Just to lighten the mood I wondered whether you could express great philosophical questions in terms of motoring related items? The only one I could come up with at this late hour was this:

If an italian/french car of your choice collapses in a heap in a deserted car park with no-one around does it make a noise?

if you left a meastro on its own for longer than 5 mins, did the lady computer start whinging to herself?

if you back your car into the garage......don't reverse it out!!.

Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?

Why do people get their tires rotated? Don?t tires rotate on their own?

If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn your head lights on, what happens?

In answer to my question what car would Jesus drive:
Simple.
A Landrover Series 1
Why?
It too was an immauculate conception.

DVD
Motoring philosophy - PhilW
Sorry DVD, but it wasn't Jesus that was the Immaculate Conception, but the Virgin Mary so that she could be the Mother of Jesus. However, she would probably have driven the Landie!!
Now where would I be without that good Catholic education??

Motoring philosophy - BazzaBear {P}
Surely 'immaculate conception' refers to her getting pregnant without *ahem*, so neither of them IS an immaculate conception, but Jesus is the result of one, and Mary had one happen to her?
Perhaps she is an immaculate conceptor (which I'm afraid sounds like a Transformer robot) and he is an immaculate conceptee?

Please don't remind me. I said that to someone once, in Cambridge. He wanted to go to the rail station and was on the opposite side of the one-way system. Giving verbal directions was going to be an utter nightmare and (without thinking) I said that this wasn't the best place to start from.

He gave me a long cold hard stare that left me with the distinct impression that had he not been trapped inside a car then I would have sustained injury by now.

Someone once said of Columbus that he was actually pretty useless as an explorer. When he set off, he didn't know where he was going. When he got there, he didn't know where he was, and when he got back, he didn't know where he'd been.

Just like my mum, really.

In the same vein Churchill said of Lord North.

When he got to his feet he didn't know what he was going to say. While he was speaking he didn't know what he was saying and when he sat down he didn't know what he had said!

Is the sign of the fish on the boot of a car also the sign of complete motoring incompetence?
Also,the arm hanging from the drivers window is the international sign for "I do not have air conditioning".

No it means the driver is in the hands of a higher power and as such, doesn't need to drive with as much care.

OK, how about:

No matter how fast you travel the road of life, there is always a white transit waiting to overtake you.
