The Vatican is taking on road rage. Vatican officials Tuesday released a sort of a Ten Commandments on the moral aspects of driving. No. 1: Thou shall not kill. Also, teenagers listen up: a car shall not be used as a place of sin. Coming in at No. 5: Cars shall not be an expression of power and domination.

Nowhere on the list was: Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's two-seater convertible.
