OK whomever gets the first ticket as a result of the "ride in the ridge" and realizing how much more your ridge was capable of, has to report back here.

Hmmm...just my thoughts, but I hope nobody ever answers this thread. :)

Based on history alone, my money is on the original poster. :)
maybe it's best that I no longer own my Ridge :rolleyes: ... though the oh-nines or Oh-tens look good (for those who know what I'm saying:D )

You may be onto something there. Let's hope I can get it down to 10 over or the like. RI has a clean driver law and based on my history I could get it waived. Just pay court fees. Now in my younger days, there is no way I could have used this if it existed.

Now screaming around a corner with someone in the chairs, I would deserve to get locked up. Probably will stay away from this one.

:rolleyes: Does this mean the rumors out on the street about our beloved future generation Ridge becoming a Pilot-o-mino (that shares the front cap) are true? It's all about appeasing the bean counters!

The O-9s and O-10s comment is for a few that I ate dinner with at Sonic on Thursday night at the meet. (Shuey, jforget, ridgeln and my dog-collared EOC friend (sorry, forgot his name, but a cool guy))

And even more scary? Sonic is a dry establishment! We hadn't even started on the adult frosty beverages! "oh-tens" indeed! Wait. Maybe K757 really knows something the rest of us don't.... nah.

What I should do is go to my local dealership, take a test drive of a Ridge and show the salesman what the truck CAN do :eek: :D

that would almost certainly increase his laundry bill a bit!

And the pucker factor may be so high that they'd need to install a new passenger seat... and pull the old one out of his rear...

Yeah - I can imagine this:
Sales weasel: Sir, this is a truck that doesn't handle like a truck.
K757: Really?
SW: Yes, sir. No single axle like those other trucks. Independent suspension, vehicle stability, and many other great engineering things incorporated into this great vehicle. What will it take for you to take delivery today?
K757: Wow. Let's see. So, I wonder how this handles if I: turn off stability control, pop it into 2nd to keep the RPM's up, and now, let's add 1000 lbs of weight that I just "happen" to have handy (in my Accord). Now, how fast does that on-ramp say is the max speed? 25 MPH? Really? I bet this baby will do it at 60!
SW: AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
K757: WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
SW: <pucker!>
K757: SOLD! Can I have a new passenger seat, though?
