i'd have to agree 100%. this is a unique truck, and a unique situation. there are plenty of people "on the sidelines" waiting to see how ford resolves the issue. ford can fix the issue for less than $20k, or they can tell their 'niche' customers to essentially fuck off in a very public way.

meh, advertise a truck as an off-road capable truck with people jumping the shit out of it all over FORD'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE, and what do you expect?? while i agree that these individuals may have been abusing their truck, the smarter choice for ford might be to just fix the reported 14 trucks (the svt engineer said it would be under $1000), and issue a statement on all raptor forums, as well as on their official website regarding 'abusing' the truck, and how to avoid bending the frame-- this story has gone through just about every major car enthusiast forum and has likely been viewed by millions of people---some of which (me) may re-consider any ford purchase in the future. certainly, ford cannot cover damage to every vehicle that comes in, that has been abused---but i have 3 gm cars with (at least) 5yr/100k mile warranties--ford doesn't offer this on any of their cars.

holy shit. can't stop laughing. the makita drill--rofl

that interior looks good enough to film a porno in. "porno red" anyone?? clean car.

still awaiting the transmission issues to be straightened out on my '04 (built 4r70w). 19k miles, and i bought it brand new right off the showroom floor. don't think i'll get rid of it anytime soon. finding a one owner car will be difficult, but i'd definitely check out svtperformance.

this^^ unfortunately, these cars are getting to the point where people who can now own them are absolutely beating the shit out of them, or modding them into dedicated track cars. finding a clean, unmolested example will be difficult

put the thread on hold until jamie has internet service and can make the call-out himself. making callouts on someone else's behalf is lame as fuck---period. sounds like he's agreed to your (friend's) race, as well as his race--pretty fair if you ask me. people have jobs/families/responsibilities. can you expect them to drop everything for a weekend and trailer their car 2 hours just because that's when your buddy wants to race?? if he wants to prove a point that bad, he can come to a track near columbus.

damn, bmw rolled out. i'd love to own a 2jz car at some point

^looked like the dsm's fault to me??

hey nate, its kirk. welcome to the site. not sure why everybody is giving this guy shit +rep

not going to happen, by the way. and the health care program will be scrapped (at least every (working) american had better hope it gets scrapped).

dear mods, please consider killing me. love, this aids-infested, failed abortion of a thread

i'd love to go on a vacation with my wife without the kids--hawaii seems perfect. did you run into dr. rick (v8killr, or haole) there by chance??? just wondering what type of scam he's set up in hawaii

what the fuck is this 'google' you speak of??? and i used to own a GTO, so i wouldn't call myself purely a 'domestic' buyer. almost bought a new GTR recently, so i'm not opposed to jap cars, just not a 20 year old supra.

for the non-ricers, wtf is a 7m??

You're definitely a better sport about it than most would be Congrats

congrats. awd, just in case you decide to take if off-roading. just kidding. love the color.

i have to agree here. front wheel drive, decent size, and not incredibly boring---yet at the same time not something he will easily get into problems with. will do well in the snow vs. rwd and stick.

twinkie pic still makes me laugh every time

+1 i've been at 600 rwhp with the stock motor for over 4 years no problem--tons of others in the exact same boat. plenty have pushed the stock motor to 700rwhp and lived there for a long time.

impressive. i used them once when i lived in columbus. sucks to have to tow a car for any reason, but i was more than satisfied with the service congrats

cobra apparently is powered by an lsx motor. runs 8.60's if i recall.

no, i'm pretty sure you're challenging for the top spot.

how'd the meat go?

and he's back. they always come back. careful with some of the low overpasses with that wing bro---shit. see you at the meat. i'll be in the primered civic with the fake BOV and neon lights under the car. :fuckyeah: hope to get some 'runs' in with that beast. i've been busy trying to get my car ready for the pro-drifting circuit, so we can do some parking lot runs
