Welcome to the Raptor world! I'm about to roll over 30k in mine and I've loved every minute of it. You'll never be able to buy a regular truck again. The seats, steering wheel and handling all spoil the **** out of you.

damn! ^^

E55 is a sleeper and Raptor isn't compared to it but definitely a good choice.

Btw what gives ? what made you move from cars to trucks ?
Also post pics !

raptor

Thanks for the compliments. The board has been great in helping own the E55. It was my dream car for years then finally got one and enjoyed every bit of the 4 years I had it.

The raptor is totally opposite but just as the 55 was the baddest sedan this is the baddest truck. I've been snowmobiling a lot and was tired of banging up the mountains in a 92 chevy when my daily is a 55. So with the raptor I get to roll like a 55 but with a snowmobile in the back.

I attached a quick picture.

Luckily I got a good trade on the 55. I was bummed nobody bought it. Apparently modified cars don't have much of a market in Seattle.

Will be selling the custome carbon fiber rear spoiler and forgestar wheels. It sucks I had to leave the expensive eurotech rear diffuser on
