Mustang Church of America
And now, another episode of It Could Only Happen in America!

Charles Ales, a non-denominational Christian from Frogtown, Pittsburgh, loves classic Fords so much that he's building the Mustang Church of America.

Set to open this summer, the church already has its logo ready - a Christian fish with the Mustang horse inside. Ales plans to preside over car shows, swaps and two Mustang blessings each year.

Ales' collection of classic Mustangs - including all three of Ford's in-house 'Boss' specials - will be housed within the church. The wall behind the pulpit will feature a mural of - and we're really, really not making this up - Jesus at the wheel of a 1966 Mustang.

"Somebody asked me if I wasn't worried about people thinking this was sacrilegious," says Ales. "Well, I hope Jesus has a sense of humour."

Jesus is yet to comment on the revelations.

I like to think that Jesus would approve of this. He'd be practising turning water into beer or petrol, and convincing the various saints to go road tripping. While drunk. After all, the monks to make some very tasty beers, so it stands to reason that they'd be served at any celebrations...

Not to get into an argument over religion, but I think he's on to something: stop worshiping nonexistent entities and start worshiping your ride

Yes, like any of the rest of you can claim to come from idiot-free nations. Is it dumb?......sure. But dumb knows no nationality.
