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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Congrats Zero! You do have the BEST color. And remember, the Amazon Greens do have 20 more horsepower than the other

Ridges.

True, but they have to run the plate at Dega.
