Indie Auto gets all kinds of emails, but until today we have never received one from God. As you might imagine, this email has some exceptional qualities. For one thing, it is unusually long — more than 12,000 words!
In addition, God apparently doesn’t like paragraph breaks, so His prose looks suspiciously similar to the fine print of an insurance policy.
Since this is a car blog, I was hoping that God would weigh in on some of the great debates we have been having at Indie Auto of late. For example, was a commentator correct when he insisted that AMC was doomed?
God only addressed that debate indirectly by suggesting that He stays away from “empty discussions that get nowhere.”
I wanted to ask God a few follow-up questions, such as whether he drove a car when visiting Earth. However, the email address he used had the prefix “noneofyourbusiness.” That leads me to I assume that God is an introvert. Fair enough — I am too.
So I will take God’s above-mentioned advice to heart and hope that at some point He will pontificate on the finer points of automotive history. Of course, even God may not be able to change some people’s views, which are apparently so deeply held that they may as well be set in stone.

I tl;dr manifestos like that. Punctuation has a purpose. I even indent paragraphs (sometimes). 12,000 words without a space? SMH. God still needs an editor apparently.
I don’t believe that was actually God, because if it were he, I’m sure he’d have told you he loved driving, particularly large personal luxury coupes from the 60’s and 70’s.
Cadillac or Lincoln?
I have the feeling that God really was our new president. After all, he proclaims he was saved by the divine to be our dear leader again, Grover Cleveland style.
