Something I learned recently is that Carmax has a stake in edmunds. A former employee stated that if you take an edmunds price sheet into carmax that they will match what edmunds price is, contingent on accuracy of condition. This will typically get you more value on your raptor than a...

I didn’t shop for raptors long, but even without a mark up in California, msrp was a win. Although, I’ve been to dealerships where they mark up every single vehicle they have regardless of rarity, buncha jerks. I love that Ford made the raptor 50 state emissions standard. Biggest favor they...

I think it might be too wide for some trucks, this is just what I heard, don’t quote me on that. I personally would try to make the trip and drive it back if you could. Some horror stories of transport shenanigans on this forum that would make me weary. Things like missing trucks, damage on the...

Look in the for sale section of the forums there’s a gentleman listing his avalanche 802a with 50kish miles. I could be wrong on the details but he’s asking 52k, which IMO is a screaming deal especially for that color. My opinions on price may be tainted living in California though. Good luck!

That’s kind of how I think of it too, except I don’t even know if I’d be interested in the TRX if they were priced similarly to a raptor, hellcat and all. I never considered myself brand loyal, but I can definitively say that with a raptor, it’s the only vehicle I’d buy again if I wanted another...

California is full of a bunch of nutters man so I really don’t have much faith, but I’ve been surprised recently when they voted down reintroducing affirmative action. I don’t even think this EV thing was voted on (could be wrong), so it just seems like they can mandate and do what they want...

I agree with this which is why it seems a little scary to me that California would force the issue of all EV by 2040 or whatever it is and that Ford suggested they would follow suit. I’d consider an EV for around town but the anxiety of driving that thing anything beyond its range makes it tough...

All that info is well and good, but honestly the thing that sold me the most on the raptor, and people may blast me for it, are the looks of it. I find it more aesthetically pleasing and can tell the difference quite clearly from a raptor and a regular f-150 driving down the road. Granted I...

I can agree with that. I wouldn’t want to be a CO or a LEO in today’s society and with the current social and political climate. Never my intention to insult anyone’s profession or diminish it. I have respect for anyone who works any job and provides for their family or themselves.

Apology accepted man. See? Was that so hard? I think it takes a lot to admit when you are wrong, which you did. Kudos to you for being the bigger man. Just as an aside, teacher, or even baby sitter is my profession, not prison guard. I thought that was clear when I stated I use a book and...

I just got my windows tinted yesterday and had a big internal debate about 50% or 35% on the front windows. The back windows were 5%. The gentleman doing the tint said more so get pulled over for 35% than 50% but most numbers were small and those were two options he suggested. I finally decided...

I think if you are going into every conversation thinking you have to come out a winner and not trying to understand someone else’s point of view you have the wrong attitude, which was clear from the beginning where you thought interjecting insults was the way to go.

Cool man, I never claimed to be a LEO but I can guarantee you I work with and see more criminals daily than they do, seeing as it’s my job to educate them and teach them. You want to talk about not knowing what a cop goes through? I work with one CO with me in a room full of hardened criminals...

I think that you have the right attitude and the fact that you can articulate your thoughts without getting defensive and resorting to insults shows what kind of LEO you are. Working with law enforcement weekly I get to see a lot of good cops and some lazy ones. I have yet to personally meet a...

I think having to deal with that warranty and rental issue awhile ago has fried your brain there Gordo. Best of luck to you

I can understand that, and you are right that it isn’t always about fear. It really is how an individual approaches a situation and naturally some are more skittish than other cops. Some with good reason, some with not good reason. I can understand why a police offer goes into a given situation...

@GordoJay great, thanks for reinforcing my point. The fact that you think using a dictionary is an insult says more about you than it does about me. Are you going to insult me for graduating from college next? Nowhere did I disparage cops other than to state the fact that if they can’t handle...

Ok I can see there is zero point in debating an issue with you, as I made zero assumptions about your post and referenced exactly what you said, while you claimed my argument was about defunding the police? Where did I mention that at all? Please do explain it to me, slowly. Let’s not pretend...

At what point did you decide that you would make up your own narrative of what I said and completely ignore what I wrote. No where did I say defund the police except your brain apparently. I just stated statistics and the fact that if someone thinks their job is too dangerous and they act based...

If the job is too dangerous for them, or they are too afraid to do it, I would suggest them getting another job. A police officer doesn’t even make it into the top 10 list of dangerous jobs.

Lol yes I suppose that is correct, can’t argue with you there. Also agree with you on NYC, where they are also leaving in droves to Florida. @TopElement you will still need to smog bringing in a vehicle less than a couple years old and you would also need to smog a vehicle less than 2 years old...

Wrong on all accounts. More people leaving than entering, you can look up the stats yourself, fairly easy to find as California is one of the top 4 states in terms of exodus. Also for California it isn’t based only on mileage to be considered used. It also needs to be at least 2 years old. If...

Yup, have you heard of the proposition where they want to tax the outgoing income of former Californians? I’m probably mistaken but I remember them saying at a certain point anyone who leaves will still have their income taxes if it was within 10 years or something. Can’t be legal. SMH...

People are leaving man at a rate of 2 for every one incoming. Uhaul is charging 2500 to rent trucks that leave California while other states charge about 300 entering California.

Wow I can’t believe @911 Crazy has stooped so low as to make a burner account to compliment himself and tried to throw us off his scent by adding a couple of insults in there. Ain’t falling for this one buddy! edit:typo
