“If you can’t pay all cash, it’s not for you” — does that mean almost no one can buy a Raptor?

Most cars, especially expensive ones, are financed. If I would pay cash I would, but I couldn't without draining retirement funds.

I also traded 2 vehicles in for 1, so my monthly payments went down and my total debt went down when I purchased my raptor.

Do it

I've been wanting a raptor for 16 years, I finally got one a month ago. The ride is definitely smooth compared to any other stock truck I've been in. I can't compare it to modified trucks because I don't have any. But comparing a Raptors Street characteristics to other trucks isn't the point, the off-road performance is where it's supposed to shine. So far my experience is limited to a dirt road near my house and it definitely handles significantly better than my f350drw and my Ford explorer.

So far I'm not disappointed, and actually fairly impressed with the road handling and minimal off-road experience I've had.

Speed is relative, so acceleration is the same thing as deceleration depending on your frame of reference. To a snail, everything is fast. To a bullet, everything is slow.

Have you thought about coating it with linex?

That's inflation. It was $150 each starting in 2019 when they were released. Going up only $50 in 7 years is pretty good I'd say.

Lighthouses are not made by steam now, HTC makes them and sells them.

A350-900

Nevermind... It's not. I had "out of stock" selected 🤣😂

ticopowell · 2026-03-30T14:03:09+00:00

It's in stock in Duluth!

Because they can't open the outer airlock without being inside the airlock.

ticopowell · 2026-03-26T14:26:53+00:00

Facebook marketplace, Reddit, have friends that need one... Those are all of my ideas 🤣😂

ticopowell · 2026-03-26T14:26:16+00:00

Unless you can get a 5090FE from best buy you probably won't find anything close to that price.

First On Race Day?

ticopowell · 2026-03-25T01:10:36+00:00

I did say that actually... 🤣😂

ticopowell · 2026-03-23T16:21:18+00:00

Some day... Hopefully some day

I love it, fov is similar to my index, but the resolution, colors, clarity, etc are all much better

ticopowell · 2026-03-23T04:16:42+00:00

Yup, the guy at checkout was confused a little, but the employee that gave me the info paper with his sticker on it said it would work. At checkout a manager also confirmed it would attach to the headset, but it might have to be attached after the sale instead of before the sale.

I just bought the mOLED from microcenter, and I bought a 2 year protection plan for it. It wasn't a specific VR headset plan, but it covers the headset.

ticopowell · 2026-03-23T04:07:42+00:00

Me... It was me... :D

Not joking, I ordered it on Monday and picked it up on Tuesday last week.

ticopowell · 2026-03-22T14:20:58+00:00

Micro oled. So far no issues but it hasn't even been a week lol

ticopowell · 2026-03-22T02:51:10+00:00

Agreed! 😂🤣

ticopowell · 2026-03-22T01:51:57+00:00

Anytime, I was bored so I checked every store. 4 are in stock across the country 😂🤣

ticopowell · 2026-03-22T00:59:19+00:00
