Money To Burn?

I came across this one, and just could not resist the chance to weigh in on it. Who would have ever thought a 1975 Ford Escort would fetch $690,000? Well that's what the Pope John Paul's vehicle went for on the auction block. For some, this may be a chance to purchase a piece of history. For others, I can't help but wonder if it's an opportunity to show off their own financial well being. How ironic that a man who gave so much, so selflessly to others has his previously owned vehicle sold for nothing more than bragging rights. I am not a heavy hitter in the church department, but it is quite understood that there are some "people" you just don't mess with.
