Lee Iacocca is an automotive legend who has just shown up everywhere throughout automotive history. The first Ford Mustang? Iacocca was there. The Chrysler K Car? Iacocca was there. Minivans? Oh, you bet Lee Iacocca was all over it. The hero of Chrysler even tried to work his magic on e-bikes.
Now, there’s a new Pope, and we can’t shake the feeling that the new guy looks an awful lot like Iacocca. The comments on our post were great. Canopysaurus:
Leo Ima Popa.
Angel “the Cobra” Martin:
Hey, what’s it gonna take for me to get you into this religion today? How about $129 per month forever.
PresterJohn:
Even better: Pope Leo XIV wrenched while in Peru:
“He washed his own dishes, he said, and liked to fix cars, searching YouTube for solutions when he was stumped.”
Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man:
Pope Prevost will bless your RV!
Man With A Reliable Jeep:
We have gone full circle Jesus Chrysler Supercar.
Speaking of the Pope, Dartz has a whole Popemobile proposal thing going on. Sid Bridge:
It’s got a Pope motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it’s got Pope tires, Pope suspension, Pope shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Popemobile or what?
David’s going through a crisis because basically none of his cars are family-friendly. Clearly, he hasn’t chosen the best option here. ChefCJ:
It’s like you’re missing the obvious choice- sell everything and start over with an entirely new round of terrible decisions!
Have a great evening, everyone!

I think this might be my first COTD! Looking forward to Vatican News posting video of the Pope changing the oil in the Popemobile!
You gotta at least try to get him to do a guest post on his wrenching exploits. I’m sure it would stand out among interview requests!
First comment! Woohoo!
I’m going back to sleep…
