You are right about that !! I bought this boat from Long Island Marina. You would think the land is gold now...expensive as all get out and yes getting way over populated.

The wife and I just closed on a couple of acres yesterday closer to the mountains on a small lake (Rhodhiss). It sits between Lake James and Lake Hickory and they aren't nearly as populated as Norman. Luckily Norman is large and I know it well enough to get away from people when I want to.

03. It's having problems, I absolutely abuse it and it's all caught up with it. Looking at an 05+ Titan or 09+ Ram. Very versatile truck, does the work of a much larger truck without needing the giant parking spaces.

Sitting on a fork lift ? If anything that should show that it must NOT be that big...right ?

Judging by some of the comments in this thread...some may have thought it was bigger/more expensive than it actually is.

It's a decent boat/toy for the $$ and we really enjoy it but it's sure no Cigarette boat for sure.

How do you like that? How's it on gas?

I really liked them when they came out and tried to encourage my FIL to get one....but he heard they were worse on gas than a full size chevy

The Ridgeline's fuel economy is not so great but neither is my Liberty's...about 17 mpg combined I believe.

The Ridgeline 4x4 is another vehicle I considered when I bought my Liberty. I checked out another forum members Ridgeline and overall liked it pretty much. It has some cool features I liked...plus the fact that it's a Honda.

Currently im driving an '06 Impala. Looking to trade that for an older 4x4 truck, and since im finally going back to work in 2 weeks, im planning on selling the bike and buying a 4 wheeled coffin. '96-'99 vipers (Both the GTS and RT10) are going for around 25k (+-3k) (cdn), with very low mileage up here, and I want one, bad.

4 wheeled coffin ...I guess with that much power/torque and no traction control...that makes sense. The GTS and RT10's are some badazz rides.

The only Viper I've driven was an SRT10 and had a blast. It stuck like glue too. The only thing I didn't like was the interior heat...hot as fvck inside the car BUT being up in Canada that won't be as big of an issue anyways.

I swung by a local car get together a few weekends ago and this thread reminded me of a few Vipers that were there...

Crap...just realized I screwed the first pic up bigtime...oh well...
