Did either of you ask the Honda reps Where's the Beef?... I mean Where's the Ridgelines?

That was the first thing I did....in a very loud voice "WHERES THE RIDGELINES!!!!" Some woman working the Honda display snidely replied. "On dealers lots everywhere." Another rep quickly told me "they" decided to go a different direction this year" and decided not to feature the Ridgeline. I told them if they wanted to start selling them, get corporate to commit to turbo-diesel setup and they wouldn't be able to keep them on the lots.

That caddy was actually at a show sponsored by drop jaw mag that I attended in kentucky last month or the month before I can't really remember, but it is a sweet car and sounds awesome when it fires up. As always you have one of the sharpest ridgelines around so even if you were the only one there you definitely represented the RL's well. Thanks for sharing your sema pics and hopefully ill be there next year with my concept mazda project I'm working on.

I may not have the off road versatility that other Ridgeline owners have, but I do like the uniqueness of my truck.

I believe that pic was a fairlane 500?

I would guess that it is a 1964 Ford Fairlane Sports Coupe if my analysis of the pictures are correct.

The tail lights are definitely are 63-64 looking (but are aftermarket) and the grille is totally custom but the side by side light configuration would narrow it down to the early 60's models.

There is no telling really what year it is because of course it is SEMA and everything has undergone major plastic surgery.

Thats one of the thing i love about your truck, it shows the consumer that just because its 4 wheel drive doesnt mean it has to be lifted and trail ridden every weekend. Instead yours s hows just how low you can go with this 4 wheel drive truck and the endless possibilities that can be achieved with a creative mind. Isnt that what SEMA is all about? Haha sometime if i ever move to the west coast we need to hit shows together showing the "highs" (lifted RL) and "lows" (bagged RL) of ownership . I know we would be all over magazines since we probably have the only 2 trucks to see a magazine.

Kinda reminds me of that cool avatar of yours zero.

I was walking by this candy tangerine Hyundai Genesis Coupe and almost kept walking away when I thought I saw two exhaust pipes exiting the rear bumper and the hatch was open so I walked back to find a V8 from their sedan mounted a mid-ship instead of rear seats! What a sleeper………

I was going to buy the V6 coupe except it has a highly uncomfortable seat. I just had a car like that (Civic Si) and wasn't going to suffer again. I love the Genesis coupe and the price/performance (base V6 $25.5k for 300 hp)

On that V-8, do you think there is a specific reason why they didn't run the exhaust straight out?
