Last year in December we were watching the Top gear episode Raptor vs Halo, at the end of the show my wife says that's a badass truck I said yes it is. The next day I call Hennessey to find out if the trucks for sale it was and the rest is history.

I heard this line from somewhere, can't recall where, but I decided that the next girl I started going out with, as soon as she saw my 00 HD truck, that I'd tell her "now before we go any further, the truck was here before you, the truck will be here after you, any questions?" and she smiled and said no. I said "no really, I mean that, I don't want to waste your time down the road, this is who I am, if you ever plan on questioning it, we can stop right here before it starts".

Needless to say, 5-1/2 years later we're still together. She upgraded from her 05 SRT-4 Neon that she had when we met, to a '11 5.0 GT Mustang (stick of course!), she never said a word when I bought a second IDENTICAL 00 HD truck to my 1st 00 HD truck, so I could have matching twins towing one truck to the race track with the other. Never a word when I bought an '04L to drive for a couple months then flip, and nothing when I put a 10 point 8.50 cert rollcage in my HD truck. Needless to say we're engaged now, she's a keeper LOL. She'll bust my chops about selling my 2nd 00 HD truck that only had 25k miles on it when I sold it back in October to buy a brand new Raptor, but I use the excuse that I only did it so I could have the extra cab space to have room for a family down the road haha.

Walked through the front door and the wife said, "Why didn't you come through the garage like you usually do?" To which I replied, "Well, I forgot my garage clicker."

Then she asked, "So, where is your garage clicker?" To which I replied, "It's still in my old truck at the dealer." She didn't say a word to me for three weeks.

I made a deal to buy her a newer car when I ordered the raptor. Just got her this a few days ago! Its too bad molten orange was discontinued for 2012's. Lol

Oh yea its the "Baja" edition (whatever that means) I've also nicknamed it "Compy" (as in those small raptor looking dinosaurs in jurasic park)

We were at dinner one night and my wife asked how many miles i had on my 04 FX4. She said you should think about getting rid of it while its still worth something. I agreed, the next day i started shopping.
We also have an agreement.... I can get anything I want as long as it doesnt effect her lifestyle and I still put money in my kids college fund every month.

I wanted a Raptor so bad but already had my CTS-V...so I convinced my wife that she NEEDED a Raptor. We traded in her 2010 SRX on the Raptor. 3 months later I sold my V and took the Raptor! I've never looked back.

Don't have a wife (or Raptor YET) But do have a F250 Harley Diesel, 105th Anniv Softail Custom, enough Guns and AMMO to hold off Russia for a few days. I go where I want to, whenever I want to. I don't answer to anyone. Love going to the casino, and I loose what ever money I take, often......................lol And nobody gives a shit.

My world is pretty good! Now where did I put my beer, and ******??
