jerk my cock off, swallow my cum, lick my assho it also offers dido shaped exausts is with the [[Acura MDX]] and [[Honda Odyssey]]. It is powered by a ''J35A91'' 3.5L [[V6]] with a 5-speed [[automatic transmission]] and all wheel drive. The Ridgeline is the first pickup truck with a fully-independent suspension. The Ridgeline is built in Alliston, Ontario, Canada alongside the [[Honda Pilot]] and [[Acura MDX|MDX]].

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Honda Ridgeline Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
It is noted espcially for its use of a unibody frame: unusual in pickup trucks, as well as "car-like" features such as a large "trunk" below the truck bed. The bed is integrated with the body, similar to the [[Chevrolet Avalanche]]. [[Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)|Anti-lock brakes]], stability assist, [[Side Airbags|side airbags]] and [[Side Curtain Airbags|side-curtain airbags]] are standard equipment. In concept, the Ridgeline shares much with such vehicles as the car-based ''[[Chevrolet]] El Camino'', ''[[Ford]] Ranchero'', and the ''[[Subaru]] Baja''. The Ridgeline also has a large rear seat with easy folding operations.

===Gas Mileage===
As seen on the [http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm FuelEconomy.gov] website, the City/Highway MPG averages are as follows:

* ''City'': 15 MPG
* ''Highway'': 20 MPG
* ''Combined'': 17 MPG

===Reliability===
In an online review done by [http://www.autos.com/autos/trucks/fullsize_trucks/reviews Autos.com], the [[Honda]] Ridgeline ranked '''third''' overall amongst popular full-size trucks.

===Safety===
[http://www.autos.com/autos/rankings_safety?cat=trucks&segment=fullsize_trucks&rank=safety&year=0 Autos.com] ranked the Ridgeline '''first''' in "Safety" amongst popular full-size trucks.

A few key safety features on the [[Honda]] Ridgeline:
* [[Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)|Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)]]
* Front [[Side Airbags]] with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)
* LATCH and Child-Seat Tether Anchors
* [[Side Curtain Airbags]] with Rollover Sensor
* Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
* [[Vehicle Stability Control|Vehicle Stability Assist]] (VSA®)

===Colors===
'''Exterior'''
* Aberdeen Green Metallic
* Billet Silver Metallic
* Dark Cherry Pearl
* Formal Black
* Nimbus Gray Metallic
* Steel Blue Metallic
* White

'''Interior'''
* Beige
* Gray
* Olive

===Main Competitors===
* [[Nissan Titan]]
* [[Toyota Tundra]]

==Hybrid Models==
Even though [[Honda]] has experienced a great volume of sale of their [[Hybrid Cars|hybrids]]: the [[Honda Civic Hybrid|Civic Hybrid]], the [[Honda Accord Hybrid|Accord Hybrid]], and the [[Honda Insight|Insight]], they have no plans to create another [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid vehicle]] at this time.

==Unique Attributes==
* There has never been an In-Bed Trunk - until now.

==Resale Values==
When considering the purchase of a new vehicle, it's important to keep in mind what the eventual resale value will be. It is expected that the [[Honda]] Ridgeline will have a high resale value, as it has only been on the market for a year, and carries the [[Honda]] name.

'''2006 [[Honda]] Ridgeline'''
* $27,700 - $33,490
'''2007 [[Honda]] Ridgeline'''
* $27,800 - $34,940

==Criticisms==
* "...the engine lacks the deep torque of a [[V8]] for strong off-the-line pulling." - '''Cars.com'''
* "Stability control and four-wheel [[disc brakes]] with [[Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)|ABS]] are standard, though grippier tires would help both handling and braking." - '''Automobile'''
* "There is no driver-side vanity mirror and no power adjustment to the passenger seat - though for this kind of money there should be." - '''Cars.com'''
* The unibody design makes it harder for mechanics to repair after the vehicle has been in a collision
* Harder to modify. Body lifts cannot be added. Less durable than a body-on-frame designed truck.

==Generations==
===First Generation/Origins (2006–present)===
The Ridgeline was released in March 2005 as a 2006 model. It is currently one of the best selling trucks in the midsize, 4wd, 4door, shortbed segment. It is rated with a 5,000 lb towing capacity and a 1,100 lb bed capacity. It's unibody combined with a ladder frame chassis gives it 2.5 times more bending rigidity and 20 times more torisional rigidity than any other truck in its segment.

==Worldwide==

==Design quirks and oddities==
* The rear seats of the [[Honda]] Ridgeline flip up for more cargo room.

