Three things:

1. Wife and I are moving this weekend, so I need to set up our new home.
2. My daughter is due in 3 weeks, so traveling out of state isn't an option.
3. I'd have a trade-in (My 2016 Acura).

I could probably find one out of state for MSRP, but the logistics of getting it back here in between work, moving, and having a child won't work for me lol.
Ive actually gotten to sit in a Ridgeline Black Edition (Cant say that for a Type R lol) and holy shit, they are niiiiiiiice. Sadly my dealer also had ADM on it for a while. Not sure if it still does. Ill check when I go for an oil change again

I think I am just gonna get a Ridgeline Black Edition and call it a day. More suitable for my family plus I can drop it on a set of Rays and be happy.
I can understand if your going to get a comparable car like a Focus RS, STI, Golf R but a ridgeline is a totally different car. Would you be really be happy with it? If so, that'd be great.

Dealerships around me had ADM on a black edition one also a few weeks back. I am not sure if it does now though.

Mine is 777. Anyone want to pay 50k for it ?
You should literally call Corona and make them that offer. They want $20K over MSRP so it'd be like you're giving them $5K. Win/win

Yea I got to thinking and I miss having a truck. Plus, my family is growing and I want something bigger. I figure down the line I can get a third fun car. I dunno....maybe I am just in dad mode lol

Ain't nothing wrong with being in dad mode lol. I don't have my own family yet but I can see them being more of a priority over a pleasure car once it becomes just not about yourself.

With one kid, you can have a Type-R! Rear facing Recaro fit in my FA5 Si, and it has way smaller backseats than the FK8.

I've had my 2017 Ridgeline for over a year now which is nearing a personal record for me, so it must be pretty good. :) I enjoy darting around in the Civic Si during the week, but when the weekend gets here I transition to the Ridgeline for my shopping and road trips. It's incredibly smooth, quiet, and comfortable - easily one of Honda's must luxurious-riding vehicles whether you consider it a truck or an SUV/minivan in the shape of a truck.

Honda made/makes plenty of Black Edition Ridgelines, but not enough of the RTL-E model so they're occasionally hard to find in a specific color and still command near MSRP even a year later. I initially wanted the Black Edition, but I've owned enough black vehicles to know better. Plus, the only difference between the RTL-E and Black Edition is an extra $1,500 for nothing more than color differences. You don't get anything extra on the Black Edition over the RTL-E aside from different colors for that extra price.

dont even sweat it lol, i consider getting a truck every day instead of the type R if it doesnt pan out in the next 6 months or so, just so i can more comfortably haul my bike to the track

Tell them you're having an auction. Or tell them it's MSRP, but when you start to do paperwork, hit them with the add-ons.
Please record and post to YouTube.
