    I pulled behind one the other day while out with my wife. The conversation goes as follows:

    I took my wife’s Raptor in for a detailing at the same dealership we got the truck from. $199 plus tax for their best detailing. I picked it up late so I wasn’t able to get a great look at it, but it wasn’t bad from what I saw. Get in to the garage with better lighting and start noticing things. Glass wasn’t clean,

    1. Thanks. I have heard that babies are a great way to start people.

    I just brought home my new born son yesterday in my wife’s Raptor. He sat next to his 2 year old sister. She’s already been off-roading in the truck. Once my son can support his neck, he will go out too.

    I am sitting here on my lunch break, in my 08 F150 extended cab, watching the newer truck crash video in horror hoping mine wasn’t the same.

    I wasgiven a 56 Ford F-100 that my dad owned. Still needing a restoration. Behind the seat I found a long pipe. As I picked the pipe up and stood it on end, I heard something slide down it. Out comes a nail with paper taped around it in dart form. We apparently had a bad problem with stray cats where we used to live.

    It needs the manual transmission to make it really fun. The half shaft is an easy fix. I replaced it on my 84 200sx. Same color.

    I would have to say misreading ft-lbs and in-lbs. Or misreading the instructions in general. I have snapped a couple bolts as i adjusted my ft-lb torque wrench to the in-lb number.

    I use to have an s12. It was a great little car. However, it got used by a teenage boy and driven excessively hard. She is in the clouds now...

    Taking the TH350 transmission out of my 79’ jimmy in my dads garage. It was the dead of winter but I thought it wouldn’t be so bad. I had a space heater pointed at me, all should be good.

    I keep getting offers in the mail for the dealership wanting to buy my truck back. Looked legit at first. It was apparently an email that was sent to another salesman and printed off. The names of the used car manager were correct. It even had what appeared to be a hand written post it note attached. They stated that

    I was selling my 79 GMC Jimmy project truck a while back as I had a baby on the way, needed the money, etc...

    I have a back up camera in my 08 f150. It’s a great feature. I use it a lot.

    I took my Raptor out to the sand dunes in Hinton, Alberta. There were some very very narrow trails including one that was basically a "v" shape. I guided as the wife drove. If you fucked it up or steered slightly off, the truck would be on its side. This was all inside of a pine tree lined trail as well. We got quite

    The Tigra ice racer was my all time favorite from that game.

    My wife bought herself a 2010 Raptor. She did her homework on the truck, knows it inside and out, and has driven that truck the way it was supposed to be driven.

    I bought my last tires from a big box store. Canadian Tire to be exact. Saved me $300. I went in to pick them up and they asked if I wanted them installed there. I simply laughed and walked away.

    I am going to say the Ford Raptor. At the height of its frenzy, they were selling fully loaded Raptors for around $70k CAN around here. They sold these things like hotcakes and there were/are tons of them around me. I average seeing 3 a day.

    I have seen this car or a replica of it driving around Calgary a few years ago.
