So, four dudes go out to party, but only three can get drunk...

Livin’ on Tesla time...

We forgot the "Wraith", although it wasn't a very popular movie, and the ghost car was only bad news for the bad guy.

You forgot

Nope!  I was just clarifying the situation for those who know little about the Ridgeline. 😀 

Props are contra-rotating, so that’s good. This concept has been used in boating for decades (see Yamaha TRP, or Volvo Bravo Drive). In aquatic situations, the trailing propeller is usually smaller diameter.

Agreed. I’ve always though the Si made a lot more sense for most enthusiasts. The R is a halo car for those who either like to track their car or just want a collector car.

It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast, than to drive a fast car slow.

Actually, the Ridgeline shares a platform with the MDX, not the Accord (which is quite a bit different). However, the driving amd handling is much more like an Accord than a BoF truck, so that is a VERY good thing.

In many (most?) states, dealers are not required to disclose any damage to new vehicles prior to their sale.  There is often delivery damage to vehicles, including hail damage, that is repaired by the dealer and never disclosed to the buyer.

Speaking of dealer markups, I recently saw (posted online) a loaded Maverick for $49,999! To make matters more hilarious, at the same time, you can get a Ridgeline, which is twice the truck the Maverick is, for $1000 below MSRP, which puts you under $44k for the loaded Honda.

I have to drive 45 minutes just to board the nearest Greyhound (which is actually a Jefferson line contracted out to Greyhound). My brother would have to travel two hours to catch the same bus, which is an hour closer then the next bus stop.

Sports cars make the best winter driving cars, as long as the snow doesn’t get over, say, five inches deep. The balance and handling, and especially low center of gravity, make sports cars great at maintaining direction when conditions get dicey. With proper winter tires, they will outdrive any AWD or 4wd equipped

What is this.... like Ford’s 59th recall this year?

I’ll go with the Ridgeline. Too many people think it’s a wimpy truck, when in reality it has a payload and bed capacity near the top of its class. Moreover, the bed is actually usable - I can easily reach over the side to get things, open the tailgate sideways to load/unload heavy objects without wrenching my back,

I can’t find the info offhand, but read about it in one of the MoPar rags from the ‘90s.

Straight Six beats V6 all day, every day.

I'm interested in this engine, also.  If they can come anywhere close to the legendary Slant Six durability, the Hurricane will be a worthy contender.  Rumor is that this will be the primary powerplant for mid-size to large platforms for Stellantis moving forward.  There will be various states of tune (various single

I second this. Chrysler got a lot of flack for unreliable cars in the 70s, but the Slant Six was one of the most durable and reliable engines made. These engines have been used in a myriad of applications. I believe they even experimented with a diesel version of the engine without modifying the block.... that is

Agreed. Would have been nice to see it in one shot, at normal speed, instead of all the little video shorts and slow motion clips mixed in. Sometimes just plain ol’ normal camera work, by a skilled camera operator, is much more exciting, telling and emotion-wrenching, as opposed to some rookie trying to develop and
