Yeah but, I dont see a significant savings happening there. The Explorer sport trac is 13/19! I got the impression there was a truck out there with room for 5, the same size, that got 30mpg and was just as reliable? Thought I was missing something after everyone complained about the mileage. Done deal anyway. Love it!

That's a Ridgeline.

This is an RL:



Btw, it's also stupid to call the Z06 a Z, because that name has belonged to the Nissan Z for decades; the Mazda 3 an M3; etc. Abbreviation is fine, but once it infringes on another with the exact name, that abbreviation user should be killed.

"Hey, I just bought a Honda RL today."

"You mean an Acura?"

"No, I'm pretty sure it's a Honda because it has an H emblem on it."

"Maybe they changed the emblem, because it should be an A emblem, even though Acura is really Honda."

"I just bought it brand new from a dealership, why would they have changed the emblems?"

"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure only Acura has the RL."

"Dude, I'm sure it's a Honda."

"It may be produced by Honda, but it bears the Acura brand."

"No, mine bears the Honda brand."

"Man, you're on crack. Let's go to your house and have a look."

Upon arriving, "Dude, that's a Ridgeline, NOT an RL!"

"But I thought the Ridgeline can be called an RL too?"

"No, you dumbass! RL is the name for another vehicle. Stop mixing up the two! Do you want me to call you Obama when your name is Bush?"

"Oh, sorry, didn't know. Yeah, I don't want to mix up the names of 2 entirely different vehicles."

"Thank you!"

good looking RL!

"Hey, I just bought a brand new Z today."

"Awesome! How much?"

"$70K!"

"What?!!! Are you a ****tard? Why did you pay twice the MSRP price for a Z?"

"No, you're the ****tard. The Z's MSRP is $72K."

Blah blah blah....rah rah rah...gaga oh la la...want your bad romance...

"Oh, that's a Z06, you dumb crackhead! I thought you were talking about a Nissan Z, since that car has borne that name for decades."

"I'm a Ku Klux, why did you think I'd drive that Jap shit? I want to kill all them Japs and chinks."

"I don't know, I was surprised too, but you called it a Z and that's the only car that bears that name for many years."

"Take it back or I'll blow your phocking brains out! And if you ever accuse me of driving a Jap shit again, you'll answer to the Klan master."

"Ok, I'm sorry. Put down your gun!"

"That's what I thought, you Chink-loving, Nig-defending POS."

"Ok, you've crossed the line. Take it back now or I'll blow your phocking brains out! I'm in the same Klan as you, you phocking Jap-car driving moron."

Guns pointing at each other...

"I'll give you 3 seconds to apologize. 3...2...1..."

Bang bang bang...Two bodies collapsed to the floor, as brains and blood exploded everywhere...

End of play.

Moral of the story? Two Klansmen killed each other over the mix-up of 2 cars, when it could have easily been avoided by saying the car's real name.




Oh, the story above is not of these Klansmen:



But these ones (they died on December 26, 2008). The above play is based on a true story. The one in black was the Z06 buyer.

I'm a big fan of the Weathertech floor mats for the RL- Really great for snow, salt, rain, mud, etc-

I drove 180 miles in Houston traffic last Saturday in my Chevy 2500HD Crewcab diesel. I got 18.2 mpg in that monster. It's as fast as the Ridgeline and can carry much more. It's also too damned big to park, rides and drives like the heavy duty truck it is and I'd rather drive it with a 30 foot gooseneck hooked to it on the highway than empty. If I didn't really need a heavy duty truck like this I'd buy a Ridgeline in a heartbeat. I may get the same mpg's in my big truck but but it's not nearly as nice to drive on a daily basis.

I think you made a great choice.

I used to have one in 06 and absolutely loved it. Handled great for a truck and was very comfortable in both the front and rear seats. The in-bed trunk was freaking amazing and I used it constantly. If it was not for the gas millage I would have held onto it a lot longer.

Great looking, RL, hkspwrche!

Congrats on the new RL, great choice!

If you're interested, the RTX grill is an easy bolt-on, and is a lot better looking IMO.
