Couple of reasons. The '07 RTX is the exact truck I wanted when I bought the '06 RT a year and a half ago, but wasn’t offered option-wise or color-wise. That and the fact that I think the ‘06 was cursed. It had been hit twice in parking lot bump-and-runs. It was starting to look a little rough. I ended up leasing the new one with a killer deal my uncle helped me out with up at Honda Village. Honda sent me a big ol’ check and my payment dropped quite a bit. Of course, I might have to walk away from it in three years, but who knows what’ll happen by then.
And thanks for the compliment on the X.
