My wife went to the ballet and all I got was....


this truck! This is what DH and the boys were doing while Emma and I were at the ballet. Truck shopping.

DH had a 2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4 X 4 with a Hemi, and we LOVED it, until about 13,000 miles were on it and it began to have a stalling problem. 12,000 miles later and countless trips to the Dodge dealerships service department, they still hadn't fixed the problem, and were actually trying off the wall stuff - just to see. So basically since they were just throwing parts at it to see if they stuck, we decided it was time to jump ship.

This is a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Better gas mileage than the Dodge, more room in the interior for the rug rats, and more reliable. I hate to say it, but we have had no luck with the American companies when it comes to their rigs - so now I have 3 Honda's and a Toyota parked in my driveway.
