Fucking with a coworker back in the day who drove a monster SUV with zero need. I don't noramlly make judgement on that but I knew the family well. Her husband had a nice truck and their one kid was adult and moved out.

"I drive it because it's safer."

"So you're happy to kill someone in a tiny car like mine, as long as you're OK?"

<stares motherfuckerly>

"Aren't you Christian? What do you figure Jesus would say about that?"

"Get out of my office Shalafi."

🤷🏻

It bugs me when people refuse to acknowledge they're being a selfish prick. At least have the strength of character to look someone in the eye and say "Yes, I'd rather you die than me". Fucking cowards.

Old joke, but Jesus drove a Honda sedan.

He and his disciples were together in one Accord.

Maybe he doesn’t mention it cause it’s all dinged up since he’s shit at parking. Thinking you’re a god means fuck off fuck off in parallel

According to The Simpsons, it was blue.

John 10:18:

"No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father".

He didnt just drive it, he raced it, using NOS given to him by god!

It isn't safer if all of the other drivers are also in massive suvs.

There's also humans in the world. Not just drivers.
