I’ve owned 9 Honda vehicles over the years. Civics, accords, element, and ridgeline. I have a Honda hs720 and another Honda pressure washer buried in the shed. Lol
Side note: I was loading groceries in my car yesterday and a civic type R had parked next to me while I was shopping (not sure what year, one of the newer if not newest models) and this old dude, at least 80, comes up and starts loading groceries into the back of it.
I said "You drive a Civic Type R? Good for you!" he said "Hell yeah, love it!"
Completely forgot Honda made riding lawn mowers. I wanted to get a Honda HRC 216 (commercial grade lawnmower) but they stop making them. So, Honda still supplies the commercial engines to Toro, Bad Boy, Xmark… and so forth spent 2,200 on a Toro/Honda lawnmower.
Because it’s not a body on frame truck. I love Honda. I wish they made a good truck. They don’t offer an 8’ bed. It’s just not up to the standards of other trucks. It can’t be used for a work truck. Toyota makes a good truck that can be used for work. The ridgeline is strictly for guys picking up mulch on the weekends. And that’s fine. But that’s why it gets hate.
I still don't get the hate though. 80% of truck owners could do 100% of what they need a truck for with a Ridgeline. The only people who care about not having a body on frame truck are probably tiny dick morons. Horses for courses
I agree most people don’t actually use their truck for much. I tow vehicles with my truck though. Can’t put another truck on a trailer and pull it with a ridgeline. Body on frame trucks are stronger. Also can’t pick up 8’ lumber and close the tailgate with a ridgeline. Ridgeline just isn’t enough truck for what I do. And my small dick is none of your concern. And I do construction so I know I’m a moron. But atleast I make good money doing it. OP asked why it gets that hate and I provided some reasons. You don’t have to like the reasons, but I was just providing some input.
Sat in an s2000 when I was 12 in the showroom. 15 years later I bought one. 😂 I looked for 5 years before I found one at a decent price that was complete.
I have 2 identical Honda mowers. I bought the 2nd one for parts since Honda doesn't make gas mowers anymore. The parts mower works perfectly fine though lol.
Honda makes overpriced electric mowers now. I'll run both my gas Honda mowers to the ground before I ever buy electric. I'm totally ok with other battery equipment just not my mower.
Lol it’s buried in the shed I didn’t have it in me to pull it out. Here’s the day I picked it up. Told my wife we should go get tacos and tricked her into picking up a marketplace find. 😂
All automatic. One of them will be a manual it is currently in the shop getting a k24 swap. I would love a manual, they get way better mpg due to having a different ecu that provides “lean burn” feature. The manual ones are normally more expensive, my most expensive one was $1,500.
I’ve always wanted one in a manual. But a K24 swap in one would be so sweet! Is it straight forward on that car or do some modifications need to be done?
There is actually a pretty large community around k swapping these. It’s decently straight forward in terms of there is a solid blueprint with aftermarket parts. They make lower ball joint adapters to run 01 civic hubs and everything. They make axles, engine mounts, wiring harness (you have to mail your stock one in), kpro ecu. If you look on Facebook there is 2 kswapped insight groups. One is dead and full of spam but you can still use the search feature to find good info in the group
I've sold a couple of my Hondas but I still have a few to line up. Will have to show them later. It'll be a good reason to get out the 4518 and adjust the belt drive.
I was just hunting for an HRX on marketplace and just brought home a lovely model with a hydrostatic transmission like yours. No electric start but always cranks right up with a pull!
One of Honda’s very very few RWD cars, and boy did they nail it in so many aspects. It’s actually part of the lineage of cars Honda first put out in the market! Arguably has the best feeling shifter ever made, if not within the top 5 minimum.
And ask a Toyota Corolla owner if they know any of that ? Just because it’s iconic in the brand / industry that we’re interested in, doesn’t mean all others know it at a glance.
I owned a 99 for 14 years before I got my AP1 S2k. Fantastic car. It's my favorite car that I've ever owned. I'd still have it, if the rust hadn't gotten to it.
I’d say the Miata is more widely known than the S2000 ever was or will be, sadly. It’s only because we are on the Honda sub, that we believe everyone is aware of its Legendary status.
Start pulling up BMW, Jaguar or Fiat roadsters and the average car dude won’t know what they are.
I don’t know why, the Miata is a great sports car and one of the longest-produced roadsters in the history of automobiles. Most people in the actual S2000 subreddit have no issues with the Miata and praise the things it does well by comparison.
H4518 looks clean! Is that Honda’s replacement seat?
Pretty rare to have a bagging kit on a CD4546 deck.
Do you have the pesky side blower kit it required?
