Ford F150 Raptor (1 Viewer)

I was going to preorder one since I drive on the beach and camp a bunch.  Size is great for 3 boys and all our sports...and lugging my work #### from airport to airport.  But I'm not going to pay the extra 10k most dealers want to tack on, plus I'm thinking I will look at / get an 2018 and let the bugs get worked out in year one.

 
The Range Rovers with the V8 are making 500+ hp these days.  They're pretty incredible cars to drive.  I borrowed one from a hotel probably 5-10 years ago, and it was just awesome.  Smooth as silk and refined and comfortable and crazy fast.  That said, when you start looking at those and then pile on the options, you're looking at 100k.  Though I do see some used in the 50-60k range...

 
I wonder if I'll miss the open air summer feel of my tricked out Wrangler if I trade it in for one of these.  

That said, it is kind of a pig on the highway, isn't really very comfortable, and I've had exactly zero opportunities to take it off-road in the year I've owned it.  For some reason, when I bought it, I expected it would turn me into a mountain man overnight, and I imagined myself fly fishing in some remote area of the Catskill mountains, with my girls off in a meadow having a picnic.  I even grew a beard for a while.  It turns out I use it to go to the mall and the local Mexican place with my family, and I've put exactly 2,600 miles on it in like 14 months.

Of course, the open air is good for a drive down to the beach on a nice day, or for smoking cigars.  I have on a few nice occasions asked Mrs. O for an excuse for me to go run an errand, and I'll light up a stogie and go for a cruise to the food store, listening to Hair Nation.  With my beard.  Oh and a camo hat.  #wannaberedneck
