Yep, saw my first Raptor in all of its glory on Sunday afternoon. I was exiting the highway and as I looked to make my turn at the light at the end of the exit ramp I spotted it.

BIG beautiful, black grille, F O R D proudly bearing down on the tiny ricer in front of it. I have to admit that I got all excited and started bouncing around behind the steering wheel. Felt like a kid about to hit Disney World for the first time.

I didnt have anything pressing to do, so I followed it, hoping it would stop soon. Sure enough, the driver pulled up in and stopped at a gas station.

I whipped my truck up beside his and as soon as he saw me grinning, he got a big ol smile and rolled down his window. He said "I know, I still cant believe it myself!"

He said it rides great and that his wife reported it "tears through the snow"..... brave, brave man.

He has not had it out in the sand yet, but plans to do so this coming weekend. He was friendly and just as goofy as I was over his truck.

That thing was 100% pure KICK ***!

 

I saw one on TV watching Barrett-Jackson this year. They look really cool.
