I'm continuing to work on my skills as a writer, so here's my latest article. What would Jesus drive? After four years of undergrad in Automotive Engineering followed by four years getting a Masters of Theology, I may be one of the few people qualified to answer that! So here you go. Contrary opinions welcome! Also feedback on how I can improve as a writer. Have a great Memorial Day!

Good answers, but I feel that the classic farm truck (or any old and basic pickup - a '90s F150 or Nissan Hardbody could also qualify) is the closest modern equivalent of a donkey. A simple utilitarian conveyance that is seen as modest and peaceful.

4X4 Quigley Passenger Van - he had 12 other guys that hung around him his last three years and he needed the off road capability for those treks around Mount Zion.

I don't know about the kid but the parents were likely ready to upgrade to a camper after that Dec  where there was no room at the Inn.

A Honda, obviously. He and the people were all in one Accord.

^Wrong.

Nobody drives with The Jesus.

In all fairness- at what point in his life?  

He did ride on a donkey on Palm Sunday so I like the humble pickup mentioned above.  

When he returns during the rapture the saints will meet him in the air - so a Harrier Jump Jet?  

In Revelation 19 it states at the end of the tribulation he will return on a white horse.  So a White Shelby Mustang?

As a man who'd dad once owned 3 Austin Healey's simultaneously - one to drive and two for parts - I must concur.

I enjoyed that.   No writing tips, but I concur with the concept of vehicle. 

I thus offer a hot rod Nomad.  As the quintessential modification guy - water to wine? - It'll have nitrous.
