So much this. My wife is vegetarian, and doesn’t like fake meat products, because it is too much like meat. She isn’t a vegetarian for the sake of the animals, per se. Or rather her decision wasn’t based solely on animal welfare, etc., but rather a distaste for meat products.

That is one of those, “depends on how you float your boat” sort of issues.. While it is technically the second gen, it was the first generation body style, with the second coming about in 2003.

OH MY GOD, I WANT IT SO BAD! HOW DO I MAKE IT MINE?!

“Secure compartment for things that need securing.”

Yeah, well said, Mr. Tracy. I am mostly a non-’truck guy’, but I have considered one of the first generation Ridgelines before, and will strongly consider this new one now.

You get out of here with your sensible suggestions! :)

I would watch.

I guess if you can afford to be an idiot?
