Stupid Things People Say About Raptors

[Slacker]

Guard at the front gate this morning:

"Is that a Raptor? Who makes it?"

 

[Big Blue]

Well after two years of ownership and hundreds of questions....

My all time favorite stupid question from people:

"How's the gas mileage"

Had a group of jack asses come up to me this weekend and ask what the digitial mud was and why it said FORD on the grill being huge ****** bags. Then they asked me how much I paid for my truck... smiled said it wasn't much and proceeded to ask them how much down force their massive spoiler gave them on their civic. Got into a nice conversation about the concept of back pressure and their huge fart cannon that scraped the pavement.

Swear to god you can't go anywhere now a days without someone being jealous of something nice you worked hard for. It is like society has condemned success a bad thing. Not saying this applies to me but more of a general statement from my personal observation.

Maybe I am just weird but when I see a guy with a nice ass car cruising around it makes me want to work harder to one day be there... not want to yell at him for having something I couldn't afford. Honestly when I get out of the Navy and hit the private sector I hope my boss is the guy pulling up in the Ferrari or Lambo... that company would have all of my dedication if I saw that by putting in the work there I could one day possible enjoy something like that... or atleast have the opportunity to do so if I wanted...

Call me crazy... maybe I am just out of touch. Political correctness is just a cancer IMO.

Two neighbors both with F150's (10 FX4 and 12 Platinum) Notice I sold my 11F250. They come over to see why. I tell them I wanted a Raptor, and ordered a 13.... And this is what I got

D-Bag1 : You sold your bad ass 250 for a 150..Why?
Me : I have had a bunch of 250's and really dont pull anything. I would prefer to have a truck that is more me...A Motocrosser. I want to blast desert roads and have some fun at the Raptor Run
D-Bag1 : Raptor Run..Is that a car show
Me : Uhhh Ya, But with jumps, and dirt and high speed sweepers, and people playing off road with their bad ass trucks.
D-Bag1 - Your going to take a brand new truck and take it off road
Me : Hell Ya, thats why I bought it
D-Bag2 : Must be nice to have that kind of money to burn
Me : It sure Is
D-Bag1&2 : Silence......
Me : What is the point of you guys buying 4 wheel drive trucks, putting big wheels & tires on them if you dont go off the pavement. Just for looks?
D-Bag2: I worked extra shifts to make her look good
Me : I worked hard to go play hard
D-Bag1 : Ya but your truck is so sweet, I cant imagine wrecking it. I would never take mine down anything but a dirt road..
Me: You guys just dont get it.. The Raptor was made for this.

I just dont get why people need to make you feel bad about something they clearly wish they had. Then again, these two clowns would have street queen Raptors.....

Same here, I had a 3/4 ton diesel truck, lift, 14 inch wide wheels, the whole deal. People ask me, "why did you get rid of your badass truck for a Raptor?" I'm, so aggravated at hearing this over and over. The Raptor cost twice as much as the other truck too. I just don't understand why other people don't understand... It's a RAPTOR, PERIOD! There's nothing else to explain!

This has been by far the best thread I've ever started. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but beep beep!
