Surely old fashioned, yet biweekly, I check the tire pressure on our cars. This being winter, the tires in question are blizzaks. <\/p>\n

My club – those who check their tires – is not large [1]. Yet, it is the interloper that is most<\/em> satisfying. <\/p>\n

Recently, it was a fuel truck driver, shivering while disgorging petrol into the nearby underground tanks. He inquired after the reliability and utility of our late model Subaru. I shared positive words, but for the two recalls and a recent hood latch annoyance. <\/p>\n

Diving further into autodom, we agreed on the pleasures of German cars as he described two: a VW and BMW. News of his Munich V-8 maintenance costs “we were driving into Chicago….”, included a rather lengthy sigh. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today’s encounter was deeper and unusually spiritual. Glancing skyward from my pressure gauge, a jet black Ford Mustang gleamed in the afternoon sun. Its owner vigorously wiping fresh soap residue away.<\/p>\n

There was more. Fonts and text. Words on the trunk and bumper. A vanity license plate. A sticker facing followers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I inquired about the car and verses. Why a Mustang? <\/p>\n

“It represents Revelation’s black horse, spiritual famine”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fascinating.<\/p>\n

The two verses featured on her black Mustang are:<\/p>\n

Revelation 19:13 [New International<\/a> King James<\/a> Martin Luther Commentary<\/a>]<\/p>\n

2 Corinthians 6:17 [New International<\/a> King James<\/a> Martin Luther Commentary<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Vanity Plate: Revelation 6:5 [New International<\/a> King James<\/a>]<\/p>\n
