Would Jesus drive a MINI?
That article is a little silly, but if you click on the link to the actual WWJDrive website there is a video download of their TV commercial that is very amusing.
Not really a church-going type myself, but I'm certainly impressed with whoever put this together. I certainly agree with all 5 of the bulleted points in their pledge.

I think His Holiness the Dalai Lama would! He is such a happy being- he exudes joy! He would have such a great time in a MINI!

Well, Jesus is my constant companion and one awesome Co-pilot!.
Is He yours, too?

My opinion is certainly arguable, but the MINI is really the first car that I have seen that gives me the ability to have a high-performance car without too much guilt over what I am doing to the environment.
I'll get a fuel-cell powered MINI if they will make one for me (as long as I get to also have my MCS too!)
Uh, oh, now I'm being greedy and starting to covet things that are not mine. . . P

This appeared recently on http://www.andrewsullivan.com:
What Would Jesus Drive? One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because "the Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury." But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm." 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 drove a Honda but 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." Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler: "Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land." And, following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled in a Honda... "The Apostles were in one Accord."

Jesus would drive a Mini. However, it would need to be a JCW Mini or a Mini S with some mod work.

The Andrew Sullivan quote is a riff (if not an unattributed swipe) from a page several years old. Some posted the link here a while ago, and it includes all the appropriate pictures.
In any event, everyone knows Jesus Built My Hotrod. For those lovers of trivia, that's Brad Dourif as Hazel Motes in Wise Blood in the sampled dialog.

I knew it was Brad Dourif but never which movie. Cool! Thanks for the 411. You wouldn't happen to know where the "Dingadangdongmylangalonglinglong" comes from?
BTW, I bumped into Ministry at dinner last year in Chicago (Their old home turf.). Wait a minute! Ministry......Jesus.......coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!!!!

I was reading Wise Blood this summer, and the movie apparently uses the dialog verbatim. I have the CD, it hasn't seen the inside of a CD player in, oh, eight years. So I walked around my apartment for about an hour reading the passage aloud hoping it would trigger the memory. It did, I'm pleased to say; score one for humans over Google. I always assumed the "dingadang..." is Gibby (who is a guest on the CD, right?).
And if you haven't read Wise Blood, do.
