I was reading through a comparo chart for the ilx and they mentioned that the ilx had a heated seatback. lol, I didn't know that. I wonder how many "hidden" features there are in this car that go unnoticed.

pft, I sometimes take a break between tasks at work...its actually helpful and nets better efficiency. Though, my breaks are intermittent and very short.

Don't mean to intrude but while on the subject, what does everybody do for a living? You can really tell who has a real 9-5 by the timing of their posts. Or in JustBlaze's case every couple of minutes...

whats that saying?


Its not what you know; but who you know.

I got in and worked myself up.
I was the company's bitch for a little bit.
"go here" "do this" "bring back this"

some one wasnt working out, and the company asked me if I would like to do the actual geophysical work.

so, now I'm stuck learning about rocks
and doing math.
this work is TEDIOUS! lol

Nice! Care to comment on the ILX advertisement effort? Or any of Acura's commercials: TL (with Megatron), MDX (M. Riviera), RDX (with little people), and Seinfeld ads.

pretty much. their whole marketing strategy seems to be web/digital focused as opposed to home delivery.

well, being that it is a general chat thread, feel free to pick-up on a conversation and insert your two cents. I think it'd be nice to build a sense of community in this sub-forum. Also, these threads lend themselves to opening members up.
