Best Raptor Compliments

[Blind1]

It sounds like a Chick Car. You been hanging with @ZBoater?

Woman in C store told me "oh, you drive the truck with the smiley face, I love that truck!!"

It has an "S" that makes it sporty.... I call it my 4 cylinder in a plastic skirt.

At least our Altima is a 6 cylinder... And actually joes DD is night raptor, the car is only used when either truck is in the shop.

Had an Army Sergeant (E-5) ask me if the green leaf meant I was in an EcoBoost Raptor because he hadn't seen "one of those" yet.

Wife and I were staying on a Indian reservation, came out of the hotel in the morning, to find the most beautiful bird feather slipped between the glass and the rubber weather strip on the drivers door. No possible way it could have randomly landed there. We considered it an honor, and still have the feather.

On the way to school with my daughter today we came into the second half of a downhill S curve with a driveway at the apex. Two kids are standing there waiting for their bus. Older boy gives thumbs up. His younger sister had her back to us turned around casually until she sees the truck. Guess we startled her. She put her arms up and jumped back about 3 feet. I guess the truck looks scary. We took it as a compliment lol.

After a morning of hiking with the wife went to a nearby winery for lunch and some tasting. A 58 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser pulled in next to the Raptor as we were about to head home. The owner of the Mercury came over and told us how much he loved the Raptor and actually sat on the Board of Ford and played a part in launching that model. I thought that was pretty cool.

Ran into a Ford engineer at Walgreens today. Him and his wife were visiting Austin for the weekend. Ended up chatting a while about the Raptor. Sadly he would not spill any beans about the next gen Raptor. He was surprised that I managed to even purchase one of the trucks for invoice pricing.

I pulled into a rest stop on my way from Roseburg to Portland yesterday. There was a small white Toyota sedan a couple of spaces from me and there were two fellows welding and grinding on a visitors kiosk making repairs. When I was about to get back in my truck a young fellow in his early 20's came out and walked toward the Toyota and saw my truck. He looked like a deer caught in the head lights. All he could say was, "Cool ride, cool ride." As I started up the engine, my truck is not really quiet on startup, the two welders who were working looked up and dropped their tools and just gaped as I drove away... It sure made me smile inside...
