The truck arguments make me nauseous. Why do the people who insist on arguing about it give a f---?

Personally, I would never buy a front wheel drive truck. I hate the way front wheel drive vehicles handle and the beauty of a traditional pickup is that you can run 2 wheel, rear wheel drive the majority of the time unless you're offload, towing or have some other need to run 4 wheel drive. My F-150 also has an auto 4WD mode that is great to use when the roads are bad because it'll put all of the power to the rear wheels until it starts sensing slipping at which point it feeds the front wheels as well. I believe the all wheel drive version of the Ridgeline does it the opposite way with a bias to the front wheels. But that is just me and my preferences. Honestly I rarely need four wheel drive and I rarely tow a trailer. The average person doesn't ever do it.

I understand busting people's balls over things like this for fun but some people are actually serious when they do it and that is what I'm referring to. I think we should support Honda because they continue to put money into our small little sport. I bought my wife a Honda Odyssey last year to show them some love when our family outgrew her Mini Cooper.

If he does, will it be "I was drunk", or "Someone used my account"?

The only problem with the Ridgeline is that it's not a van.

"A pickup truck is a light duty truck having an enclosed cab and an open cargo area with low sides and tailgate.[1] Once a work tool with few creature comforts, in the 1950s consumers began purchasing pickups for lifestyle reasons and by the 1990s less than 15 percent of owners reported use in work as the pickup truck's primary purpose."

It kinda fits that description to me. I drive a Chevy Silverado, but a Honda is a quality vehicle.

Wow lot of haters on steve huh. I'll be the first to admit he says some ssssstupid shit sometimes and def can be a baby but then I think of the 800 tweets a day that he gets and all the bullshit that he has to hear from people complaining. So i try to understand.
TeamGreen what exactly do you do? You pointed out that you "make some stuff and help some riders". It reminds me of the guy who wants everyone to think he's more important than he actually is. The guy lingering around the cool kids so that other people assume he's cool too. You guys know who I'm talking about. The same guy when you ask him exactly how much he paid for something and he says, " a good amount." Not being a ball buster since I don't know you but steve clearly called you out and you could end the discussion by explaining exactly what you do and who you work with instead of some vague answer.
As far as steves truck. It's a truck. Wtf you want him to call it? A unibody four wheeled motorized automobile.? Grow up
If your think I'm buddies with him. He's got me blocked on twitter for busting his balls about his accent.
