Did Mike say he liked Cory's Dinghy????

Believe it or not Jim, I have never yet seen a 2017 Raptor in person yet....
Sort of bugs me that I have waited all this time and I've heard the order banks are open now for the 2018...

Good morning everyone! It's getting easier to type as time goes on, so hopefully I'll be a bit more active. I'm now in OT for my left wrist, as all the overuse over the last three weeks has it behaving the same as my right did a few months ago. REALLY don't want another carpal tunnel surgery...

I saw one on the road just yesterday. Easy to tell with the clearance lights and the dual exhaust...I remember a throaty exhaust note, but I only heard it briefly.

In other words, they (Supposedly) are not taking anymore 2017 orders, but they will take 2018 orders. The truck I ordered on Feb 3rd is a 2017...
