"She ain't much to look at, but she sure can cook"

tried to post this in reviews section but wasn't allowed to for some reason.

review is from 'the truth about cars'. found it recently and it is the most entertaining automotive reading I have seen.

Re: "She ain't much to look at, but she sure can cook"

I just read the review, and I could only sit there and laugh. Can this guy mix any more cliches and hack phrases together?

Still, the article is complimentary, regardless of his feelings about the looks of the truck. He must not have taken anyone along with him on his round-the-block test drive, as I notice that his army green Ridge had power seats instead of just one.

The flip-up seat squabs in the back are the cabin's only real disappointment; they're stiffer than a porn star and more tiresome than a Senate filibuster.
It seems like the reviewer was more focused on finding an outrageously offensive metaphor than accurately reviewing the Ridgelines features. The people who have sat in the back of my Ridgeline have said the seats were confortable. Next time I will make a point of asking them "are those squabs stiffer than a porn star and more tiresome than a Senate filibuster?"

When the Dodge Dakota first came out in 1987 I went to test drive it and I had just read a review that said the seats were as comfortable as a "case of hemmorroids". So I asked the lady who was showing me the truck if the seats were comfortable because I had read a review that said they were as comfortable as a case of hemmorroids and she just looked at me with utter disgust on her face. I bought the truck and eventually drove it accross the USA 7 times and never once felt the seats were uncomfortable. That is when I learned that the outrageous review statement is often not accurate.

Re: "She ain't much to look at, but she sure can cook"

The reviewer's butt and back are probably just a little more sensitive than mine as the back seats (While not as comfy as the fronts) are comfortable. I wonder if the back stabbing and the porn work (For extra money) have taken a toll on the poor reviewer?
