You'll never get to heaven in an old Ford car

[venta]

Following a brief conversation in my office about whether or not you could get to heaven in a biscuit tin, I have to ask....

I still remember, all these years later, the impossibility of getting to heaven in a Playtex bra.

The moral judgements are fascinating :-)

None of the above responses are particularly familiar, but I did learn:

I'm a little hunk of tin,
Nobody knows what shape I'm in[1]
I've got four wheels & a running board
I'm no Chevrolet & I'm no Ford [2]
Honk Honk, Rattle Rattle Rattle Crash Be-Beep
Honk Honk, Rattle Rattle Rattle Crash Be-Beep
Honk Honk! [3]

[1] A little paradoxical give the immediate physical description that follows ;)
[2] T'internet tells me this should be "I'm no Chevy, I'm a Ford" - I may be misremembering, or it may be regional variation
[3] Forfeits/you're out for anyone who continues the third iteration with a 'Ratt...' - if I remember correctly, it gets repeated with increasing number of silent words, a la Heads Shoulders Knees & Toes ;)
