No. He likes to borrow mules. He hangs out in taverns from time to time. The church crowd already know the way. His interest is largely in those who don't. He has been known to frown on legalistic factions. Jesus loves gay people. He does not condemn people. Yet. He just wants you to love him. Not because you have to, but because you WANT to.

For me, all of these questions address the concepts of DISCERNMENT and INTENT.
Mercedes: many used ones are reasonably priced and of excellent quality; they are cheaper and better than many new cars---a wise investment, if driving is necessary.
Jesus and other Biblical prophets (distinct from wise men/kings) were apparently too preoccupied to be material engineers or fundraisers. They utilized suitable preexisting structures or natural environments.
Without addressing any moral questions inferred by the citation of clinics and parades, I would say that Jesus spoke, physically touched, and EMPATHIZED with all types of people, to the astonishment of many from his culture and others.
However, he was an ardent and effective observer and resister of personal and societal evils. That is why he was loved and feared by so many within such a short span of time.
Jesus seemed to address or commune with others and God rather than socialize. Again, too preoccupied. Not too much down time that we know about. Always working, one could say.

He would be driving an old VW Bus, smoke stuff and find ways to bring peace to those around him.
Either that or he would do the intelligent thing and just postpone his visit for a while until the human race is finally humbled enough to realize that we are but a tiny little "blip" in the universe and ultimately, we are not powerful enough to mean much in the greater scheme of things.
Jesus didn't support churches. He didn't hate and socialized with anyone who would listen.
I suspect you know this though...

He'd drive an electric car because he wouldn't want to ruin the environment. He wouldn't wear fancy stuff but may have a small church and then let it grow. He would picket abortion clinics and maybe even destroy them(moneychangers at the temple) and would socialize with everyone(women at the well)

If he was the same as portrayed in the NT then he wouldn't be overly excessive in any material goods, accept maybe his choice of Cologne.
Christians love the throw the word of the Lord at people and tell them their friends and families will burn in hell, but consistently forget that Christ clearly stated that they must sell everything they have, give it too the poor, follow him and start preaching the good news. Jesus is CLEAR about that and Love thy neighbor. I don't listen to people who profess to follow a belief system of a Messiah, when they don't follow his teaching. It is dishonest and nullifies any opinion they may have on his other teachings or their impression of which OT laws we should follow and which ones we should ignore.

The same thing He did then.He would walk.
He would be homeless.
He would preach to the LOST souls, the people the world has given up on.
I do not think he would hold a sign, He is the sign.
He would socialize with anyone who would seek Him.
For the record, Jesus is alive and well, He is here.
He gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit to move on us and within our lives.
GOD IS WORKING.......EVEN NOW!!!!

I think it's more important to live our individual lives the way Jesus would have us do rather than point the finger toward those whose way of life we dislike. God will deal with them. Besides, if you have more than clothes on your back, a roof over your head and food to eat when your hungry you are living "high off the hog" as well. The same finger you point at them can be pointed at you as well. It's always best to be conscious of the blessing in your life and not condemn the actions of others.

No he would not do none of that stuff. He's sinless. He would not worry about money and other stuff like that. When he was on this earth he did not have one church in which he preached or he did not have a chariot to ride on and he was not a violent guy. And he teached everyone who would listen.
