This prototype stretch limousine, built specifically for the safety of Pope Paul VI, was also used as a parade vehicle for Apollo astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Jim Lovell. Astronauts, the pope, and a 1964 Lincoln Continental. It's like the most random, yet awesome, trifecta imaginable. There's a host of interior modifications, a...

But is an SUV really the thing to pull us out of this tailspin? First off...
There's no arguing Audi's R8 supercar is a thing of both beauty and ability. In V-10 form it's even sharper. Then there's the stellar R8 GT. But is it better than Shark Week?
