Going good so far, but it's so freakin' big!
I was driving an Infiniti FX, which I thought was a pretty wide vehicle, not. I have some adjustments to make. Raptor is too tall to go in my normal underground parking garage at work (6'6" limit), so I have to switch to another parking garage (7' limit). I can get it in the 3rd car slot in my single door home garage (I have to back in because otherwise my driver's door would be against the wall), but it's like parking a lunar module on the tip of flag pole.... 2-3 inches clearance at most on all four sides with mirrors folded. Getting better, but I don't know if this will work long term. I'm bound to forget to fold the mirrors and take one out or scrape a flare on the door rails. I may have to park in the middle slot, but that puts my wife's rather large minivan in front of the door from the garage to the house, making it tough to get people and stuff through there. Can't make her back into the 3rd car spot. She only has an inch clearance to mirrors on the van. I could park it in the driveway, but I live in Northeast Oklahoma, twister alley, and we get hail and wind and rain and everything else all spring, blazing 100+ heat in the summer and more than two feet of snow on the first day of February this year. So, garage it is! By the time I get this figured out, my driving skills will be greatly improved. Hard to believe in Oklahoma, where 2 in 3 people drive a pickup truck that they are still making garages this short and doors this narrow. This is a 3 car garage for godsakes, and I only have two cars and a bunch of bikes!
Good news is that my buddy is already begging me to take it to the sand dunes, so I can use it for what was intended. And, I can't wait to put the Birdman treatment to it tomorrow. Tint goes on this afternoon.
