Was’nt the Apostles in Jerusalem in an Accord:D Acts 5:8
 
A well kept old pick up to carry his carpentry tools and mother.:hammering:
 
I think having four wheels and an engine should be enough for a simple guy like Him wouldn’t you think? ;)😛
 
He wouldn’t own a car. He’d get a friend, a follower, a tax-collector or a prostitute to take Him wherever He needed to go.
 
Haha, good replies though far.

But seriously, what should a Catholic trying to be devout consider when it comes to a pair of wheels? Any of you ever think about the spirituality of autos?
 
Yes, actually. Next time I buy a car, it will be small, gas-efficient, inexpensive and without a lot of the bells and whistles which were necessary to me in the past. However, my current vehicle, a LeSabre, which I detest - you have no idea how much I hate that car - was a gift, gets reasonable mileage and only has 24,000. miles on it, so it’s cost-effective to hang on to it for awhile.
 
What does your car need to do?

Get you, by yourself, from point A to point B?
Accomodate your mother, wife, or someone you’re dating?
Accomodate children? Babies in car seats?
Carry friends to Mass or Confession or other apostolic activities?
Carry the elderly - your parents or people you might be helping?
Carry cargo of any kind?

If you drive alone many miles each way to work every day and no one else rides in your car, you can go as clean and green and uncomfortable as you like as a way of living holy poverty.

If you drive others, you need to include charity to them in your choice of automobile and features. It is not fair to force others to live poverty when they ride in your car. It should be comfortable and welcoming, in the same way that your home should be, if you are using it to serve others.

Just about any car can be called “American” now, and lots of “American” cars are, in fact, partially or all foreign made.

Now I like your answer best by far.

Yet I wonder what would make people think that (“Jesus” the Son of God") would have need of wheels in the first place. He could transport Himself physically (“anywhere”) at a moments notice faster than we can blink our eyes. Then again; He could occupy many thousands of cities, towns, and villages all at the same moment without hesitation. Who needs wheels when He who created the universe exist inside and outside of time and beyond the realm of physical realities.
 
He wouldn’t drive. He and the disciples would ride in a 15-passenger van, supplied by one of His wealthy secret admirers. Peter would do the driving.
