I was out running errands today in town and this amazing truck with a girl driving pulled in next to me so, ummm, YEA I did the obvious next thing!! :cool:

It was overcast with freezing rain so the pics are not the best plus they were taken with my cell phone.

The Ranger would mop the floor with that Raptor....just sayin.

I don't like new trucks...they aren't built to take as much anymore. Not to mention that, when they're new, you don't want to beat on them for fear of breaking them.

I'll buy a Raptor 10 years from now when you'll be able to get them for $3000. THEN I will beat the snot out of it :D

I do love the new Raptor... they have a really nice presence about them.

Aside from being pretty good sized (they make my '02 F-150 look small, and it ain't small) they are a pretty good offroader. The 6.2 sounds tougher than tough too.

so where's the pics of the girl?
I didn't want to be rude so I waited till she went in the tanning place, she looked to be about 24 or 25 years old, nice and thick, corn fed kansas cowgirl, very pretty.

Regardless, your Ranger looks mighty fine. To another poing - "I like big corn-fed mid-western ho's" - Kid Rock

Did you miss the part about the Raptor being based on the truck that won the Baja 1000 or some bullshyte, and has a bunch of heavy-duty upgrades from the normal f150... Plus the 500hp engine.
