Ok - so while I was away on rotation and my wife's car is out of registration because it's waiting for a part from the dealer, my dear wife decided it was better to drive the Raptor to and from work as well as many other errands to avoid getting ticketed for out of date registration.

Anyway, some of the streets here in the older parts of Sacramento are not really wide enough for two full-size cars to pass each other in opposite directions while cars are parked on the side of the road, especially when you consider the Raptor's larger stance. Soooo... Long story short (even tho she is not technically at fault), she swiped past a Prius and took out its mirror and bumper:

And what about my most precious possession? Well, the Raptor faired quite a bit better with only a slight scratch to the right rear plastic fender...

Yeah - no joke - no damage to really worry about. I mean, other than my dear, lovely wife's near-death experience... From me. LOL.

Let's just say that she will not be driving the Raptor without my expressed permission any time soon...

Are you sure the tire didn't get slightly scuffed? Looks like it almost ran over the hood of the prius. lol.

Would love to have seen that in action. The irony in swiping a Prius of all cars is fantastic. Glad the Raptor is ok as well as the wifey LOL!

The sidewall of the tire does show signs of "rubbing" as if it had rubbed a curb and there was a smudge of white paint (about 2" long x 1/2" wide) on the ring of the "bead lock" rims, but it wiped right off...
