VW Popemobile bringing big bucks on eBay
A VW Golf which once belonged to Pope Benedict XVI while he was still a cardinal, is fetching big bids on eBay Germany.
The car, a 1999 VW Golf in mint condition, started at $16,500. As of Tuesday night, the current bid was more than $100,000.
The car is offered for sale by 21 year-old Benjamin Halbe, who got the car in January from a used car dealer, not knowing that Joseph Ratzinger would shortly be elected the new Pontiff. Halbe says the car is a "heavenly ride."
There's no word whether the exhaust gives off white or black smoke.

It depends on whether the Pope's driving it (white), or someone else (black).
