If the holy wine (I forget the proper term for it) is supposed to be the blood of Jesus, does that imply that if you concentrate that wine and then run an engine off it, you have a Jesus fueled car?

That must scrub the hell out of the tyres... unless you're on sand or a greasy wet road

The G-class? Of course. But the pope‘s special model?

Organized religion and a display of obscene wealth.
Name a better duo.

It's basically the perfect vehicle to be an EV. Short trips with frequent stops, and no need to travel long distances.

This is not the kind of pollution I was talking about when I said organized religion was hurting the planet.
