I’m not a Ridgeline fan, but I have to agree that this would be the smart choice. It hits everything you ask for.

Yep. But they’re needed to help sell Volkswagens.

The bumper height law idea would just become another red/blue state divide.

Yes that is a Model A pickup. (The metal wheel give it away.) 4 cyl with a top speed of roughly 50-55 mph if they’re lucky. The old Model T version topped around 35.

Huh. I thought most of us were so used to it we didn’t give a shit.

Dude,  they’re already paying $70,000-$100,000 for these trucks.  Do you really think they give a damn about a tax?

Good luck to you with all your projects. As someone who’s written and edited a novella, I understand how hard it is to get published. Keep the faith!

No worries. There’s a great way to get around today’s safety regulations on vehicles, buy an older one.

Why would lowering the bedside do that? The Frontier has lower bedsides than the Ranger and it passes. For front overlap crashes the Ranger does fine.

Well I kinda prefer body on frame construction and the Courier is supposed to be Unibody; so halfway?

Last:

I really don’t understand what gets into people sometimes. Obviously they yearn to have your jobs but don’t have the skill, talent, or wherewithal to try it themselves. 

Silly Question: Is it easier for Ralph to get in it with Spanx or without?

Only if it stars the women journalists of Jalopnik (and Alanis King Jones of course) as well as Justin Westbrook as the naive and optimistic mark and Patrick George as the bad guy. (He’d look great with one of those curly, evil mushtaches.)

That’s ok. Lee Iacocca did the same thing back in the 80's when he went to California to trash talk the Japanese models and push Chrysler stuff.

It would never pass the EPA/CAFE ratings
