Here is a pic of my new Amazon Green Ridgeline. I will post more tomorrow when it is daylight. I got home from the dealership late tonight and it is raining. The lighting in my garage isn't so great.
Yes, I was going to get a black truck but things changed. The dealership that I was working with was getting flaky. The arrival date kept moving back with no good explanations. So, I called their competitor in town and they had a green one ready to go. Green was always a very close second to black in my own personal color hierachy.
To say the least, I am very happy with this truck.
Grok Lobster 04-26-2005, 10:03 PM Congrats!!!
Have fun tomorrow! Take the day off from work if you can - that's what I did...
AHart 04-26-2005, 10:08 PM Hey congrats Zero!! We all know you will enjoy your truck.
Octavivs 04-26-2005, 10:54 PM Great Truck! Congratulations, you waited a very long time.
Truckin' 04-26-2005, 11:00 PM How fun to share your excitement. Hope to see more photos tomorrow.
I hope we don't get the shifting dates anymore. Latest is that it will be in on Friday. That will be good as we can enjoy it for the weekend.
1manparty 04-26-2005, 11:08 PM Congrat's zero! I know you've been waiting a long time!
bongus 04-26-2005, 11:22 PM Alright Zero...I look forward to all your comments about your new ride.
vertrkr 04-27-2005, 12:49 AM Think you had the longest wait of all us, hopefully good things will come to you.
delphi7x10 04-27-2005, 01:35 AM Zero,
Your going to love it ;) . The first one I test drove was a Green RTL, the really are very nice, what add ons if any did you get? Can't wait to see your pictures.
Mine goes in in the AM to get the tonneau cover, hitch, running boards, splash guards, and side protectors installed, so I too will have picture to share on Wednesday.
JulesK 04-27-2005, 03:38 AM Tough to be put in the position to have to make that kind of decision. I am glad you got your truck. I can tell you I love my own truck to the point that now I wouldn't care what color it is.
Drive it in good health
Jules
ripncarz 04-27-2005, 04:57 AM Hey Zero, you stold my truck!! I love the green paint with the gold flake it almost changes colors in the sun. I saw one with a gold pinstripe down the side and it added a nice touch & I'm thinking of adding one to mine.
maybearidge 04-27-2005, 06:49 AM Green!!?? What happenend? Green was my close second choice too...Now that I see my black dirty most of he time I almost wish I had got green. I love the olive leather...looks great. Good luck with it.
hagerswami 04-27-2005, 10:04 AM Yes! Glad to see you have your new truck. Sorry you had to switch colors, but I think you'll enjoy this one just as much. Looking forward to more pics. :) :)
More pics will be coming in the next couple of days. I have to work tonight and then I have SWAT team training for 10 hours tomorrow (I volunteer as a Tactical Physician for one of the local SWAT teams). I will post pics on Friday.
The addons I am waiting for are the back-up sensors, back-up camera, roof rack, mud guards, towing package, and running boards. I have absolutely no mechanical expertise to install them myself. I would love to learn but time is not on my side with a 2 year old and a 3 month old.
The more I look at the green the more I really like it.
BannedUser 04-27-2005, 11:16 AM I am soooooooooooooooooo happy for you zero I could just cry!! But I won't instead I will jump for joy and know you feel the way the rest of us do who have ours..."INCREDIBLE". I love the green as well and it was also my second choice. Enjoy the ride Ridgeline Buddy!!!! :D :p ;) :)

BamaRidge 04-27-2005, 04:34 PM Congrats Zero! You do have the BEST color. And remember, the Amazon Greens do have 20 more horsepower than the other :D Ridges.

hagerswami 04-27-2005, 06:06 PM Ladyridge and shovelhd, why do we have green dots after our names. :confused:
BannedUser 04-27-2005, 06:09 PM Means we are online.
BannedUser 04-27-2005, 06:10 PM I still like the idea of a chat room. Maybe we should make our own if it can't be done here. I asked and never got a response. :confused:

Thanks, they don't call me ozone Dave for nothing. :) Been on the net since the eighties and have never been in a chat room. My wife does this, but just haven't.
shovelhd 04-27-2005, 06:37 PM Ladyridge and shovelhd, why do we have green dots after our names. :confused:
Means we all wish we had an Amazon Green Ridgeline like Zero!!! :)
shovelhd 04-27-2005, 06:38 PM WHAT???? ME???? SICK???? Just cuz I'm as bad you???? :cool:
I could never keep up with you. No Mas. ;)
BannedUser 04-27-2005, 06:39 PM Ok ozone... :) I'm going to research this chat room thing and get back to you. Maybe I can get more women to come on and talk about the Ridgeline with me if we are in a chat room. :D
Truckin' 04-27-2005, 09:29 PM Think you had the longest wait of all us, hopefully good things will come to you.
Is this true? How long was your wait, Zero?
It feels like we've been waiting FOREVER. It's worse than being a kid waiting for Christmas or summer vacation.
I put a deposit down on Feb 4th. If I didn't go to another dealership I would still be waiting.
I'll see what I can do about a SWAT team photo. I'm not sure what training activities are planned for this afternoon.
BannedUser 04-28-2005, 07:15 AM I could never keep up with you. No Mas. ;)
Well..a man who knows his place. :D I like that!! Your wife should be a very happy woman :D!!
Here are some pics finally.
I even managed to get him dirty yesterday!
shovelhd 04-29-2005, 06:07 PM Niiiiiieeeeeece!!!!!
AHart 04-29-2005, 10:26 PM Nice pics...thanks for sharing.
BannedUser 04-30-2005, 07:23 AM NICE!!!! TRUCK!!! zero!! :D
Tiger 04-30-2005, 09:28 AM Zero I know the wait will be worth it. Good luck with your Ridgeline and we will be looking for some more great post from you.

clayman 04-30-2005, 01:47 PM Zero - good luck with your machine. Nice pictures! You may want to consider :) adding the rear splash guards.
Here are some pictures of the accessories that I had installed. They are kind of poor because I took them in my garage after bringing the truck home.
3 More pictures.
The button in the last picture is the back-up sensor on/off switch.
Truckin' 05-06-2005, 11:10 PM Zero, we're getting many of the same accessories you got. How long was your truck at the dealer getting them installed? We have to part with our beauty on Wed. and haven't been given a time to pick her back up. I know the back up camera is the BIGGIE to install. I sure hope we can get it back Th or Friday. I can't imagine they'll need three days, but I expect it will take two.
I dropped the truck off on a Tuesday evening and picked it up on Thursday evening so 2 days.
