Jesus would definitely be an auto enthusiast and he would have owned many cars. Read:

http://www.av1611.org/wwjd.html

==============================================

Searching the King James Bible we found some interesting and amusing references to automobiles in the Bible. . .

In Jeremiah the Lord drives the children of Israel in His Plymouth Fury:

Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them. . . in my fury, . . ."
Jeremiah 32:27

But Job leaves in a Pontiac Tempest

Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
Job 26:20

In Nahum 1:3 the Lord has His way in a Geo Storm.

. . . the LORD hath his way . . . in the storm, . . .
Nahum 1:3

The walls of Jericho came down when the Dodge Ram's horn was "blast".

And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn,. . .
Joshua 6:5

Titus went to the Corinthians in his own Honda Accord.

For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
2 Corinthians 8:17

In Genesis 32 Jacob apparently went car shopping as he passed over the Ford Jabbok. The Ford Jabbok was very popular in the days in Jacob. (The Jabbok resembled the Ford Escort but was discontinued in BC 1250).

And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
Genesis 32:22

The Lord sends an American Motors Ambassador to the heathen. Probably not a good car to buy?

I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen,. . .
Jeremiah 49:14

And there's Saul trying to smite David to the wall with his American Motors Javelin. Ouch! That would hurt.

And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; . . .
1 Samuel 19:10

Job seems to think God is partial to the Dodge Arrow:

For the arrows of the Almighty are. . . in array. . . Job 6:4

But by far the most popular automobile is the Dodge Spirit.

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit. . ." Ezekiel 37:1

John the Baptist went in Elias's Dodge Spirit:

And he shall go before him in the spirit. . . of Elias, . . .
Luke 1:17

I believe Paul needed a little bigger car because he was pressed in the small Dodge Spirit.

. . . Paul was pressed in the spirit,. . .
Acts 18:5

Another time Paul was "bound" in the Dodge Spirit. Paul you need a bigger car. . . Maybe an SUV?

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem,. . . Acts 20:22

Finally, Paul gets his SUV. Julius gave him a Jeep Liberty SUV to go see his friends.

And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends. . .
Acts 27:3

And of course, we need to pray in our Dodge Spirit. (Pray that ol Dodge keeps running).

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. . .
Ephesians 6:18

And we should worship God in the Dodge Spirit:

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit,. . .
Philippians 3:3

And there's some folks who even live in their Dodge Spirit. I think I've seen a few of those folks on the side of the road.

. . . but live according to God in the spirit. . .
1 Peter 4:6

In Revelation, John was in the Dodge Spirit on the Lord's day:

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,. . .
Revelation 1:10

I'm not sure what Saul and Jonathan drove . . . but it was faster than the Jeep Eagle:

Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles. . .
2 Samuel 1:23

Now I can relate to this next guy. There's a certain man in 1 Kings 22:34 who must have gotten a real lemon. He tried to shoot his Chevy Venture mini-van. (I've had a few cars I'd like to shoot.) I had one that I . . . Oops, better not bring that up.

And a certain man drew a bow at a venture,. . .
1 Kings 22:34

In Hebrews 11:34 tells of those who like their Plymouth Valiant clean and shiny as they "waxed" their Plymouth Valiant: Of course, all that rubbing and waxing "made them strong".

Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant. . .
Hebrews 11:34

In 2 Chronicles 32:5 Hezekiah repaired his Minutoli Millo and made Dodge Darts in abundance. I believe he owned Hezekiah Autos in the city of David.

Also he strengthened himself, . . . and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts. . . in abundance.
2 Chronicles 32:5

==============================================

But remember that Jesus was a son of a carpenter. He probably did most of his driving in a rusted out Ford Econoline van with a ladder rack

In Chicago, Jesus prefers public transportation. I've seen him waiting for the bus and the el, usually on the north side. Most of the time he's in a white robe but occasionally in a purple one. He always carries a cross.

Here are some links of other Chicagoan's Jesus sightings and a really good pic:

Funny, but you're going straight to hell. LOL.

This one is easy IMO. Jesus would drive a shuttle van similar to this one:

http://www.tescobus.com/bus/goshen_pacer.html

(Side note - I wonder if the disciples would have shouted "SHOTGUN!" as they headed to the vehicle???)

Regarding fuel economy, he wouldn't be too worried. If the man turned water into wine and could feed a crowd with only a loaf of bread and a few fish, then filling the fuel tank of whatever he drove would not be a major problem for him!

lol! Reminds me of a Southpark episode involving turning water into wine. "Now, Turn around..." Sorry, Southpark inside joke...

I seriously don't think conspicous consumption is something he would promote. I can think of a number pastors that would risk losing a lot of their congretion if they had a message on that ("just look in our parking lot....")

Funny you should mention it; so I get a huge kick out of the fact that like 3 times as many people go to Easter service as any other time of the year. Parallel parked RIGHT in front of the church entrance when I got there was an H2 with at least a 6" lift, 33 or 35" mudder tires, and probably a $10,000 custom airbrushed paintjob, along with various do-dads and such. Probably about an $80,000 truck if he's got all the TV's and stuff inside that you'd expect, and with the monster tires and lift, I'd be surprised if he's ever had a single tank in the double digits. Seeing such a vehicle parked outside a church just seemed weird. On the other hand, it's not like I'd ever seen it before, so he's undoubtedly one of those 2-day-a-year Christians.

Hope nobody minds this remark, but his spiritual needs may match what he is driving.

We had a word for the Christmas+Easter service attendees when I was an alter boy 25 years ago. We called them "Chr-easters" (pronounced 'Kree-sters')
