Have you guys seen that new Ford Raptor?

A few months ago I saw something on the street that caught my eye, a big-ass Ford pickup that looked totally built out from the factory. I checked it out and saw they had come out with the Raptor, and I want one. BAD. REAL BAD.

I'm sure I'm going to see 98lb soccer moms driving those to the grocery store in the spring around here.

That is such an incredible shame. From everything I have read about it and all the vids I've watched, it really is as capable as they made it look. That truck NEEDS to be abused.

Thats way cool. A factory built prerunner. wow.

There's one at the Ford dealer on the corner of my block. I pass it every other day or so. IDK, I think it screams "trying too hard" The Roush 427 'stangs OTOH are pretty wicked....minus the vinyl graphics.

An orange and black Raptor passes me every morning on my way to work. It does look pretty bad ass, but then I'm a sucker for orange and black, and my redneck upbringing really digs tricked out 4x4s.

I remember reading about it in one of the car magazine a few months ago. Their impression was that it is a serious off road bad ass truck. Cool, if you like that kind of thing.

That does look like a lot of fun. The guys around here build some pretty cool stuff too. They usually paint theirs with rattle cans.