==Awards==
In the short time that the [[Honda]] Ridgeline has been out on the market, it has accumulated numerous titles, glories, awards, and accolades. A few noteworthy ones:
* '''Motor Trend'''s ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006
* '''North American''' ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006
* '''Detroit News''' ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006
* '''Consumer Reports''' ''Top Rated Truck''
* '''J.D. Power & Associates''' 2005 ''APEAL Award'' for the [[Honda]] Ridgeline
* '''Autobytel''' 2006 ''Editors' Choice Award'': Truck of the Year for 2006
* '''Automobile Journalists Association of Canada''' (AJAC) ''Best New Pickup'' for 2006
* '''On Wheels Incorporated''': Ridgeline 2006 ''Urban Wheel Award'' for the ''Urban Truck of the Year''
* Ridgeline wins '''Strategic Vision'''s coveted "''Most Delightful''" compact pickup award.
* ''Best rollover resistance rating'' of any pickup tested by the '''National Highway Traffic Safety Administration''' (NHTSA)
* First-ever 4-door pickup to earn a ''5-star safety rating'' for both front and side impact crash test performance from the U.S. '''National Highway Transportation Safety Administration''' (NHTSA).
* '''Society of Plastic Engineers''' 2005 ''Grand Award'' (composite inbed trunk)
* '''Car And Driver''' rates [[Honda]] Ridgeline ''#1 Pick-up''.
* '''AutoWeek''' ''Editors' Choice Award'' as the ''Most Significant'' new vehicle in the show

It is noted espcially for its use of a unibody frame: unusual in pickup trucks, as well as "car-like" features such as a large "trunk" below the truck bed. The bed is integrated with the body, similar to the [[Chevrolet Avalanche]]. [[Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)|Anti-lock brakes]], stability assist, [[Side Airbags|side airbags]] and [[Side Curtain Airbags|side-curtain airbags]] are standard equipment. In concept, the Ridgeline shares much with such vehicles as the car-based ''[[Chevrolet]] El Camino'', ''[[Ford]] Ranchero'', and the ''[[Subaru]] Baja''. The Ridgeline also has a large rear seat with easy folding operations.

* ''City'': 15 MPG
* ''Highway'': 20 MPG
* ''Combined'': 17 MPG

===Reliability===
In an online review done by [http://www.autos.com/autos/trucks/fullsize_trucks/reviews Autos.com], the [[Honda]] Ridgeline ranked '''third''' overall amongst popular full-size trucks.

===Safety===
[http://www.autos.com/autos/rankings_safety?cat=trucks&segment=fullsize_trucks&rank=safety&year=0 Autos.com] ranked the Ridgeline '''first''' in "Safety" amongst popular full-size trucks.

A few key safety features on the [[Honda]] Ridgeline:
* [[Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)|Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)]]
* Front [[Side Airbags]] with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)
* LATCH and Child-Seat Tether Anchors

==Hybrid Models==
Even though [[Honda]] has experienced a great volume of sale of their [[Hybrid Cars|hybrids]]: the [[Honda Civic Hybrid|Civic Hybrid]], the [[Honda Accord Hybrid|Accord Hybrid]], and the [[Honda Insight|Insight]], they have no plans to create another [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid vehicle]] at this time.

==Unique Attributes==
* There has never been an In-Bed Trunk - until now.

==Resale Values==
When considering the purchase of a new vehicle, it's important to keep in mind what the eventual resale value will be. It is expected that the [[Honda]] Ridgeline will have a high resale value, as it has only been on the market for a year, and carries the [[Honda]] name.

'''2006 [[Honda]] Ridgeline'''
* $27,700 - $33,490
'''2007 [[Honda]] Ridgeline'''
* $27,800 - $34,940

==Criticisms==
* "...the engine lacks the deep torque of a [[V8]] for strong off-the-line pulling." - '''Cars.com'''
* "Stability control and four-wheel [[disc brakes]] with [[Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)|ABS]] are standard, though grippier tires would help both handling and braking." - '''Automobile'''
* "There is no driver-side vanity mirror and no power adjustment to the passenger seat - though for this kind of money there should be." - '''Cars.com'''
* The unibody design makes it harder for mechanics to repair after the vehicle has been in a collision
* Harder to modify. Body lifts cannot be added. Less durable than a body-on-frame designed truck.

==Generations==
===First Generation/Origins (2006–present)===
The Ridgeline was released in March 2005 as a 2006 model. It is currently one of the best selling trucks in the midsize, 4wd, 4door, shortbed segment. It is rated with a 5,000 lb towing capacity and a 1,100 lb bed capacity. It's unibody combined with a ladder frame chassis gives it 2.5 times more bending rigidity and 20 times more torisional rigidity than any other truck in its segment.

==Worldwide==

==Design quirks and oddities==
* The rear seats of the [[Honda]] Ridgeline flip up for more cargo room.

