Yes, because for the majority of ways that Raptor owners will actually use their trucks, the Ridgeline is probably better at all of them except:

*Actual extreme offroading
*Parking hard
So would a civic. You're arguing need vs want in AI?

I came to do exactly this. Sure the honda isnt OMG OFFROADING MERICA BUD LIGHT WOOOOO. But for someone like TT in suburban detroit it will hit every mark he has for a truck and not be some big rear end poo poo stain ford. Also where he lives a raptor will just slide through the snow for 3/4 of the year.

I think last year I was asking all sorts of BMW questions based on this article

http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/02/the-best-bmw-they-never-built/

Because my desk kept getting knocked around whenever I saw it. Then I looked up how much everything would cost to do and holy moly $20k just for the engine lol rip me

Then just imagine with me how annoying the self made electrical problems will be to sort out and you'll see why my dream died along with my will to work on cars that also happen to be my daily

Bill looking like he could not give any less of a gently caress has been the best part of the debate.

Also this RNC guy is arguing that trump was strategically only good in the first 30 or 40 minutes because that's all people care about on the BBC which :lol:

Oh god. Ever watch a Canadian debate for PM? They are basically unwatchable and baffling seem to have even worse moderation each time.

You have 3 chuckle-fucks (4+ if you're really lucky) vying for the top job that continuously talk over each other and you literally can't get a full sentence anyone says after the opening statement. It's 99.9% awful theatre with the exceptionally rare knockout blow... which hasn't happened in a generation. The best and most honest people are the ones that know they don't have a hope in hell winning (Gilles Duceppe I am looking at you).

Dump away, there's a lot of us who understand very well that they are more than just a pet. They are something you have poured years of love and resources for what is in reality no real return that is worth anything.... except to you and your companion. And THAT is worth a lot to both of you.

I *hate* the fact cats and dogs just dont live that long. But I would not swap time with them for anything else.

thanks everyone, not much that can be done though. he'll last a little longer and we'll make him comfortable, maybe take him out too mum and dads bush block for a day but that's about all we can do. he's loving the extra treats though so thats good I guess.

Our little Indy. Was about 6 months old before we had to put him down. Absolutely destroyed us and broke our hearts.


About 6 months later we ended up adopting these 2 jerks, brother and sister. Cooper and Ginger. He's much bigger than the photos make him look - he's pushing 20lbs and it's not so much fat (yeah there is some) - he's just a big loving cat. He's not the swiftest one but she's smarter than hell.

To this day this is their food dish. His head wouldn't fit in it now.



Came from a mix of 4 litters.
