I think you're getting just a wee bit off topic and bordering on an uncomfortable area. We'd like to keep women on the forums, and this is not a good way to ensure that they stay.

What about talking about MT's for 115 pages?

schalliol

Heh, I have no idea what you're talking about. That happens to be on the topic of the thread title, whereas this is just plain offensive and way off topic.

SSN_FT1(SS/DV)

25 year old 2ND Class Fire Control Technician in the Navy. Just got off of my sea duty in Groton, CT on a fast attack submarine. Reporting next week to my shore duty as a LAN administrator for a local shore command in Groton. Married to a hottie graduate of Cornell and proud owner of a Nighthawk Black/Ebony/MT w/o Navi TSX. Wishing I got the Navi though….the hottie didn’t see the need, but I’m a gadget freak and well…you get the picture. Thinking of figuring out a way of installing an Alpine Mobile Media Unit to supplement it. Not really sure how to go about doing it though…ideas welcome.

larchmont

Hey, FT2, welcome! Oh, how I'm disappointed in my esteemed alma mater (C71 here!) -- I'm afraid they didn't teach her enough!

Didn't see the need for the Nav? Hmmmmm.... What we usually hear is that the chix love it.

Well, maybe she had other practical priorities for the $$$$. After all, they're usually right.

SSN_FT1(SS/DV)

She's a very practical lady...no BSing her

Thanks Larchmont for the heads-up regarding SSN's "hottie Cornell graduate." Me too (Cornell, not hottie, that is!) Grad. 1980, biology major, now a lawyer defending docs against med mal suits - yeah I know that sounds a little incongruous. It has in fact been a long and meandering route from there to here, but here is where I am, and I won't bore you all with the winding road that got me here. And, btw, I do very well remember (quite fondly) more than a few "hottie" female Cornellians! I didn't marry any of them, but not for lack of trying! Well, I gotta get that outta my head now and get down to work, making the world safe for screw-up docs!

mrdoug

And, btw, it doesn't surprise me that the Cornell grad saw no need for the navi, despite the fact that she's a XX (female). Those of us who navigated Ithaca and environs for four years tend to have a very good sense of direction!

Hey there. Since we're off topiic anyway. This is no jab at all, but probably the best thing to do when you just want to adjust something you said to include something else, when you just made a post, is to hit the edit button next to the quote button and add it there. Maybe you know this, but since you just joined, I thought I'd let you know.

Add me to the mix, counselor. 30, Herndon, VA, antitrust. RE: my car specs--Red TSK, spoiler, no navi (and I own two "X" chromosomes...), spoiler, body kit, Silver Star rims.

larchmont

Hey y'all, in case you aren't paying close enough attention: That means don't call ricecake "dude."

But don't be surprised, ricecake, if somebody does -- We're smart, but we're stupid.

ricecake

I assumed that everyone here is smart--something you can deduce from TSX ownership.

I also am part of the "I'm stupid" contingent too--as evidenced by my embarassing typo in my original post! :o

larchmont

tsk, tsk, tsk.

Actually I didn't notice anything until you pointed it out. You see, we go for the big picture. (Or, that's the excuse I'm using anyway.)

ClutchPerformer

Hmmm. I spent a summer at Cornell while I was in high school. Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to go to college there .

The TSX proves to be a very "smart" car once again.....

larchmont

Me2 -- I mean about spending the summer there. It was what made me sure that's where I DID want to go to college!

Was that the "AP" program that you were in? I was sort of in that, basically, except our little portion of the program was funded by NSF (Nat'l Sci. Foundation), and so it was free but there was no credit for it :'( But we were with the AP people, hung out with the AP people, and nobody much knew that we weren't. Great, great time.

Spud

Does this thread set a record for this forum?

larchmont

Check out some of the TL threads on here.

ClutchPerformer

Interesting. They call it "summer college" now. I didn't get the credit either. And it wasn't free....but it was a LOT of fun.

I was in the architechture program for about a week, and then decided that it was too artsy for me. Switched to engineering, and it was much better fit. Good experience, though, because I was able to find that out before applying to colleges. In case you're wondering, I ended up going to Columbia.

As a matter of fact I was. My lady's alma mater, sort of. (Two grad degrees.)

bozaman!

ok...i'm late to the party (especially considering that this is my first post) based on the length of this thread, but i'll add my info to the pot:

35, divorced (no kids), information tech project manager

i picked up my milano red tsx (6mt, non-navi, fogs, spoiler, tint, stealth mask, wheel locks, splash guards - i hope i got this lingo all correct!) last week and am even more in love with this car than i was before i brought it home!

TSX 'R' US

24 + 3 weeks old and single (11 more months before I can rent from Avis)
Mechanical Engineer at consulting firm
Northern Illinois University graduate
(NIU football: 23 game losing streak when started college and after graduation, they are currently ranked 16...sheesh)
TSX was gift to myself for graduating and finding a job

schalliol

Curious, is there anything that Avis has to do with the TSX (maybe you're just griping about it, in relation to your age)? Turning 25 in Dec., I've been renting cars for a long time, especially with Enterprise. As for service on my TSX, the first time (accessory install) they gave me an Acura, and then when one more accessory was installed they realized that I wasn't 25 so they got me an Enterprise car. There's nothing to do with age and renting cars, who knows where 25 came from. Being insured is all that matters to them, even though some have other rules about it.

larchmont

I just thought he was making a car-related joke about the "landmark" of turning 25. Anyway, I remember that the first time I ever rented a car, when I was in my early 20's (yeah dudes, ancient history!), I ran into this problem, and I think it was with Hertz. I had to fight with them to get the car, and (somewhat to my surprise) it worked. But they were saying I really had to be 25. I think the only reason my fighting helped was that I kept saying it had been arranged by a travel agent (which it had been) and nobody said anything in advance about my having to be 25.

But since this happened around 1492 it might not have anything to do with anything.

schalliol

Yeah. I just wondered if he was suggesting that he couldn't get a rental car for free from his Acura dealer.Heh, yeah, good stuff. It annoys me that some have that rule, there's no basis on it.

TSXinCA

33 here, call center manager for a non-profit. Partner is 33 also, and keeps stealing my TSX cuz he loves it so much. The gays love this car too!

schalliol

Excellent. I suppose as a call center manager for a non-profit that you are still doing outgoing calls…or are you just taking incoming calls? If you do the outgoing calls, how is this do not call registry affecting your business? I assume it would be somewhat positive because it's less often that people will be getting telemarketing calls.

I'm (finally) a TSX owner at 47. Married, no kids. After a long career doing software development for the same company, I'm in the consulting world now. It means a lot more road travel, mostly with little or no compensation. I got the TSX because it was getting too tiring to drive my 97 Nissan Sentra GLE long distances.

I dont think he means hes telemarketing. I think he means customer service/help desk type calls.
