I'm the new guy

Hello from South Florida!

I'm a small Honda shareholder but huge fan. I've owned a number of Hondas: a 1997 Acura Integra GS-R, 2000 Acura 3.2 TL, 2002 Acura 3.2 TL Type S and currently own a 2004 Acura TL and a 1992 Honda Civic Si. As you can see, I don't currently own a Ridgeline but I've been following it very closely from the concept stage through manufacturing and sales and am quite sure this will be my next vehicle.

I look forward to participating in your forums!

If you have not yet taken a test drive in a Ridgeline, you are in for a big surprise! Let us know what you think when you do - and what color you ordered!;)
Once again, welcome!

Welcome. Go ahead and buy MotorTrend's Truck of the Year. You won't regret it!


Just be sure to get GREEN. :D :D :D

Wow, you sure know how to make someone feel welcome!

I've not yet driven the Ridgeline (my mom is on her 2nd Pilot though) but I've had occasion to take a thorough interior "test drive" of them on two different occasions while at a dealer. Interior space is really important to me as I'm 6'8" and not all vehicles are a good fit -- even those that are big outside! At any rate, I'm glad to report I felt very comfortable once everything was adjusted. There wasn't much room behind my seat but that doesn't surprise me.

I won't be in the market for a new vehicle for another year or so when my TL lease is up, but the Ridgeline has been at the top of the list for quite some time now! If I had to pick a color today it'd be Steel Blue or Billet Silver, mostly due to their gray interiors. If Nighthawk Black were available with a gray interior, I'd probaby pick that over both silver and blue. It really looks great in any color, though!

I'll be posting in the tech forums as I'm a bit of a Honda nerd and love to share and acquire new knowledge whenever possible. :)

(For what it's worth, I live 10 minutes from Rick Case Honda and will not be buying any more vehicles from them)

Can't go wrong with either Blue or Silver although many of us in this club are pretty passionate about color (in case you haven't noticed:D ). Good luck with your purchase decision. You'll love the Ridgeline!

You could always get out of your lease early:rolleyes: . I got out 9 months early with my 2003 CRV and actually got $2100 in equity which I applied to my RL.:D

I'd lose a few bucks doing that (again) so as much as I want to go get a Ridgeline today, I think it best that I wait even though that is very against my nature. (Plus maybe there will be some new goodies for 2007!)
