Congrats! I guess after the mooning -roofing fiasco you didn't think highly of GM alternatives (avalanche or caddy)?
 :ttiwwp:

In all honesty I probably would have went Avalanche but it doesn't fit in the garage with my shop bench and tool chest in front.

Ah, you are doing it wrong.  You also need a larger garage ;).

Congrats on the trucklette

Doubt the sunroof on the Ridgeline (if equipped) will explode, either!!
.....

Let's hope the transmission doesn't pull a sunroof then.   ;)

That's a nice...er...truck....thingy.  Is it going to be red?

If it flies, floats or f#%&s...rent it.

Congratulations!  Ridgeline from the US or Canadian?

Canadian. I have a buddy who is a sales manager who is lining me up. Don't know the exact colour yet, either dark grey or the deep blue. With the small production #'s Honda doesn't have a large surplus inventory. The no-warranty issue with the US models doesn't make iot worth the hassle or potential hassle of sourcing in the US.

US dealer won't sell new to a Canadian. Buyer has to use USA post office box etc to circumvent. Resale value on US model in Canada has a wide spread too, especially during the warranty period..


Polished Metal Metallic it is (Dark Grey). Comes with a off-black interior. The Blue would have been 3 weeks away
