New Raptor at Home

Just got my Flame Blue Raptor this week. Took it to a Car show along with my 07 Mustang.
Nothing for my Mustang but 2nd place for the Raptor.

Great truck. Congrats.

Did you get a chance to take it off-road?

Cool! I really, really wanted one, but waiting to see if the hurricane is available next year. After having a 2004 F150 with the 5.4, I just won't do it again.

How do you win 2nd place at a car show with a brand new, stock car? Couldn't you have just rented a corvette and won 1st?

Congrats on the truck! Those are nice - cannot wait for the SuperCrew to come out.

How is it parking that beast? It is what, 8" wider then a normal F510?

Its almost too nice to take offroad. Once the newness wears off, I'm sure you'll be having the time of your life going through some whoops.

If he wanted to win the show, he certainly wouldn't have rented a Corvette.

I won an award with a stock Lightning, so...I dunno. Guess cleanliness and rarity (i.e. a non-modified L, ha ha!) count for something in the show world.

That would be great to take the truck through some thick mud and enter it in the show like that, you might win outta originality.
