Why the insults?

What insult?

 

[Mingus Dew]

Ya, I have test driven so many cars this year, and I just can't get the G70 off of my brain, so f*** it. I drove the Gv70 and liked it. I just have no use for an SUV as much as I like some of the sporty ones like the 6-cylinder Gv70 and the Sq5. It's funny I was dead set on getting a 21+ Lexus because I love the back end and the reliability has always been top tier. After reading more and more about the new ones, I decided to stop looking at Lexus's. Besides, I'd want an IS350, but you can't find any of them. I can find some Is500's but just too much, imo, when you can get something better for similar or even less

Need an SUV or wagon unfortunately. The SQ8 is really nice. RS6 would be ideal but too pricey for me.

If I could buy a sedan I’d be trying to find a CT5 Blackwing and learning stick to drive it manual.

What insult?

I guess maybe you insulted gov't by calling gov't efficiency an oxymoron? I suspect he just didn't understand the comment though...

Anyways, we're getting dangerously close to political talk, so probably best to just move onto another subject, like @Mingus Dew's next sweet ride.

Car talk is the worst punishment

 

[Mingus Dew]

Car talk can be ended.

Anyone watch the new Dune premiere on HBO? Was alright but I really am not a fan of the Brian Herbert stuff. Too schlocky.

Didn't even hear about it, is it like a prequel series?

I like the blackwing as well; too pricey for me as well. I find all those top ends to be awesome—the RS, Blackwing, M, etc. It would be awesome to have one, but it is just so unnecessary. Where I live, there are so many speed bumps and speed cameras. It feels almost pointless to have the 360 hp I am about to have. I should just buy a 2018 Corolla and call it a day.

Yeah. 10,000 years before the events of the first novel. It’s about the rise of the Bene Gesserit.

I love Dune more than any other fictional series so I will devour it but it definitely feels a step below the recent movies.

There's a ridiculous amount of good tv on this month. Definitely have Dune Prophecy on my list but it might take some time to get to.

Absolutely.

Especially if you haven’t finished The Penguin. Legitimate masterpiece.

Life is short man. Something like the Blackwing wont even exist in 10 years. A six speed manual sedan with a supercharged V8 putting out 650+ HP. Thing of beauty.

Penguin ended up being everything I ever wanted and more.

Yes, they won't exist in 10 years, but driving one will just end up costing me my license, probably.

you have been paying close attention.

You do know that it is Religious laden...

Bene Gesserit is Jewish. And is roughly Clan of the Jesuit
In Arabic it is roughly Clan of the Peninsula!!! As in Saudi Arabia a Peninsula.

As soon as I saw it!!!....Bene is close to Banu.. Arabic for Children of. Or tribe/clan.

Did you watch the first movie.. Islamic messaging everywhere. And Christian messaging about a 'Prophet"..

At one time in the movie, the protagonist is referred to by the supporting desert tribe by an Arabic word that was close to messiah. One lady tells her companion, "we must be sure he is the madi..." Close to Mahdi.. Muslim for savior.

Mr. Villeneuve (adopted Daughter; Salomé) was really digging into Religion. Christianity/Islam and Arab culture.


By the way, So did George Lucas.. May the Force be with you.... Per his words: May God be with you

Yes the books’ main message revolves around the dangers of organized religions, messianic prophecy and so on. The parallels to real world religions are extremely intentional.

I always thought the BG were more like the Catholic Church to be honest but multiple interpretations are valid.
