Want to keep your new car safe and protect everyone who rides within it? IndiaAutomobile.com offers a guide for conducting a puja. Hindus use the ritual, which shows respect for chosen gods or goddesses, to ask for a blessing on a newly-purchased object. The pujari performs the puja at a Hindu temple. You'll need four lemons, one coconut and money (for the pujari). Alternatively, Christians may use this blessing provided by Drdriving. If you have any safe driving rituals or ceremonies (you OCD readers, you), let us know.

There is a man at work who places yellow dots on the four sides of his car. Before he leaves and after he returns he walks around the car praying.
Don’t know if his driving record is any better than anyone else here though.
I’ve got my Jesus on the dashboard but the Devil’s under the hood. (Apologies to the bloodhound gang.) Actually, St. Christopher medals are quite popular with the Roman Catholic set — patron saint of safe travel. Me, I wish some of ’em would spend less time praying and more time paying attention to the road. Nothing like getting nearly run over by some dope w/ a “PRAY4U” license plate to sour one’s mood.
Jut go through the ceremony of narrowly surviving a few at fault accidents when you are young. That does the trick trust me you’ll drive a lot safer after that
I have kept a rosary in my ash tray or draped around the stick since I started driving 17 years ago. I am deathly afraid of removing it, I know God will flatten me the second I do.
i always say a prayer when the missus drives
Yup, I’ve driven with a St. Christopher pendant before.
My ritual:
1) Buckle seat belt
2) Make sure head is not in ass
3) Say prayer – Dear Lord, please keep idiot drivers who have not followed step 2 out of my way and give me the ability to know when they haven’t. Amen.
4) Start car
5) Watch for unanswered prayers
.45ACP on the passenger seat (CCW). Supposed to help with carjackings.
Where do you live that you can drive with it in plane view in the passenger seat? I thought it had to be out of sight in just about every state.
When I lived in southern California the Catholics had a big blessing of the cars ceremony, sort of similar to blessing of the pet animals on St. Francis Day. It was a big deal and sort of like a big party.
Fundamentalist Christians have those little fish moldings. Evolutionists have fish with legs. There are bigger fish that eat the little fish, both with and without legs.
And of course, there’s always Calvin baptizing things.
As long as the weapon is in a holster/zippered pouch, he’s good to go in FL.
Shoot first – sort’em out . . . later? :-P
My automotive ritual:
– Buckle seat belt
– Adjust mirrors to remove blind spots
– Watch for other drivers praying instead of driving
I’m an atheist, I just change my oil and filter every X-thousand miles.

The way people drive in India, they need all the help they can get.
Oh wait, we Americans drive crazier than Indians do.
Oh wait, we Americans drive crazier than Indians do.
I don’t know about that. All the Indian students I knew at Tech said traffic/drivers in Atlanta were civil and tame compared to just about anything in India.
Redbarchetta:
AZ is a open carry state.
As long as the weapon is in plain sight technically you don’t even need the CCW
when i am in thailand on trips all the taxi has the marks from the monks they still try to scare the crap out of you there My friend has the priest bless his ford which i thought was dumb but wah do i know?
CO is also open carry. But a nice benefit is even with out a CCW you can conceal (even on your person) in your car. Except in Denver where the hippies have ruined it. I’m just hoping the Boulder hippies don’t ruin it for me.
I believe Ohio mandates that you have to put your weapon into a clearly visible place when driving.
Here in PA, I not only am expected to keep it concealed, but I’m under no obligation to the police about it when stopped.
Can one of the four lemons be the car?
