New Velociraptor owner......

[Muchmore]

Definitely will. I got a quote from Reliable but it will take them 2-3 weeks to pick it up. The other shippers we are talking to seem to only have $100k or so of cargo insurance, which is a problem. If we cant resolve it by Friday, then me and my nephew are going to take my flatbed and go get it ourselves.

Who will tow who home?

haha. Believe me, its pretty tempting to just fly out and drive it home. But I figure there is no need to put 1,000 garbage miles on it for no reason.....

But think of all the pant ies (freakin' censor) you'll have to stop and pick up along the way

At the risk of getting flamed more than the OP, I kinda dig it. I have seen them in the flesh, uh I mean sheet metal before. Use it in good health OP.

That copper interior....my God! Keep that safe from the copper thieves lol

Didn't you buy it to drive it?

I've never looked at vehicles as investments. More like fun toys to be used up (ish). Then again have only had one that was over six digits. To me, the trip WITH the nephew doing something "cool" would be worth the miles alone.

Just finished the deal for a Hennessey Velociraptor 6x6. I'm sure I will get a bunch of jazz from people due to the ridiculous cost of these beasts. But I was able to get a pretty drastic price reduction, and also traded a car that I rarely drive, so for my particular situation it was win-win.

Just wanted to introduce myself and see if there are any other Raptor owners in the Tampa area here who go to any local events. I also have a Gladiator Hellcat and there is a pretty active Jeep community here with lots of events.

Here's a few pics, it is a 2023 in Avalanche with blue interior....... View attachment 426004

I don't know what all it's able to do but as far as looks and just something different. I like it. I'd love to cruise in that for sure. I'm a poor high school football and wrestling coach so I'll just be envious and say damn I should've made better career decisions if I wanted crazy toy lol. Nah I love my job and my school....but my wrestling team would love that thing wrapped with our school name and mascot for me to go to and from practice in lol

I certainly drive my toys, but I try to do it within reason. If we had more time then maybe it would be fun for me and my nephew to take a week and just screw off and drive it back at our leisure. But unfortunately we both have commitments that will require a "straight there and straight back" scenario, which certainly is not enjoyable.

That one is about as useless as the 6x6 lol. 1930 Model A, LS1 with 4 turbos. About 760 HP on skinnies........ LOL

Interior is all copper......
