I am taking delivery of my RTL (Steel Blue) w/ tonneau and XM on Friday. This site has proven to be invaluable throughout the purchase process. I can't wait to get my hands on it! The enthusiasm that you guys have is infectious! I'll be buying the Honda Care from the dealer on this site:D as the dealer (Honda of Ithaca - NY) where I am purchasing the truck from wants $1,350 for it. The dealer has been great otherwise. With your help I was able to do most of the leg work over the phone and by email.

Thanks!

Welcome to the ROC hankeepank, great choice on the color of your 'NEW' ride;)

Welcome to the ROC family and glad to be of help.
Didn't they have any SLIVER..err..I mean Silver on the lot!!?? ( Darn that RedRockRT ) Geez..I'll have to call them and give them a piece of my mind.
;)

Enjoy the ride!!

Yes they did have silver, but I am trading in my silver VW Passat. I needed a new color for my new ride!

Ithaca? Nice! I grew up in Vestal, NY and have been to Ithaca many times. Do you have to go up and down "the hill" to Ithaca college? Man that road is a piece of work. Not like the road to Cornell is that much better. You'll get plenty of opportunity to use the 4wd!

From what I remember, Honda of Ithaca looked like a nice place, a bit small, but nice...near the bottom of buttermilk falls(?).

I miss the winery tours... oh well, I like Florida much better (sans the hurricanes of course):D

LR, I hear that silver just doesn't sell that well in that part of the country! LOL:rolleyes:

Congrats Hank on your new truck and selecting a very nice color!! Be sure to post pics!!

I know the area very well and you're right about that hill. I am actually in Skaneateles (pronounced 'skinny at lis' its a Native American name) which is one of the Fingerlakes. I am about 1 hour away from Ithaca - but they gave me the best deal.

Hi hankeepank, WELCOME TO THE ROC! You are going to just love driving your truck when you take delivery. Enjoy the ride!

Born 11/05? Oh well. Here she is...

The enthusiasm that you guys have is infectious!
Thanks!

It's beautiful Hankeepank! The Blue was my second choice if my dealer couldn't find me a Green one. Oh, and I'm glad to see you caught the bug too!:)

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful and I really like blue. Told the dealer last Feb 05, whichever comes in first, I'll take. It was the red one, oh well, I like it now as much as the blue.:)

Welcome and congradulations on the Ridge. It just goes to show that New Yorkers have great taste in colors.