==Awards==
In the short time that the [[Honda]] Ridgeline has been out on the market, it has accumulated numerous titles, glories, awards, and accolades. A few noteworthy ones:
* '''Motor Trend'''s ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006
* '''North American''' ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006
* '''Detroit News''' ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006
* '''Consumer Reports''' ''Top Rated Truck''
* '''J.D. Power & Associates''' 2005 ''APEAL Award'' for the [[Honda]] Ridgeline

* '''Automobile Journalists Association of Canada''' (AJAC) ''Best New Pickup'' for 2006
* '''On Wheels Incorporated''': Ridgeline 2006 ''Urban Wheel Award'' for the ''Urban Truck of the Year''
* Ridgeline wins '''Strategic Vision'''s coveted "''Most Delightful''" compact pickup award.
* ''Best rollover resistance rating'' of any pickup tested by the '''National Highway Traffic Safety Administration''' (NHTSA)
* First-ever 4-door pickup to earn a ''5-star safety rating'' for both front and side impact crash test performance from the U.S. '''National Highway Transportation Safety Administration''' (NHTSA).
* '''Society of Plastic Engineers''' 2005 ''Grand Award'' (composite inbed trunk)

The '''[[Honda]] Ridgeline''' is a pickup truck, sharing its unibody chassis with the [[Acura MDX]] and [[Honda Odyssey]]. It is powered by a ''J35A91'' 3.5L [[V6]] with a 5-speed [[automatic transmission]] and all wheel drive. The Ridgeline is the first pickup truck with a fully-independent suspension. The Ridgeline is built in Alliston, Ontario, Canada alongside the [[Honda Pilot]] and [[Acura MDX|MDX]].

==Hybrid Models==
Even though [[Honda]] has experienced a great volume of sale of their [[Hybrid Cars|hybrids]]: the [[Honda Civic Hybrid|Civic Hybrid]], the [[Honda Accord Hybrid|Accord Hybrid]], and the [[Honda Insight|Insight]], they have no plans to create another [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid vehicle]] at this time.

==Unique Attributes==
* There has never been an In-Bed Trunk - until now.

==Resale Values==
When considering the purchase of a new vehicle, it's important to keep in mind what the eventual resale value will be. It is expected that the [[Honda]] Ridgeline will have a high resale value, as it has only been on the market for a year, and carries the [[Honda]] name.

'''2006 [[Honda]] Ridgeline'''
* $27,700 - $33,490
'''2007 [[Honda]] Ridgeline'''
* $27,800 - $34,940

==Criticisms==
* "...the engine lacks the deep torque of a [[V8]] for strong off-the-line pulling." - '''Cars.com'''
* "Stability control and four-wheel [[disc brakes]] with [[Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)|ABS]] are standard, though grippier tires would help both handling and braking." - '''Automobile'''
* "There is no driver-side vanity mirror and no power adjustment to the passenger seat - though for this kind of money there should be." - '''Cars.com'''
* The unibody design makes it harder for mechanics to repair after the vehicle has been in a collision
* Harder to modify. Body lifts cannot be added. Less durable than a body-on-frame designed truck.

==Generations==
===First Generation/Origins (2006–present)===
The Ridgeline was released in March 2005 as a 2006 model. It is currently one of the best selling trucks in the midsize, 4wd, 4door, shortbed segment. It is rated with a 5,000 lb towing capacity and a 1,100 lb bed capacity. It's unibody combined with a ladder frame chassis gives it 2.5 times more bending rigidity and 20 times more torisional rigidity than any other truck in its segment.

==Worldwide==

==Design quirks and oddities==
* The rear seats of the [[Honda]] Ridgeline flip up for more cargo room.

==Awards==
In the short time that the [[Honda]] Ridgeline has been out on the market, it has accumulated numerous titles, glories, awards, and accolades. A few noteworthy ones:
* '''Motor Trend'''s ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006
* '''North American''' ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006
* '''Detroit News''' ''Truck of the Year'' for 2006

The '''rub my penis, i can feel it tingle, taste good to have sperm drizzle on my face, shoot it down my throat''' is an automobile produced by the British company [[Ascari Cars]] that was conceived by a Dutch billionaire. It is a road-going evolution of the KZ1-R GT race car currently contesting the [[Spanish GT Championship]], with both cars penned by ex-[[Formula One]] designer Paul Brown. It is the third road car produced by the company, after the [[Ascari Ecosse|Ecosse]] and the [[Ascari KZ1|KZ1]], with the name A10 intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the company.

