I’m not saying it’s not a good vehicle for what it is (an abnormally large ute). It would probably make a great vehicle for the contractor or driver that doesn’t require high ground clearance, to be perfectly honest.

The Ridgeline is a slow seller because it’s a minivan disguised as a truck. If it had a straight rear axle, leafs, and a pumpkin diff, it wouldn’t be nearly as scorned.

Fuck the haters. This post deserves a gold star.

“These tools are normally found in my residence, and my residence is *a* residence, so...”

Absolutely.

FOX Sports Ohio: “Hitting Yasiel Puig in the batter’s box? Not a great idea.”

Why? Because he’s going to waste a couple minutes doing a fake tough guy routine? If you’re going to charge the mound and hit the guy, then actually charge the fucking mound and actually hit the fucking guy.

Utterly confused as to why a vehicle with only *checks specs* 7.5 inches of ground clearance would need steps.

If you don’t know Shane Co’s locations and hours off the top of your head, you’re either (A) not a local or (B) deaf.

I’d be more impressed if this was filmed at the ute-minivan and bro truck’s natural habitat: The shopping mall.

Nailed it.

Obligatory:

Needs a cab-over IFS version.

“Custom, 20-inch off-road wheels are also included, wearing Nitto Ridge Grapplers. These are tires no doubt made for scaling puny hills such as Everest mall parking lots and I am confident in their abilities.”

He’s not wrong.

These definitely aren’t independently developed, but they also have no real shared infrastructure (outside of the storm drains).

True story: When I’m at the office, I usually end up going out for lunch. To get to the nearest restaurant, a place that fails to season anything but does allow me to do a 30-minute break instead of a 60-minute break, my options are... exit the parking lot to the right, make a right, make a right, wait at a very weird…

I want a longform Ray Ratto article on working with Tom Tolbert.
