We don’t drive the truck much, when we’re all headed somewhere or when we need to haul stuff around. The Ridgeline is a great truck, rides like a luxury car, but it’s big, tough to park and gets pretty lousy fuel mileage around town. So the Mrs. has her unbelievably efficient Prius C and I have my unbelievably ridiculous Mini Cooper S. The end result is we don’t drive the truck a lot and it just bakes in the sun most days.

We hopped in it last weekend to find the headliner had come unglued. I did some research and learned it was about $850 for the dealer to replace it. I could order a whole new part for about $400. Then I found a local upholstery shop that would do it for $180. And it looks good as new.
