#413 of 472 I Know What You Mean About Being Smart... (hopeitsfriday) by john325 Jan 06, 2003 (8:40 pm)
Within his post (#407) jacksonman says, "Like I posted previously,...". I interpret that to mean he posted it already. Your mileage may vary.   And yes I agree hopeitsfriday, there are "plenty of dumb drivers on the road". Please be careful...
#414 of 472 One final message to John325 by actionman Jan 07, 2003 (10:11 am)
Sorry to bog you all down. I mentioned my crash twice, although the first time it was briefly noted. Thought I'd expand on why certain attributes are important to me. If you found it uninteresting or overstated (although you didn't take the time to research). I never said "T-boned", although I did T-bone that Lex. Referring to the ambulance ride as "cool" accomplishes a few things. First, it is an example of irony. Second, it was stated in jest - sort of a witty pithy comment if you know what I mean. Third, as a kid I always thought ambulances were cool, and actually riding in it was cool. I can't say my method of obtaining that ride was worth it, but it was cool none the less.   An Expedition with helmets? Real cute. You must have hurt yourself with that one. After all the miles I have logged while sharing the roadways with idiots and fools, I'd say my driving style is excellent - both smart and defensive.   Friday and I have totally different writing styles. If you read the posts, you will find mine are relatively concise, written with a grain of salt, and generally free from grammatical and spelling errors (no offense, Friday!)   Good luck.

#416 of 472 Mulitple Identities... by john325 Jan 07, 2003 (3:00 pm)
Okay, it's very clear that jacksonman & actionman are the same person. Why would someone, trying to be an honest contributor here Edmunds, maintain 2 (or more?) identities? Perhaps a cool feeling as a kid of being 007.   Anyway jacksonman/actionman, I think the "irony" is your thinking that you're being "pithy" when you're adding your chilhood feelings to describe a serious accident. And I fail to see the wittiness of it as well; maybe that's just me.   And you guys all still sound the same, to me. No offense intended Hopeitsfriday.

Perhaps all three of us is the same person! Since we all sound the same, please dont lose any sleep over that one.
#418 of 472 Thanks by feliz Jan 07, 2003 (5:46 pm)
Thanks for the chuckles. This thread has been one of the most entertaining I've ever followed, please don't stop. I've started coming here every night instead of watching friends. Trouble is.......I still haven't decided on an SUV. MDX or RDV??
#419 of 472 johnny by jacksonman Jan 07, 2003 (5:52 pm)
Yes actionman and jacksonman are both me. I hope that doesn't offend you. It happened actually by accident as I have been using one identity for a long time on one computer, and recently inadvertently established another identity on my work computer. Since I couldn't remember my user name/password combination, I guess I ended up with 2. Not really caring too much about this, I just let each computer log on automatically. To you, I apologize. Not trying to confuse you, although it appears you might be and are looking for someone to blame.   I am no kid anymore, but hell yes being 007 would be cool (if that's what your cryptic message attempted to convey.)   I would agree that most of your issues are directly related to you being you. Don't try to make something out of nothing, please.   Good luck.

"And I fail to see the wittiness of it as well; maybe that's just me."   Nope, not just you. Sarcasm/humor/wit/whatever does not translate well in text unless you know for sure the author's intentions.
#421 of 472 by steve_ HOST Jan 07, 2003 (7:18 pm)
Actionman and Jacksonman - pick one and let us know which you want to be. It's against the rules to have more than one login id (Member Agreement). Thanks! Steve, Host

so, can anyone give me some idea of how the RDV stacks up from a safety perspective?   I am surprised that it is being compared, favorably, to the MDX, since Honda/Acura gets such high praise, usually, and Buicks such...well...not even ANY praise. I guess I need to add the RDV to my list of SRX, XC90 and the Pacifica.   I need seating for more than 5, so that third seat is key. And I have no interest in truck-based vehicles.
