In point of fact, the Honda Ridgeline is a ULEV, an "Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle."

So, no.

First, the Ancient Mariner killed an albatross, not a seagull.

Second, when you stare into the Shitbird, remember, the Shitbird stares into you.

All is calm for a week, and then Scylla walks out to his truck, only to find that several members of PETA have taken a dump in it.

Scylla grabs his handy SKS rifle, and waits...

SKS is overkill. Air rifles best for shitting birds. No pissed off neighbors.

What flavor?

It's a bloody sea bird. It doesn't have a bloody flavor.

Actually, yes.

The ULEV rating is comparative, so all it tells us is that a car with that rating is better than average. All cars, whether they have a ULEV rating or not, still put shit into the air.

According to the California Air Resources Board, the 2010 Ridgeline gets a Global Warming Score of 4 and a Smog Score of 5. This is on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is best, and where literally dozens of models get better than 7 on both scores.

Add to that the fact that the Ridgeline, by Honda's own figures, gets a ridiculous 17mpg combined EPA, and it's clear that to claim that this gas-guzzling auto doesn't "shit in his air" is completely idiotic.

But at least it might justify having this lame, MPSIMsy tale in the Pit.
