We already have the people mover. The Honda Odyssey handles better than most 7 - Seaters we've tried, although it still isn't much chop. (Sorry).
I'm sure that you weren't going for any pain prizes, so I'll just say thank you for having the, umm, gumption to do this, even though it took you four years. One day my wife might thank you also. After I find a suitable depilatory cream and a doctor who I only have to meet once.
Also, that saying you know nothing about cars bit? O'rly?

Muse: TV Review: Good Gods Almighty!, in reply to Emma Hart,
I just saw the almighty. He came to me like a vision in the night sky. I mean, just watched it on MySky. Can see the appeal. Hope it develops a bit.
Douglas Adams’ The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul features a Thor with considerable problems.
He also appears in Eion Colfer’s And Another Thing, and his problems seem even more considerabler.
Ian M. Banks Surface Detail has quite an interesting take on the whole gods, heaven and hell motif. Hard to explain in 100,000 words or less, but it just quietly blew my mind.

Only if you’re going to shout me a trip to London, and stand the price of one of these. If it’s good enough for Mr Steed…
Thanks for the hat tip. Coincidentally I wore a bowler hat to my school ball. One day, when I know you better, might even drag up a picture.

“Raga Caviar Queen Dream”.
Apart from the hallucinogenic name, At 16 minutes 53 seconds, I can see why they might be considered god-like.

Speaker: What PACE actually does, in reply to Danielle,
Isn’t it a bronze *vulva*, technically?

Always with the flood! Gods these days just don't hold water.

A civilized god
Omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent and civilized? Surely you jest?

“eh what?”
If I was in Gio’s shoes right now (bear with me here) I’d be a bit pissed off with all the fostering attention one has been getting. It was I, said the fly, who made the initial fox pass, although I must say had I known the extend too wit this would unravel, well, dot dot slash. Anyone got a time machine?
Not going back there. You can’t make me…
(“Sent from my iPad”.)
You see! Don’t even have one, eh. Maybe I’m just a liberal in demise.

And what happens to a God when nobody believes in him any more?
He becomes Governor of California.

I know you are not alone in feeling this way.*
Time and a place. Is everyone Ok with this ongoing psychoanalysis? Just checking.
Well, at times I feel my engagement here has been more than just en-passant, but it is a hard discipline when the more seasoned 'black thinking-hats' (your words) get going. My minority view, and being slightly blue-blooded is the least of it, believe me, makes defending a position feel quite solitary, and therefore gets defensive very quickly.
That should be Ok, because self-respecting people know how to regulate their behaviours and avoid putting themselves in situations that could lead to 'harm'. Right?
Step one: Awareness.
Since you mentioned poetry, here's one I wrote at 21 (obscure Sufjan reference), and it seems surprisingly to have stood the test of time.
Some Guy
Some guy flies in
casing the joint
gassing the point
a sack of books
and new looks to boot;
no fly buzzing by.But one night waking
I saw his spirit making
rainbow kites,
chasing jet streams
out across some great abyss
wishing his body would stop
chasing after his mind
so he could stay a while,
pick a flower or two
for everyone that's new.
And you.Some guy sighs
and warily flies.We apparently have a pot-luck opportunity coming soon, and if some guy is in the neighbourhood, he will endeavour to drop by.
Step Two: Stop talking about yourself in the third person.
Step Three: Buy a black hat.
