Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?". But the
initials really have been changed to stand for "What would Jesus
drive?".
One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth
because the Bible says, "God drove Adam and Eve out of the
Garden of Eden in a Fury".
But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo.
The passage urges the Jesus to "pursue your enemies with your
Tempest and terrify them with your Storm".
Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers
are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds
a long blast".
Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to
talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel
where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own
Accord..."
Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced
by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph
is heard in the hills".
Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler:
"Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land". And,
following Jesus' lead, the Apostles car pooled in a Honda...
"The Apostles were in one Accord".

In one of the Tucker Max stories, he gets drunk and insults lots of people, someone asks him "what the hell are you doing?" or something to that effect, and his response is "what? I'm pretty sure that's what Jesus would've done." hilarious, at least when actually reading the story.

This is not exactly my area, but I believe the expression "What Would Jesus Do?" is to remind us that we should seek to be more like him in the way we live our lives. Be kind and generous to others, be humble, etc. etc.
So it's not so much about HIM, but about YOU. Get it?
