I agree. I had a brown one for almost 8 years - I liked it despite the rattling heat shields (removed in year 4), constant oil smell (head gaskets seeping onto the exhaust), and exhaust leak that made it sound like a tractor at idle. It sounds bad when I put it like that, but it shouldn’t.

Dude, I took my kids - 4 & 6 at the time - to see that movie and the end scene floored me. I thought they were robbed by not even being nominated for “best animated feature” while How to Train Your Dragon 2 was and also that Big Hero 6 ended up taking the award. As interesting as BH6 was, I thought that Boxtrolls was…

Is it satisfying because he has actual metal under the paint, not rust held together by the paint itself?

Forget the manual as it’s probably never going to happen - my big question is when will this make it to the Outback?

The bulbous rear end has grown on me, too.

From the few listings on cars.com in my area, it seems you can get a low mileage OG NSX for $60-80k. Given the silly prices contemporary Supras have gone for, I’d consider that a good deal - I’d easily take the NSX over the Supra if I had the money.

So it wouldn’t look like they’re totally copying the Ridgeline.

That’s what bothers me - there’s no reason he’d try to screw someone over for this amount of money. If he bought it and found out it was a fake, wouldn’t it be easier for him to just crush it and move on? I doubt the fake angle, too - do you think he trolls Craigslist for an amazing deal on a rare Porsche?

Which means that the only people who still want a manual want it for a bit more intangible reasons - sort of like people who still listen to vinyl records

I haven’t like red for the Accord for the last few generations - coupe or sedan - but I have to admit the current ones look pretty good in red.

And the Si only comes in manual with low profile tires - both can be seen as negatives to different people.

If it’s anything like my area, 3rd gen Odysseys (2005-10) and 1st gen Pilots (2003-08) are still going strong. A coworker recently spotted a low mileage ‘06 Pilot that appeared on a dealer’s lot and went to check it out that night and it was already gone - they had it for one day!

If you plan on deducting HELOC interest to pay for a car after 2018, think again!

My daughter wants my “shick stift” Accord coupe when she starts driving - but first she needs me to “paint it purple and put a big wing on the back”... I’m actually considering it.

No, the Pilot is for the minivan deniers - this is for whoever buy a Nissan Murano or Ford Edge (i.e. they can spend more and want V6, but do not want a third row).

What if you want AWD for handling or performance reasons? Why does this conversation always revolve around snow tires instead of recognizing that AWD can be desirable for other reasons?

I want to hate that color scheme, but I can’t. I’ll nitpick: the tan border should have more orange to it.

Yeah, I have the 2nd gen Ridgeline and I love it - it covers my needs (normal homeowner/family stuff like hauling yard waste, towing a small pop-up, etc.), is very comfortable, and it fits in my garage. I’m not towing a small house, nor am I crawling up the side of a mountain - it’s the wrong vehicle for those jobs…

Apart from the otherwise interesting design of the car - a little cool, a little awkward like we all were in high school - the requisite Bugatti grille completely ruins it for me.

I assumed that he used his balls to drive the car, not his hands.
