So, as is little known, Jesus drove a car, a large Honda, but didn’t publicize the fact: “I did not speak of my own accord.” (John 12:49) You can tell it was a large Honda, likely a wagon, as it says “the apostles were in one accord” (Acts 1:14). It is appropriate that He drive a modest car. I would have expected him to drive an F150, as he was a carpenter, single, 30 years old. That’s the perfect demographic for an F150.

David also drove a small vehicle, “In a Triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.” Similarly, Isiah, (13:3), but he was proud of it:  “I have called my warriors who exult in my Triumph.”

As for God, it’s clear he drove muscle cars, “He terrifies them in his Fury. (Ps. 2:5) “Behold, I will gather them out of all countries where I have driven them .. in My fury… ” (Jeremiah 32:37). He also had a Tempest: “You snatch me up and make me ride in the Tempest.” (Job 20:32), “Pursue your enemies with your Tempest.” (Ps. 83:15).

Moses, like God drove a large vehicle, a Ram with a loud horn, “… when the Ram’s horn sounds a long blast, they can approach the mountain. (Ex 19:13). Even so, he gave a Mazda to Eliezer, “Moses gave the Tribute to Eleazar the Priest. (Numbers 31:41).

My claim is that the people of the Bible had good senses of humor, even if those today seem rather glum.
