[wannabeH3]

who do u think would have won?? i was doin like 40 down this street, and im lookin on the right hand side of the road for my sisters car where i was sposed to meet her, and i forget to notice the light is red in front of me. the red jeep cherokee just flies out of nowhere crossing in front of me, and hes haulin ass, prolly never thought some retard would run the light haha.. anyways i slammed on the brakes and avoided catastrophy.. it was just right, if he was like just a lil slower i would have owned him.. there was no way i was gonna stop in time. ill try harder next time!!! i did manage to be pretty scared after that.. need to take it easy from now on

If the broadsider has their belts on and have airbags, and the broadsided gets nailed on the side of the vehicle they are in, odds favor the broadsider to walk. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
A hell of a lot more metal and crunch zones to absorb the energy from the collision in the front of the vehicle than on the side of the vehicle.

[H3OwnerDiz]

wannabeH3, you disappoint me. What kind of pathetic jerk are you to actually consider 'who would have won'? I'm sorry you think it was funny, but I don't.

Hi, well I have been lurking for a while and I hate to make this my first post, but I have to respond.

Wannabe please be careful. It is not a joke to t-bone someone at 40 MPH in a nearly 5,000 lb vehicle. What if that was your girlfriend or mother that was going the other way, is it still funny? And if by "won" you mean feeling the guilt for killing someones parent for the rest of your life, and being in court for the next 5 years settling lawsuits, then yes you would have "won."

It's not a race or competition on the streets, we are all trying to get somewhere safely. We all make mistakes when we drive, but to make light of the fact that you nearly killed someone is a bit disturbing. Stay safe out there!

wannabe, I didn't imply that you had any intention of hitting the person, it was clearly a mistake, but it's the fact that you turned it into a joke that caused me to call you a jerk.

Again.... I'm sorry you both think it is funny, but I still don't.

Hihummer, thank you for teaching me a new word today http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif I just didn't feel that this was something to be laughed at, whether it was meant to be sarcastic or not.

The way this was written did not imply sarcasm. It was more of a joke like my big bad Hummer almost owned a crappy little Jeep. The message of this post should have been more about the dangers of driving while being tired than making fun of a very bad situation. I doubt anyone here would have thought I was being funny or sarcastic if I started a thread that said I blew threw a school zone in my Jeep Rubicon at 40 MPH and almost hit a 5 year old crossing the street, who do you think would have won? See my point?

Since Hihummer educated me a little today I will return the favor. Go to http://www.car-accidents.com and look at the pictures, and read their stories. Maybe this will take the humor out of the situation.

I am the new guy, and I don't want to give anyone grief. I just want all of you to be careful out there, so we all make it to tomorrow, so we can post more stories to argue about http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[HIHUMMER]

Shoo, troll, don't bother me. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Oh the troll defense. Is that how everyone who has a different opinion is treated here? It's OK to disagree, that's why there are forums like this. If I came off as attacking you, I apologize, I was only defending my position, and trying to illistrate my point.

HIHummer,

Are we still going offroading the 18th?

[HIHUMMER]

Sure thing. Have you found anywhere to go yet? I'll keep looking. We just check with ALLDUNN to see if he wants to join.

I've been in FL on business and haven't had a chance, but I'll keep looking around--there has got to be something around here. I'll see if I can get a response from ALLDUNN this week.

Sounds good. Keep me posted.

This whole post has been a bit off-color. We are all aware of the tragedy that an accident can cause. I personally have lost a grandfather and a cousin to drunk drivers. Each in separate incidents, years and states apart.

This post isn't about drunk driving so lets not dwell on this and get sidetracked.

I'm willing to bet that WannabeH3 posted this when he was still a bit hopped up on adrenaline after the incident. Sarcasm can be a defense mechanism of this. Am I impressed by his post. Not a bit. Did HiHummer come to his defense after your post? Yes.

As for the Troll label. Well, you've got a few marks that say Troll all over them.

1. Super low post count
2. Initial posts accusatory and inflamatory
3. User Name very Jeep related
4. Jeep references in early posts.

I'm not saying you're a Troll, but frequently if it acts like a Troll, looks like a Troll, and posts like a Troll...

Well you get the idea.

Not a Troll? Cool. Welcome. Just saying its typically best to let a community get to know you first before you jump into the deep waters.

Oh, and before anyone has the idea that I've never jumped in deep, well, here is a post (http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/1726043161/m/6761035141/r/9451085141#9451085141) that I am none too proud of. At least I waited until I had about 20 posts in before I got pissed off.

[HIHUMMER]

Ipedog = my hero.

Mall Rated...sorry if I jumped to soon on the whole "troll" bit. I hope you are not. We have enough of those it seems. I was just feelin a little froggy this morning. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[HummerNewbie]

Damn, leave the offic for a couple of hours and you miss everything http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

[HIHUMMER]

It's okay Newbie...I can handle these clowns. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[mall rated]

Ipedog, thanks for the well thought out and written reply. I was really not trying to make anyone upset, and I was certainly not dissing the vehicle that everyone here loves.
About two years ago, I was in a convertible and a guy in a Ford truck blew a red light, I saw him out of the corner of my eye, and stopped as he whizzed by about one ft. in front of my bumper. He would have killed me for sure. So when I read this post this morning, and it seemed to be taken so lightly, it just set me off.

I can understand your points about trolls, and I am sure you get many here, and they can ruin a board. Do I own a Hummer, no, I do not, but I do like the H3, and this seemed to be a good board to get some good information from so I joined. Who knows I may end up with one someday, I have owned just about everything else already.
I belong to several boards, and clubs, and just enjoy talking about cars and trucks to people and this seemed liked a cool group. I am not a bad guy really you'll see, I'll be around.

Hihummer, hey it's cool. That was a record for me though called troll after only my 2nd post. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I've had quite a first day here. OK I'm done, see you around.

[HIHUMMER]

LOL! Hope we...er...I...didn't scare you off. Please come back. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Ipedog]

Mall Rated -

Thanks for your reply. I don't have my H3 yet but I can see it on the horizon. This is a great forum full of well informed, good people who are typically open minded and fair.

I'll take your word that you're not a Troll. Sometimes people see somthing that really sets them off and can't help but react (For example, my post on the French and dogs). This last post of yours is a step in the right direction.

You're right. You have had quite a first day here. Welcome aboard.

[mall rated]

Ha, no you didn't scare me...yet http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I'll try to prove my non-trollness (made up word) in the next few days. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
