The Elise was and still is a great car, I'm just ready for a change. Since I bought the Silverado it has become quite a garage queen. I put over 20,000 miles on it in its first year of ownership and probably less than 5,000 in the 18+ months since. I ran it once at the Texas Mile but I don't really race it at all since I have a purpose built race car for that kind of thing. The Silverado is a 2WD Regular Cab so I have difficulty getting to camp at the hunting lease and down the beach at times. I can't pull the big boat to the lake nor can I tow the race car to the track so the switch to the Raptor will be a much needed transition.
I plan on selling the car in the next month or so and ordering the Raptor either at the end of this year or the beginning of the next depending on whether I want to finance a portion of it or not. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and if you have any other suggestions or tips, feel free to pass them along. I will keep you guys posted as things progress.
