“The Ridgeline is a practical truck in the most impractical segment of buyers in the nation.”

Man, and I wasted 800 words saying this very thing. Well done!

wow that is about as straight forward as it gets for a head man. I swear some people see any post and call it click bait. Next time I will just post a picture. Ridiculous.

There was a general understanding of “if you don’t get it at MSRP today, someone else will tomorrow.” So, I paid MSRP (but I’m also in Los Angeles, where convertible demand is much higher than most of the US). Given the invoice on these cars is something like $1200 below sticker, that speaks to demand being what it is…

Yeah, it’s a matter of finding something that has solvent properties to it. I’ve used paint remover on an occasional grease stain in the past, works great. Too lazy (er...too busy) to do that today.

Brake cleaner does an okay job, too. Just don’t get it in your eye— that stuff stings.

It is at this point that my wife - who is awesome, and kind, and patient, and giving - would murder me.

They’re morons. Like most on this site, they don’t have a clue what things cost, they just bitch and whine that everything in the world can’t be bought with the chance they find in their couch in their mother’s basement or what’s left from their part time McDonald’s paycheck after they pay their cellphone bill. At…

I think it’s pretty obvious that the people complaining have no idea what this car is intended for. The concept of spec racing is completely lost on them. This is not a car intended for the casual weekend racer/autocrosser, or someone looking to build a one off time attack vehicle.

And that’s nowhere near what they spend to actually have it race-ready! I’ve spent time with those Cup guys and they’re in $300k to start.

I am shocked that you could be physically fit enough to be a fighter pilot and still weigh under 136lbs. That is one slim pilot.

Don't forget the largest customer for the F-35 is the export market. Japan, Korea, and India all have a general population smaller than the average American.

If it was -just- this, it wouldn’t be an issue. I don’t think anyone would argue that.

What if you’re only 5 feet tall?

Slim? You’d have to be slim —- and super short, like 5’3. Be kinda funny if you couldn’t see over the canopy.

Women make superior fighter pilots. There may be some that way less than 136 lbs. Just because they’re the outlier, we should just not let them fly the plane? Even if they’re the best choice?

I’m going to call CP on it. For $13,000 I can buy a car isn’t burnt to a crisp...or apparently even a Chevy Spark....which normally I wouldn’t give the time of day to, but if the choice is between burnt wreckage, or a Spark, well suddenly the igniting process namesake looks like a pretty good damn choice.

That scene was very corny.

Ferrari interiors are installed on a moving line also. All custom options are pre-packaged and travel along in a be to box next to the car. If I remember correctly, their system was virtually silent.
