To scared to speed up to get passed that big, scary truck but won’t get out the damn way either!
Not enough power to pull out of the low pressure area under the trailer...

It's like a current 4 door version of a 60's Falcon based Ranchero with awd as an option. I like it but I like no car payments better.
Amen to the no car payments. I have five vehicles, all fully paid for for years. Haven't had a car payment since I paid off my Lightning in May 2013. Fully expect to never have a car payment ever again. PRICELESS!!

I've had plenty of time to analyze while stuck at a crawl behind them, and yes too scared is one of many reasons. The other is no concept of mechanics or physics, they aren't scared driving right next to a giant spinning tire that would kill them if it blew out there. Which leads to the other reason. Complete lack of awareness of surroundings. The eyes glazed over blank stare on the face tells me they don't even realize they are driving. Lastly it's just general bad road manners and no consideration for other drivers. It's usually quite a reflection of their personailty. Ya know for LA being a supposedly hustle and bustle big city, most folks sure drive like they got no where to go, and all day to get there.

Tell me we live in a techno-feudalistic dystopian nightmare without saying we live in a techno-feudalistic dystopian nightmare.

Haha it's an Idiocracy. But the way you put it is much more accurate. I try to ignorance-is-bliss my way through the day and focus on the tasks at hand until I can escape to home safe. Thankfully I have a few regular folk buddies nearby.

Yeah but.....i see about as many ridgelines as i do teslas. Which is about 1 a week maybe lol.
come here to NE indy. I stop counting teslas years ago, I see at least 4 or 5 a day. my coworker just bought one, I have even ridden in one via Uber a few months ago. amazingly, they are quite roomy and comfortable in the back seat. I am 6'1" and had at least 3 or 4 inches of headroom.

The only people who drive Ridgelines are Honda guys who convinced their wives "It's just like your Odessy"
you know... that is probably how I will get my wife to get a Maverick : "Sweetie, it is just like your Escape"

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!

Are they only available in white? I saw 5 of them on my way to work.... everyone of them was white.

Don’t worry, I made up for their efficiency:

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

There it is! Been waiting for that, for too long.
I'll just add a third ticket (for you) to that gofundme. Enjoy spending the rest of your life on Pluto.

people are dumb, there's a decent hill on my way to work in a 55mph zone, going uphill we will do 50 at the bottom and 60 at the top, and on the way down we will do 60 at the top and 50 at the bottom... people will park in the left lane next to a person in the right lane doing 48mph on the flats. In the single lane no passing areas they will do 44mph with their brights on and slow down for oncoming traffic then speed up to 60 in the passing zones... I don't have the luxury of horsepower in the daily driver ('97 2.3L manual trans extended cab Ranger) so I can't just pass randomly in the 1/4 mile passing lanes...
