WWJD?

No, not "What would Jesus do?" I ask, "What would Jesus drive?" This is an old question, but with last summer's surge in gas prices, it takes on new urgency.

My answer: A pick-up, probably a 1500/150 with stock stereo, an extended cab, toolbox, towing package and bed liner.

Jesus was a carpenter. There are those in the "historical Jesus" camp that say he was more of a "contractor" than a "laborer". Regardless, he would need a place for his tools, his supplies, and his crew. The bed liner helps prevent damage and rust. He wouldn't upgrade to the Bose sound system or get the King Ranch package. If the AC went out, I don't think Jesus would bother getting it fixed.

As for the towing package, you never know when you need to bring extra material to the job site. Remember too, his buddies fished, the tow package is definitely a necessity.

Yes, a hybrid if available and powerful enough, either way Jesus would need substance over style.
