Cars in the Bible?!

I remember reading several times in the past few years during various Bible studies that the coming of the automobile may very well have been propheshied in the Old Testament. Interesting stuff.
I google-searched "Cars in the Bible" and unfortunately I came across a lot of silly jokes and such. One site wasn't bad though. WWJD-What Would Jesus Do? What Would Jesus Drive? http://www.highrock.com/personal/WWJD/

The more serious mention of cars being in the Bible is found in Nahum 2:3-4:
"...the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. The chariots shall rage in the streets (road rage?), they shall jostle one against another in the broad roads( fender benders?) : they shall seem like torches, they shall run like lightnings."
Do not get me wrong here...I just find it quite interesting but of course this is just a side issue and not to be compared with the OBVIOUS prophesies of Christ coming, his suffering, death and resurrection. Check out these guys who are strong believers that this is indeed bible prophesy concerning automobiles: http://thepeopleoftruth.org/BibleGuys/Jan2000/Jan2000.html?TheBibleSaid.html
Like my new car air-freshener!? Kind of appropriate in light of the new nuclear situation we find ourselves in on the Korean peninsula...
