so I saw a new ford truck today - has ford written in the gril - built on a F-150 - maybe its a new SVT like the lightning? anyway when I saw it - first thing that came to mind was - I really want one of those - and put a 10 year window in there for when I think the price will be dirt cheap but still beable to find the parts to keep it running - glad there are enough rich people to break in my future toys for me 
it's a cool looking truck!
Ford Raptor. The new Ford Super Truck.

thats it - but in blue.. figured in 10 years my 96 chevy 1500 will need replaced..
My first sighting was a black Raptor tailgating me aggressively and I immediatley thought Wow that is badass and also VERY intimidating. It didn't help that its headlights were above my eye level when seated in my car.
Everything about it just screamed don't berkeley with me.
Saw a blue one the other week and immediately my underpants needed cleaning.
I just can't get over how mammoth that is for being based on an F150....it's cool...but huge.

Edit: don't berkeley with me, because my penis is tiny!

My town (pop 4k) now has 4. 2 white, 1 orange, and 1 black.
I want a Black one. They aren't any bigger than a standard crew cab, just lifted...with taller rubber.
didnt top gear (us version) profile one last season?

9 out of 10 women agree they perform better.

Yes
Yeah, such an aggressive street truck, what with the frames bending if you take it offroad.

Take a trophy truck to the limit and you can bend the frames or tubes on that as well. Just a good example of people not pre driving a course and driving well beyond the spec of a vehicle.
In reply to Maroon92:
and wider fenders, with longer front arms for more travel, fox reservoir shocks all around as well.
From what I heard, it's so much wider that the DOT made them put the 5 yellow lights across the front.
Wow. Same price as an F-350 King Ranch with none of the capacity or utility. A truck for guys who wear $400 jeans without pockets.
