The Religious Car

[jiacinto]

Why don't people like the idea?

[KG]

1. because it's moronic?

:shrug:

[Melsky]

2. What on earth

[jiacinto]

4. A car that is designed like a religious symbol

7. One word: aerodynamics.

9. I still don't get it!

and since Americans basically worship cars anyway, doesn't that make all of them religious cars?

[Wonk]

10. I think he means crosses, stars of David, Buddha statues, etc...

with wheels, drivetrains, and room for occupants, or something like that :shrug:

I also think he has me on ignore (his loss).

[jiacinto]

24. yes exactly!

[notadmblnd]

26. He said christian..

so I think it would be more like crucifixes, maybe a madonna and child.. a large fish symbol or even an easter egg.. hey! we already have several like that.. just get your volkswagons painted in easter designs and ya got yourself a religious car... at christmas they could come out a big fat santa claus car. I know santa claus is a stretch.. his beard could fly in the wind like those sports flags people attach to their cars..and the best part... when you honked the horn it whould say ho ho ho..or they could come out with a whole new divison.. the 12 deciples .. think about it.. this could be a money maker here... NOT!

12. Not to mention difficult to park

[jiacinto]

32. God will help you park

37. ok, it's things like this post

that make me think you actually do have a very keen sense of humor, but that you just keep it well hidden for the most part...

:thumbsup:

38. No, actually

Venus helps you find parking spaces. It works!! Try it sometime. Just give her a block or two before you reach your destination.

She helps in any kind of traveling situation.

18. Is it the 'Popemobile' or is it something to do with that whacky

campaign some months ago: what car would Jesus drive?.....

[KittyWampus]

23. What Is A Religious Car? The Popemobile!

Of course :)

[Wonk]

3. Why do you think it's a good idea? Let's start with that. nt

[Old and In the Way]

5. Powered by God?

What kind of mileage?

[Supply Side Jesus]

6. How about a religious sausage?

or tooth paste?

JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS A GREAT SAUSAGE!!

GOD DAMN, my mouth feel as pure as the virgin mary's vagina!!

[populistmom]

8. Of course if Jesus died in a car crash

We could all wear little cars around our neck to show we're Christian.

[Barad Simith]

11. we should do that anyway

[cmd]

13. I don't need a cross to show I'm a Christian

It's between me and God. It's a personal relationship. I'm the only one who can ruin it.

[WoodrowFan]

14. Saturn

I drive a Saturn, does that make me an ancient Roman (or was it Greek?) Pagan???

[jiacinto]

20. I really don't know

nt

[notadmblnd]

28. I don't know, but if it is greek.....

you have to enter through the rear

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

15. I always thought lowriders had religious overtones....

..correct me if I'm wrong.

[notadmblnd]

27. It does...

have you ever seen one without a plastic madonna in the front windshield?

[Ivory_Tower]

29. I'm reminded of an essay I read a couple of years ago

The author was writing about the spread of those "No Fear" window stickers that were so popular a while back, and how the people who had those stickers led pampered lives compared to most of the world.

The author then related a story about riding in a beat-up truck in Central America, where the driver was zipping at a high rate of speed along winding dirt-covered mountain roads that had no shoulder and no guardrail. The author looked over at the speedometer to see how fast they were going. The speedometer was covered up with a portrait of the Virgin Mary. The driver saw the author looking at the portrait, and just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

That's "No Fear".

16. We're in the market.

Looking at a '04 Methodist Minivan, but with the Episcopalian leather interior and Presbyterian Power windows.

Should we go with the Unitarian 6 for better fuel economy, or the more powerful Roman Catholic Rocket V-8?

She wants a Moonie roof, but I don't think it's worth the extra expense.

I'm hoping we can finance with a Muslim zero-interest loan.

[notadmblnd]

30. That was really good..

loved the post..

[trof]

31. thenkew

[jiacinto]

35. You should get the fundamentalist model

[JanMichael]

17. You've GOT to be kidding, no?

It isn't even the "religious cars" that look rather idiotic to me it's also the "sports team cars" and the "USA flag cars" and whatever other numbskull waste of resourses oozes out the ears of the possessed.

[Cheswick2.0]

19. ROFL

I have to go with the bad aerodynamics answer. :think:

[maxanne]

21. I like it

I want a big old bleeding jesus crucifixmobile to drive. :evilgrin:

[notadmblnd]

22. visuals...

I can see it now.. a 15 foot crucifix.. with a fiberglass jesus as the passenger compartment.

[Ivory_Tower]

25. Did you do something to your Honda Element?

Hmmm....I guess it bears a slight resemblance to the Ka'aba....

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

33. I think Honda Elements look kinda like confessionals...

Now that I think about it.

34. I actually bought a Catholic car..

Miss Dixie keeps trying to save my heathen soul.

No matter what radio station I choose (I favor indie rock and NPR), as soon as I hit a bump, the radio tunes into the local Jesus station. I was giving a like-minded co-worker a ride one day when Miss Dixie did it. My colleague looked at me with alarm and exclaimed "what on earth?"

I explained "please excuse Miss Dixie. I'm afraid she's a Catholic car". My friend cleared her throat, and looked at me as if I were I dangerous lunatic. "Judy, cars don't have a religion!"

"Ah, but this one does. Check out the glove-compartment".

She did. Glued to the inside of the glove-compartment was a gaudy plaque of Jesus pointing to his open chest wound, and with the caption "member of the Holy Names Auto Club".

Needless to say, I bought this car second-hand.

I'm happy to allow Miss Dixie her religious quirks; she's proven to be one of the most consistently reliable cars I've ever owned (aside from that weird thing with the radio).

36. would it fit

under an overpass? Would the Christian car be an upright cross (taking out every power line in sight) or one on its side, ready to spear someone in a headon collision?

Would it fit with Aventura decor?

[KG]

40. would it be safe to park it in a sketchy neighborhood?

:shrug:
