Blessed or Spoiled? My 2012 Arrived!!!

[SHOOTER]

Ordered sometime in Sept/Oct (Phil Long Ford in Denver)
Window Sticker on Dec 14
Railhead in Denver on Jan 3
Delivered and tucked away in garage on Jan 4
Resting comfortably next to a distant cousin, my Factory Five.

I waited too long on the '11 order for a black one, but am thankful for the upgrades the '12 brought me. Heated/Cooled seats, cameras, wheels, etc. My last Ford FX4 lasted me 9 great years and I'm passing it along to my pops. The wife and I are looking forward to driving it up in the mountains and having some fun. Oh, and we have twins on the way in May....

Life advice: stay in school, get a good job and marry UP.

So, spoiled, blessed or what?

Nope, this is my first Raptor. I meant I tried to order an '11 but waiting too long. Current truck is a 2002 FX4 that has served us very well. Also, its a Factory Five kit that my pops and I put together. Lots of fun.

I'll post some more. Oh, and the mileage was 55 when i got it.

Supercrew, loaded. I'm in heaven.

If your dad is still alive, and you have married up... You are definitely blessed.

Nice truck! The 1st pic with the grille lights look cool with the lighting in the garage!

And yep that's good advice lol. Throughout college I always had a poster on my wall that said "Motivation for Higher Education" and it was like a 6 or 8 car garage with all exotic cars parked in it. I bought it 1st day freshman year and had it hung up in my place all throughout college. Worked my *** off to get a great job and it has paid off. And lucky for me, while I didn't get to marry UP, I did get to marry across and my fiance is an engineer as well, and makes the same moola I do. No arguements of who makes more so who has to pay for more bills, blah blah blah. Even split, and with the rest buy toys! lol

I know that poster quite well, I had the same one in HS. Between that and working sh*t jobs sweating your ass off in the summer, both great motivation.

I'm an engineer as well, mechanical (Kansas State) and work on the HVAC/energy efficiency side. I have to chuckle since I work with greenies and have a poor MPG truck. Oh well.

Oh, and the wife is a CPA.
