During Sunday evening's Mass, our priest noted in his homily that he felt that oftentimes certain luxury car drivers have a tendency to think they own the road...it was not a political statement as much as a Seinfeld-esque observational opening to the point of his message.

Anyway...

I have been obsessing about cars lately and the good Father's story made me think: WWJD? What Would Jesus Drive?

After much pontification, I came up with two vibrant vehicular images of my Lord and Savior:

The most obvious is as a humble, scruffy guy on a rusty mountain bike in teva sandals, hair blowing in the breeze (why would HE need a helmet?!?!)

But somehow I'm more drawn to image #2: Him  totally owning the road and showing those Pharisees who is Boss in a SWEEEEEEEEET muscle car: the 1969 Pontiac GTO aptly named "The Judge"!!!!!




Two weeks ago, while on my way to CONFESSION, I was graced with the pleasure of driving alongside a convertible version of the above machine and although the paint appeared to be fading, the unmistakable "The Judge" decal badge was still prominently displayed. I took it as a witty and ironic joke between me and the Big JC.
