Most people assume that WWJD stands for "What would Jesus do?". But the initials actually stand for "What Would Jesus Drive?".
One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth, because the Bible states, "God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury".
However, in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage urges Jesus to "pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm".
But, perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast".
Some scholars insist that Jesus actally drove a Honda, only he didn't like to talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own Accord..."
Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills".
As for Joshua, he drove a Triumph sports car with its muffler filter taken off: "Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land".
And, of course, following Jesus' lead, the twelve apostles car-pooled in a Honda...
"The apostles were in one Accord".

Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.

You're neglecting the old, wonderfully cynical tune that was made immortal by a Janis Joplin rendition:
O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
My friends all have Porsches I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends;
O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
O Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me
I'll wait for delivery each day until 3
O Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Oh Lord won't you buy me a night on the town
I'm counting on you Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me & buy the next round.

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
