I didn't know whether to call this "How Would Jesus Drive" (HWJD), or "It's a Jeep thing, Jesus wouldn't understand".
So I was on my way to work today, driving in the middle of three lanes admiring a tricked-out Jeep in front of me. It was lifted, had fat tires, and a roof rack that could carry all the fixins for a weekend camping trip. We're at a red light in the middle of three lanes when the light turns green. We get through the intersection, and are within about 300 feet of where the right lane ends. All of a sudden, another equally tricked-out Jeep (this one is yellow with a big snorkel) steps on the gas and launches out into the soon-to-end right lane. He passes me and hops back into my lane just past where his lane ended. He had to squeeze me out of the way in order to get in front of me as he did. Naturally, I honked. Naturally, he flipped me off and slammed on his brakes. In addition to the snorkel and the sweet yellow paint job, this second Jeep had one other distinguishing feature: a cowbell with a cross painted on it hanging from the trailer hitch.
My first thought was that this guy was trying to get ahead of me so he could catch up to his 4x4 brother and they could share a "Jeep thing" (and possibly phone numbers). But I don't drive a Jeep, so I didn't even try to understand. Bottom line, it didn't look like they were together, so the guy was either just passing me to be an ass, or he wanted to rub his "Jeep thing" up against something that looked similar. I guess the real bottom line was that this guy was advertising his righteousness while driving like an idiot. How would Jesus drive?
