Why buy a Raptor??

[DirtNasty]

Oh and in regards to the topic of the thread.

Buying a raptor is like buying any other good/product/service.

I bought one because i want one, and i can.

Same reason i have 4 boxes of cigars on my desk, 5 assault rifles, 3 shotguns, and 20k in computers in this room. BECAUSE I CAN AND I WANT TO.

If i was of the personality type to try and rationalize everything down to qualitative/quantitative analysis of utility I would live in a different house, have a different wife, and do a different job. But im not that big of a *********, so i is what i is.

GD! You have written the most clear reason to buy a Raptor or anything else that makes life worth living.

Hope you won't mind if I use your arguments, the next time my wife gives me **** for buying the things that make it worth working the 70-80hrs/wk. She doesn't understand why buy new guns, mules/horse or new trucks when the old ones are working fine. "Because I want to & can afford it" just about says it all.

Now if we can only convince others to leave us alone to be able to buy & enjoy the things we want & can pay for. In my neck of the woods they are threatening to close another 50% of ORV roads/trails, even though 3/4ths of our local national forest is already closed to motorized use. In my hospital you can't even smoke in the parking lot, but tell a super fat nurse to stop eating,... that's harassment of the "eating disabled." Out here we are drowning in all the PC BS.

lol, ps i speak several languages (russian is not one of them), should i try and make my self look smarter by sharing boring/bland/mundane insults with you on the forum? If you are going to try and play those cards, at least do it ******* right. Come up with something colorful/amusing for an insult in some other language. Or maybe just get your ******* numbers straight when you do math, no really it takes all of 10 seconds to harness todays technology (which you some how managed to find a "how to get on the internet for dummies" book given your posting on this forum). Btw word of advice next time you sign up for a forum, dont use your email address as your screen name.

Actually I took a year of college Russian in the 1970s when we thought it might be important. That was the only line I memorized & have saved to cut & paste when forum rules discourage PC incorrect insults. If you remember the movie Patton, that was the line said by the Ruskie to Patton towards end of movie.

I use e-mail, because I'm not a computer geek, just a doc with nothing to hide. But your advice is appreciated & will be taken.

As regards the numbers, the point I am trying to make , & as smart as you are, keep missing, is the 400% increase in price, not the historic inflation rate. My son who lives in Europe already is paying $12 US/gal which explains why diesel is big over there.

You must be a fellow Californian.

Just a little north of you.

What did you or are you paying for your 2012?

Are you going to keep your FX4?

 

[Blukrom]

I ordered mine from super ford in puente hills. 1000 over invoice.
I currently have the fx4 for sale. I love it but it is time for something new.

Where north are you?

 

[dabsdb]

A little south of Canada.

 

[Blukrom]

You should pack up and move out of hippyville northwest and find somewhere else to live!

ps, lets work on your creative use of internet insults. Once you embark upon that voyage it becomes a life long sport full of hilarity and awesomeness.

I think I will just be quiet & pay attention to what you write.
