Just for fun: and what about Judas Iscariot?

Having determined that Jesus would most likely drive a Volvo speed wagon (or maybe a 50's Ford pickup or 6-speed minivan), what about Judas Iscariot? Assuming he didn't just bum rides off the other disciples, "promise" to pay for gas, and then "borrow" their aux cable, what would he actually drive if given the chance? Perhaps something evil? Here's my best guess...

Maserati BiTurbo is the great betrayer.  

The good looks of a BMW e30.  The rich looking interior (when new.)  The implied ability to go 185 mph.  

Seems like a good place to spend a lot of money.  The reality is that a BiTurbo with 50k miles is considered to be high mile.  The engine is overly complex and under for developed for reliability.  

LS-swapped RX-7. The ultimate betrayal

The problem is that Judas was a good con man - buddying up to a guy while at the same time betraying him. So chances are good that if we give Judas a BiTurbo and it craps out on him, he'll still find a way to sell it to some naif based on the cool-sounding name alone. We need to stick Judas with a car that lets him down AND can't be sold for squat.

I assure you that a BiTurbo disappoints all who encounter it.  

But what would the Flying Spaghetti Monster drive or would he drive nothing because he can fly?

Have you seen what Corrados go for? Seems like VW guys will willingly part with a small fortune to own one.

With all those appendages... assuming he doesn't want to fly, he's one of the few beings that could drive this Kenworth 3-stick truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lEYaTvvq4g

In reply to TheRev :

Fantastic answer!  (easy viewing below)

Small, fly by night,  Used Car Lot salesman.  Uses a great line of BS, and takes your money.

This is assuming Judas was really just a betrayer and not actually Jesus' most trusted disciple:

Now every time I see WWJD I'm going to think, "What Would Judas Drive?"

 Yes, my blog post took the biblical story at face value! It is an interesting debate, though. I'd love to share why I think the story as it's told in the gospels makes sense, but I'll save the overtly-religious/theological stuff for some other post or forum. I want to play nice ;-)

Apparently his disciples are a fan of Jensens.  Something about the prince of darkness...

Given the topic, and since we're free to imagine things and pass them off as fact, a mid-engine Prius with a mid-mounted turbo Honda K24 would "betray" a lot of people.

Judas would drive a post-ford owned jaguar. One of the new bubble xjs. That car turned it's back on it's kind. Perhaps a Mitsubishi eclipse whatever they call the SUV.

Or the upcoming Ford "Mach1" that's a hybrid SUV.  Talk about denying your own kind.

He would roll coal on Priuses(?).. Priui..  rowing through a swastika shift gate.

FSM has his noodly appendages all over Ken Block's drift car.

Lamborghini Diablo perhaps

LS-swapped Mustang would seem more apropos :)

Wonder how the vanity plate IKILDJC would go over at the DMV 

Also, Jesus is totally down with LS swapped RX-7s, here he is helping me drop the engine in mine.

After a little bit of web research, it seems that estimates of the value of 30 pieces of silver in those days would be as little as $90 or as much as $3000.

I supposed he'd have to drive something from a buy here-pay here lot or a challenge car.
