For lack of better places to take the truck offroad here in Miami, I often run around the service roads out on the farmland just south of the city. It's pretty common practice, I always see tons of ATVs and UTVs while i'm out there, and I've never had a problem.
Well, I come around a corner and see a white Chevy 1500 decked out work truck turn in and block the road. I consider booking it but then decide to continue on and see what he has to say.
The guy's already out of his truck by the time I pull up, so I roll down the window, ready to give my apology. But to my surprise he's smiling ear to ear, says I watched you fly over those rollers from the road and had to come check this thing out. He starts walking laps around the truck inspecting and asking about every little detail. We talk about the truck for a few moments and he says that he's always had a Chevy but loves these trucks. I ask him if he'd like a ride and he hops in - after requesting that I don't wreck us (he's in his 60's and I'm 23).
Took him on a 2 minute hot lap around one of the fields that ended with a perfect jump over a railroad crossing. By the time I get him back to his truck hes laughing like a little kid. Tells me, "Come back here in a week and I promise I'll be in one of these too!"
Oh yeah, and he was the property owner after all.

I work in the oil and gas ind. I pull up on one of my locations to visit a customer (73 year old good ol boy) and he is standing in the door way in a wife beater eating a bowl of gumbo and yells out, " Holy shit a black redneck I be damn! My boy welcome to manhood That is a bad S.O.B"
I still laugh every time I see him now. He placed a 50k order with me that day up until then, the most he did was 10k over 3 months. Sales is all about relationships and being able to relate to your customer. Who would of thought a "RAPTOR" would have helped me bridge that gap?!

Last night, I was out working about two in the morning pressure washing the entrance to a city library. All of the sudden I feel someone looking at me. Since I was not in the absolute best part of town, my head was on a swivel looking for what I was feeling. I Look over and see someone staring at me, then my truck, then me, then my truck. He was probably trying to figure out how I could own a truck like that, finally he said, "that is one beautiful truck" and walked off.

Did a run to the dump last weekend to drop off odd bits and pieces that accumulated in the garage. As I pull up to the building where you pull up to dump your garbage, one of the workers flags me down: "Alright what you got tod..... WHOOOOAAAAA. What kinda truck is THAT?!?!?" While I proceeded to back up to empty the bed he called all his buddies and as I am ready to leave I have about ten guys staring at the truck.
Makes you kinda feel special, even at the dump

Especially up in Napa and Sonoma....Got a lot of stares going through there after adding all the aftermarket parts.

Guy at work bought a brand new Tundra. Looks pretty. Anyways, he comes up to me and says "hey you're a truck guy, right? Do you know where I can get a cover for my bed?"
Giving him a nonchalant answer I said " naw I never looked in to it, I have a full stocked rack in my bed. Don't need a cover"
He says "Holy shit so you're the black Raptor I always see!!!"
