Jesusmobile?
Comments(8)
Has anyone else seen this car in Lakeland? This guy drives around all the “Hot Spots” of Lakeland every Saturday. You may have seen him at Chik-fil-A or the Cobb theater.
The dude has hundreds, nay, thousands of random figurines super glued to his ’99 Toyota Camry. In addition to the figurines he has magnetized and/or adhesive letters that say “Jesus Saves!” and various Christianese slogans. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about witnessing. But is this really effective? I know some of you are thinking, “Well, you’re talking about it so clearly it made an impact on you.” Let me be the first to say that the church does a lot of stuff that gets talked about, but is ineffective. Maybe I’m wrong, but this just doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that makes you think, “I wanna’ be like that guy.”

The church DOES do a lot that is not effective. I hate it (and have since I was a kid in children’s church) when church’s rip off secular slogans. It’s one thing to go and use what is popular in order to reach people. That is not what I am talking about.
I am talking about: “Lord’s Gym,” (Gold’s Gym) “God’s Way.” (Subway), “The Real Thing.”
I also didn’t like the cheesy songs that ripped off popular songs.
I’m all for adopting successful practices, ideas and cultural phenomena, but don’t just blatantly copy someone else’s slogan or logo and change a word or two.
This yahoo has been around for years. This car is nothing when you consider his last one, a mid 80s LeSabre. It was the size of an aircraft carrier and every inch of that thing had Jesus crap on it. And trophies. The older vehicle seemed to have a thing for trophies; they were probably Bible Quiz trophies at that.
I see him a lot. Did you notice: “Fill with God’s love” on the gas tank.
Side note: I’m totally cool with being culturally relevant in terms of technology etc. But when the major source of creativity for the church is just whatever everyone else is doing…It’s disappointing.
Well, I don’t know about effective, but I dig it. I like art in any form.
I hope I get one of those cars when I get to Heaven!
If I had to drive a car like this, I would feel like I was in the opposite of heaven!
This is:
1. Hilarious
2. An absolute safety hazard
3. Hilarious
I have to agree with Meghan, it screams safety hazard. It seems very distracting as you cruise down the road, hang out the window, and take a picture. VERY conscerning! Tell me my baby sister wasn’t in the car with you.
