Well first day of Senior year tomorrow guys. Cant sleep. Got a few stories to keep you guys entertained. Ehh lets see, two weeks ago, one of my known local hang outs, Taco bell parking lot. Ours is pretty large, for taco bell. Me and my buddies were parked there talking sitting on my tailgate. Our car club (teen only) has 5 350z's all decked to the max. Turbos, exhaust, everything. Then we have an '05 powerstroke, a couple lifted Chevrolets which I'm against but hey the more the merrier. The guy that pulled up in his early 90's squeak having, exhaust leaking, non matching unbalanced nitto mud grappler having, rust harboring, bad smell emitting ************* dodge had the nerve to say, "who's ************* ford is this?" Sinh, (owner of one of the 350's was like go easy on him) I replied to the dodge guy, "Its mine." He went on about how ford is shit and all that for 5 minutes and I tuned him out. Anyways... once his rant was over, (give credit to whoever gave me this idea from early on in this thread) I pulled my keys out of my left pocket (ford factory fob and viper 5904 remote) and said here, wanna take It for a spin. He says, "Hell to the ************ yes!" and I say, "thought so." My whole damn car club laughed their asses off:D:D So he proceeds to get in my face (wasn't scared of him typical malnourished skinny ass redneck from the sticks. + I'm 6'2" and workout quite a lot) and say, "my truck will walk past yours." I take out 5 100's and set them down on the hood of my truck and say, they are all yours if you win. I pick the dirt road, washed out, several jumps, washed out areas, long sweeping bends great for drifts. Anyways everyone piled up and lined up. It was funny, my buddies know not to line up directly behind me because I sling gravel so hard. The guy in the dodge invited one of his friends to "watch a ford get owned." His idiot friend parks right behind me. I'm pretty sure his truck got blasted with rocks when I took off. Anyways, I had him off the line and he was so far behind when I got to the end, I got out and leaned up against the tailgate and crossed my arms waiting on him. I've never seen someone so pissed off. He didnt even stop! Just hit the pavement and tried to do a burn out and failed miserably. He doesnt mess with me any more!

Last story, tonight.

Buddy just got a roush stage 1 (v6) mustang. We were all at the traditional yearly senior class tree roll at the high school (we Have a huge oak tree By itself out front). We were all in the student parking lot decorating parking spots with chalk and taping over the underclassmen parking spot numbers. My buddy is trying to show off his mustang by revving it and what not. So we got in a rev contest and people were yelling, "raptor boy won ****** give it up!!" So He's like wanna race big boy? I'm like, fine. Went up to the drag strip And I kicked his ass 3 times. Idk why, makes me think he can't drive a stick properly. Driver error or not, I won and everyone that turned up to watch laughed their asses off at him and I left with a big grin :D.


A lot of funny shit happens around here fellas. I'll try to post in here often as I can.

***Future Raptor Owner***
MAJOR RAPTOR FEVER: Screen saver (Raptor), desktop (Raptor), hours on end on FRF site, many parts in my garage awaiting the beast's delivery!!!

Needless to say I am a future owner of a Screw (very proud) and have let my office cohorts on my secret (not really a secret) that I ordered a new Raptor. Well one of my buddies must be exceedingly jealous based on the email I received yesterday (Friday morning) - email titled "Bests the Raptor 8 days a week!" As I scroll south I see a picture of a tan, steel, square POS with a link to ebay. Ladies and gentlemen I would like all FRF know that a 1986 Land Cruiser ($15K) is proclaimed to be greater machine than the Raptor.

The new running joke in the office is to buy a 1986 LC to head off roading in. I sure know I'd feel safer and slower! Don't think my buddy and I have talked sense.

Same parking lot, same time basically.

I walk out of the store

Dude: I like your truck, what model year is it
Me: 2011
Dude: What does SVT standfor
Me: Special Vehicle Team
Duded clearly had no idea, this is not the first time some one thought the Raptor was the newest MY F150

Another guy was showing my truck off to his fellow landscapers. Proceeded to tell them that the fox shocks on my truck are Nitrogen filled, and that makes them "badass." Every other word out if his mouth after that was "badass." I did enjoy the look on his co-workers face. "Duded I don't give a 'poo' shut up already."

A departure from the Best Compliments thread, I was reading a post that brought me back to the first 2 days of owning Wally. In Best Compliments someone said that they enjoyed looking at other Raptors too, and I myself must admit I love doing that too.

That said, I remember pulling up into a large Kroger's parking lot parking and then walking to Ti Jin's (a Chinese Restaurant) when a 2013 White Screw pulls up slowly. I nod to the guy and his buddy, motion to him to lower his window but instead he and his friend just smirked and pulled hard into a parking spot double-parking.

I just shook my head and went to Ti Jin's had dinner with my folks and some family friends and then left with them walking back out from a long dinner. Of course the '13 guy and his friend now have like a few friends and a few girls (*jealousy flaring*) all laughing by his Screw. So just one minor detail, his truck had his front skid plate crushed in and his exhaust looked a little off barring that his truck and mine stock-for-stock looked the same; still though no damage for me. At any rate, my temper flared and I jumped in my truck and pulled up real slow like to their little gathering and squeezed the gas a little in front of them making sure they saw my front end up-close as I waved and smiled at the girls. At any rate I just saw a shocked look of disbelief from the guy and his friend and one or two smiles from the girls.

So let this be a good point for us to make note of, it never pays off to be an arrogant *******. Especially if you are not 100% certain the guy next to you does not have as good or even better of something that you're flaunting.

DEEP ranger at the boat launch, an older guy, says to me (while staring directly at the front grill), "Wow! That's some truck! 'Looks like a Christmas tree with those lights. Is it a Dodge?"

Bear in mind that it was daytime. The parking lights went on because I locked the doors with the remote.

I just smiled and said, no, it was a Ford. Maybe he was legally blind...

I've had that a few times where someone standing in front of it asks if it's a Nissan/Toyota/Chevy/Dodge and I just say "No..... it's a ford".

If nothing else it tells you that the giant FORD is not THAT loud and that it blends nicely.

I get, as I exit the drivers seat, "is that your truck?"
"Yes it's is."
"You drive that?"
I usually glance at the keys in my hand and say "yes I do"
Then they try to get technical with questions which I answer patiently. Then say
"well, uh it's a nice truck"
I laugh and say "yes, yes it is."


Granted Orange isn't with me when this happens so of course I say it's MY truck lol
