FINALLY bought my Ridgeline...

I finally did it! I bought a Ridgeline. I have been thinking about it (and posting about it) for MONTHS! I ended up picking up a White/Olive RTL with Navi. I got it for $500 over invoice, and they even bought me out of my 2003 Accord EXV6 Coupe for $17600. Overall, an EXCELLENT deal. I only had the choice of white/olive or blue/gray, and although the gray interior is my favorite, the white was more appealing to me than the blue. I also HAD to get the Navi... one, because I think it is cool, two, my 5-year-old son loves the "map". So, I will be trading in a few miles per gallon, but I think the 4 doors, along with the added hauling capability more than make up for it. Now I just need to install my accessories and tint the windows....

Enjoy the ride. I have two little girls and they love being in 'daddy's truck'. They have been trained so well they correct me everytime I refer to the 'truck' as a car.

Congratulations on a wise decision. I traded an '04 Accord EXV6 6sp coupe with nav for my Ridgeline. They gave me $19K for the Accord, blaming a lack of demand for a manual transmission Accord. Funny thing is, the '06 V6 sedan now has a manual trans option available. Somebody must want them!

Congrats on the new truck and as was already mentioned, PICTURES!!

We are such a visual group aren't we, just think of all those forums out there where you can't post pictures. What would we do?