The A10 features a 5.0 L BMW V8 engine producing 625 bhp (466 kW), delivered via a six speed [[sequential manual gearbox]], with a regular H-pattern manual transmission available as an option. The A10 shares the same basic carbon fibre chassis as the KZ1, with all-new bodywork and racing-derived suspension. Despite the addition of an FIA-spec roll cage and the fire-suppression system, the removal of soundproofing and such luxuries as air conditioning and a stereo system contributes to the A10's relatively light weight of 1280 kg (approximately 2800 lb). Ascari claims that the A10 is capable of a top speed of 220 mph (354 km/h) and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration time of 2.8 seconds.

The company plans to hand-assemble 50 A10s at its Banbury, England assembly plant, at a price of approximately £350,000 (US$695,000) each.

On the December 9th 2007 episode of [[Top Gear]], the A10 set the fastest '[[Power Laps (Top Gear)|Power Lap]]' time around the Top Gear test track, posting a time of 1:17.3 - 0.3 seconds faster than the previous fastest car, the [[Koenigsegg CCX]]. Reviewing it during the same episode, Jeremy Clarkson described it as "A staggering car ... like a Koenigsegg but a million times more manageable." Praising the car's handling in his column in the Sunday Times, Clarkson stated "All car makers should be forced, by law, to drive an A10 so they can see what they’re aiming for."

Porsche 911 GT2

Designing a new '''Porsche 911 GT2''' required [[Porsche]] a new approach to old ideas. It meant questioning convention, crossing the limits, thinking beyond the norm. It means not being confined to road or track, straight or bend, comfort or sports performance. It means having the freedom to leave what you know and examine new possibilities. The result: the most powerful road-going [[Porsche 911|911]] ever made.

The source of that power is a 3.6-liter flat-six boxer engine based on the current [[Porsche 911 Turbo|911 Turbo]]. Special features include [[VarioCam Plus]] and twin turbo-chargers with [[Variable Turbine Geometry]] (VTG) enabling faster response at lower engine speeds. Together, they generate even greater power: a mighty 530 hp at 6,500 rpm.

Performance and efficiency have both been improved, mainly through changes to the turbo-charging system. The flow-optimized turbines and compressor units have been specially adapted to the engine output and offer a more effective [[turbocharging]] process. In addition, the new model has an 'expansion' intake manifold - a totally new technology that is radically different to the existing induction principle for turbocharged engines. Another improvement is the higher rate of exhaust flow through the new main silencer - now made from ultra-lightweight titanium.

Rear-wheel drive provides driving dynamics that are similar to those of a racing car. The lightweight build keeps the overall weight low for a power-to-weight ratio of 5.99 lbs/hp.

For some, that number means little on paper -but it all becomes dear on the road. With a driving experience - and an engine sound - that can only be conceived in the Porsche 911 GT2.

Aerodynamics is the study of forces generated on a body in flow. With the new 911 GT2. we've even questioned that: it doesn't have to move to take your breath away.

The most impressive view is also the one that others will see most of all: the rear. The fixed rear wing with integral lip spoiler ensures optimum stability at speed. As the car accelerates and you're pressed into your seat, air is forced through the intake openings on the rear wing uprights and into the engine turbo-charging system. This 'ram air' effect has a key role to play in the exceptional efficiency of the engine. Since air is already being forced into the turbos, there is less resistance from the compressors and therefore less back-wessure in the exhaust, which means greater engine performance.

The engine cover, featuring the GT2 logo, is made from lightweight glass-liber reinforced plastic (GRP). Twin titanium tailpipes are elegantly incorporated within the rear apron design. Warm air is vented from the engine compartment via cooling slits at the rear.

==Current Generation 997: (YYYY–present)==

===Second generation 996 (1999-2005)===

In 1999, the 993-generation 911 was replaced with the new 996 model. It would be two years before a new GT2 model would arrive, but in that time Porsche had decided to abandon the GT2 for motorsports use, instead concentrating on the new naturally-aspirated 911 GT3.

The new GT2 featured a turbo-charged version of the GT3's 3.6L engine. It featured an output of 462 hp (345 kW), which was later increased to 483 hp (360 kW). Like the 993 GT2, its body differed significantly from those of other 996s; major differences included wider fenders, a more aggressively-shaped nose, and a large rear wing.

===First Generation/Origins 993 (1993-1999)===

The 993-generation GT2 was initially built in order to meet homologation requirements for motorsports. The GT2s were developed as Porsche's customer entry in international grand tourer racing, replacing the 964-generation Carrera RSRs. Because the cars were built to meet the GT2 class regulations, the road cars were named accordingly.It featured widened plastic fenders, and a larger rear wing with air scoops in the struts. The 993 GT2's original 3.6 litre engine developed 430 hp (321 kW); in 1998 it was upgraded to 450 hp (336 kW). 57 road cars were built (seven of which were right-hand drive).
