That's great! Who better to be a spokesperson for the RL! Also a good opportunity to plug the ROC and get more potential buyers to our site! Good Luck JC!

Congratulations!

We'll look forward to the review and they couldn't have picked a better author.

My deduction as well Watson. ;)

Here are the questions they have asked me to comment on.

Two paragraphs of each of the following:

Major likes. Ok..there's a no brainer.
Major dislikes. Well..this list will short.
Other vehicles considered. Oh boy..wait til you guys see THOSE considerations!! :eek:
Price Paid. ( before taxes but including destination )
My name, city and state.

If anyone has suggestions ( In know I just opened a can of worms with that statement ) feel free to email them to me at jccampbell@cdcgraphics.com.

ROC on....:p
( I love that saying..I borrowed it from a few members. :D )

Seriously though, there is no better representative of this group to share our enthusiasm and speak on our behalf in this way.

Thank you in advance for doing what you do best.:)

LadyRidge,

Be sure to mention it is fun to drive.

I'm starting to think that what I like most is that the Ridgeline is fun to drive. Of course I love many other things about my truck but when I get up in the morning I have a spring in my step because I know I get to drive my Ridgeline to work ... and it will be fun! :D

When I was researching this truck to decide if I wanted to buy it I noticed that even the hard core truck enthusiasts who declared the Ridgeline was not a "true truck", and yes, even the hard core off-road enthusiasts who decared it wasn't NOT for hard core off road use, said it was fun to drive.:p

That's great LR... 3000+ posts... thats gotta count for something. Just tell it the way it is. The Good... The Bad... and all its ugliness, which I think is its best attributes.:D

Truckin',

I'm glad to hear it won't wear off even after 7 months.

I've only been driving my Ridgeline for ten days but I've put 2,300 miles on it. At work the team of 5 I work with needs to travel to another building tomorrow and it was suggested that perhaps we take my truck. I said sure, the Ridgeline has been known to seat 5 comfortably. We will see.

I went to the dealership today for a few concerns ( I'll write about it in a bit..it was quite interesting ) and I sat for 3+ hours because I can't bring myself to leave her there alone. Yeah..I'm sick. :rolleyes: Ridgeline-itis!!!

No..I'm sorry..I guess I should have been more clear about the link. I only posted it because it is the magazine that asked me for my review of the RidgeLine. :)

With regards to my truckin 4 co-workers Friday - several of them made nice comments. Things like "Nice rig". The women oohed and ahed more then the men. One passenger just bought a new Toyota Tundra and he didn't say much. We were in a hurry and I didn't show them the magical gate or innovative in bed trunk. Whenever I do that I feel like a car salesman :o

All my passengers climbed in easily and looked comfortable. They all had smiles on their faces. For some reason the Ridgeline does that to people.:D

Congratulations ladyridge. I'm sure whatever you say will do the Ridgeline and the ROC proud.

And to think a certain dealership made a bad decision 8 months ago...

Congrats, JC - you totally deserve this honor! Make sure we all know when it happens. Can't wait to see you in print (wait - all I have to do is read ANY thread to read something you've said - Hey TMac - how about a contest - find a thread with more than 10 posts that DOESN'T contain a post from LadyRidge!?! Does such a thing exist?)

Way to go girl! I know you'll do the ROC proud. And yes, I do know how excited you are. When I opened your thread a mysterious puddle appeared under my monitor!

I'm very happy for you!

.Me and Truckin' are always willing to show "BLUE" to anyone that shows the slightest interest in the RL.:rolleyes: We've even told our dealership to give us a call if they want to show off the best looking RL in Utah.;)
