Automobilia etc....

Met up with some Canadian friends at the dragon.

They have access to some very cool stuff as they only have to wait 15 years to import a car.

A eunos Cosmo. This car was Mazda's competitor to the Toyota soarer (Lexus SC). It utilizes a three rotor Wankel engine and twin turbos. It produces 300hp. Equipped with a four speed automatic, leather everything, gps, and tv, it's a car that says excess is not enough.

A Celica GT-4. This machine was an absolute monster in world rally competition. Equipped with a turbocharger and all wheel drive, this car is a homolgation special. A rare car no doubt.

A super clean 2001 RX-7

I wish. If I had $118,000 laying around. That's almost as much as I paid for my house.

hillarious that people would pay that for a POS ford.

How in the blue hell does he get parts?

I know the guy with the evo II tends to buy whole cars, that are only good for parts.

Yeah, none of them are beauty queens. I just appreciate seeing something that is rare, and also highly functional. I constantly refresh www.japaneseclassics.com looking for potential cars. I can't help myself.

I was in the Caribbean last month. I loved seeing alot of the cars we don't get here.

Some of the little Toyota vans are so cool.

And don't get me started in the Ranger and VW Amorak.

Picked up the new Ridgeline on saturday - RTL-E model in black. It's pretty sweet.

I'm a wedding photographer and mostly travel for a living. well, all of my weddings in september are in New England so I just bought an rv. 92 fleetwood bounder class A. It has 80k miles, a 454 and everything works. I paid 1700. We're going to take it for 5 weeks on the road at the end of this month with our 5 and 7 year olds, wish us luck.

Can't beat anything that drives for 1700!

Put a new top, lift, and 31s on my Jeep. Also added a hood blackout stripe and new front brakes. Loving it as my daily driver. Perfect beach vehicle.

The interior is nice, but I can't get over the CRV outside look.

I have to agree, I hate the outside. I like that new Canyon/Colorado more I think.

Well I like it.

So I just saw two different Ridgelines while out driving today and man those things look puny compared to the old ones. I loved the old ones but I really hate the new one.

Haha no offense, Volinbham. I hated it before I knew you got one lol.

 

[YankeeVol]

Well I like it.

That's all that matters man. I love my 14 RL. It's a great little truck.

 

[VolAllen]

I love the old Ridgeline. I just don't get why they made the new one so much smaller.

I love the old Ridgeline. I just don't get why they made the new one so much smaller.

The size is perfect for what I'm looking for. The bed is about the same as the old one. Inside is plenty roomy even in the back.

So much easier to drive and park than a full-size truck. I'm coming from a full-size Sierra 4x4 ex cab and the drivability and parkability is night and day. I'm only giving up a foot of length in the bed and some payload but I never maxed that truck out and likely won't this one.

In return I get the maneuverability, better room and comfort for rear passengers and much better gas mileage (21 vs 14).

Considered full-size double cab but they are just behemoths for daily driving and parking. Colorado and the GMC version are too rough around the edges and Tacoma's just don't work well for me (have had 3 over my life).

Since the new Frontiers and Rangers are nowhere to be seen the Ridgeline was the best choice.

Old Ridgeline vs. New Ridgeline

New Ridgeline has 1. A longer bed 2. slightly more hauling capacity 3. a more powerful engine. 4. better fuel economy

Old Ridgeline has 1. the weird looking buttresses behind the cab

not sure why some of you are hung up on the size difference since the new truck is just as, if not more, capable than the old.
