Nice times, but what the hell is that crappy Honda Ridgeline doing pulling your car?
Honda... crappy? :eek7: Honda, Acura, Lexus and Toyota are some of the most reliable cars in the industry. When it comes to new sedans, hell, even small sporty cars and trucks, I'd probably go with a Honda product. The S2000 is a hot sports car. I'm really happy with my Acura TL as well. :dunno:

As far as older cars go, I like a lot of things. But I think American cars were king back then. Not so much anymore.

Yea, I know, seems traitorous....But I pull my junk around with a Toyota Tachoma, here's why.....

Not at all.  The Tacoma is a darn fine truck.  The Ridgeline, however, is worst in class in everything that counts.  Payload, power, bedsize, it's the worst truck on the market.  The only thing it's good at is gas milage and ride comfort.  It's nothing more than a glorified SUV.  If I wanted a truck, I'd go Toyota, DEFINATLY not Honda's cheap ripoff of the Avalanche.

Ghost, it's his money, his vehicle and most importantly his choice.......let it go.  ::)
With what he has sitting on the back of that truck most people wouldn't give the Honda a second look.  :bananasmi

We are talking about the Honda Ridgeline, are we not?  The same truck that has been thouroughly rejected by truck enthusiasts everywhere?  The same truck with the tiny bed, and no fullsize bed available?  The one with cheap plastic looking parts everywhere?  The one with no V8 available?  I generally don't have anything against Hondas, but, this "truck", so called, is totally undeserving of the "truck of the year" honor.  Then again, Motortrend IS the magazine that criticized the Dodge Ram for, and I quote, "riding too much like a truck".

Ghost...I'd have to agree with NZ on this one.  Let's focus on what he's pulling...not what he's pulling it with.
