if you guys only knew what i did to buy this... oh the humanity.. it was still hard to let go of one of my prized possesions...

 

That's absafreakinlutely beautiful. Even though I'm not a ford person, I love those trucks. That color looks really good on it.

What engine are they running in the raptors. I wish they came in a diesel, I'd be all over one.

Looks great.

That's gorgeous and I'm not even into trucks.

Raptors are supposed to be off-road monsters. IIRC, Top Gear (USA) didn't have particularly good reviews as far as driving on asphalt. YMMV.

 

you know how somtimes your just bored.. and you do things without thinking..
well i was at toys r us with my son.. and this guy pulls up next to me in a black raptor.. i was like dam.. thats a nice looking truck... and thats when it started..
i thought about it for 6 months before i actually bought it.. i still question my sanity... i traded in my 03 escalde ext..( which was fine) but i sold my bmw ALPINA B7.. my wife is not happy.. and some days i hate myself as well.. but.. my wife sends me this clip with whitney houston(a video of the car) (i will always love you) as im signing the deal.. at first it was really funny... but now it brings a tear to me eye...(and not because of whitney).. hope the clip comes through.. it is funny.. it wont upload..
well heres the car i traded in anyways..

 

go to motortrend and see the raptor link...
they call it the gt3 of trucks... its a baja truck right out of the box..
when im feeling down and out.. i watch the video.. lol... and look at the map for some off roading.. in my area...
but im not a redneck...by any means.. well harleys trucks and porsches.... i do got a little county in me...from time to time.. my favorite station is OUTLAW COUNTRY on sirrus..

 

Darn shame that it won't upload. Sounds (the scenario) though I understand your hurt... Ever seen youtube videos of Christian the lion? There are many iterations but one vid in particular has the same exact song that's looped well as Christian and former owners reunite....... PRICELESS.

SK, mind if I ask how old you are? Getting various vibes from your previous posts (here and another site)... e.g. looking for a house in another state due to heat & humidity suggests that you may be near retirement... or not. Just curious, that's all.

 

vet i just put 2 n 2 together.. i grew up in west chester.. just entered my 40s.. never thought id make it this far... and theres no gaurantee's how much longer ill last.. lol
