Dude. Just stop posting about guns. You’re making yourself look like an idiot. A 7.62x39 won’t put a bullet “through an engine block”. The pattern of a shotgun at legal self-defense distances doesn’t buy you the ability to hit with a miss. And, a .17 HMR is not a prime SD choice. Just stop. I...

When I did RA, there was one other drive-in, and I was right behind him in the Fluhoax check line. I didn’t realize what it was at the time, but the only thing I noticed right away was that it was a little taller than my truck and had painted accents on it... and that something just looked a...

Nice. Your photographer got a lot more creative than ours. There wasn’t much for panoramic shots like on your post. That said, we had a comical moment that didn’t show up in our pics. Your first pic, with the two separate groups of trucks up on top of the flat peak with the water eroded...

Have fun, and be sure to make the most of your time with the instructors. At least speaking for Drew and Donny, they actually do give a shit about your experience and what you learn. When they’re talking to you, listen. It’s not just pre-canned BS. When you stop, don’t just sit in the truck...

Installed in the hotel parking lot tonight. All hardware present and perfect fit. Those ammo cans will be much less unruly on the rest of the drive home. Thanks again, @dixonk ETA: I came through early. He didn’t sell it out from under the guy he was talking about. (Just didn’t want to leave...

If you have the chance, you absolutely have to do it. The instructors were absolutely great, and stayed engaged the entire time. They constantly gave real-time feedback to the individual drivers. Even if you’re an advanced off-road driver, I’m confident every one of us could learn something...

Same here. Cool part with my job is that it often involves setting up and maintaining targets. Invariably, when it’s rainy or a rough range, everyone looks at the dude with the Raptor to run targets. I never push back until one of them “offers” to drive. With this mileage in my career, I know...

What did I do today? Parked my Raptor here so I could beat up on someone else’s for the day.

I gotta say, the painted flares and bumpers look ghey as phuk, but the blue accents on the rear logo and side graphics look awesome. Takes it back from rainbow-parade to bi-curious, at least.

You did it to yourself, Holmes.

I’ve got this OCD thing that I can’t leave a parked car without giving the door handle a tug to make sure it’s locked. I use a lot of rentals and the auto-unlock key fobs have caused me more than a few autistic-screech moments. (BTW; you know the difference between a Raptor and a Rental...

Forget about the $76,000 for a truck with a single faulty module. I’d be hella-pissed about buying even a $10 keyboard that didn’t include shift or period keys. Imnotsayin. Imjussayin.

I think you’re being naive. Us non-tards see a Biden sticker and just chuckle. The other side can smell a Trump sticker for 100 miles. TDS is like a zombie disease; it retards parts of the brain, but enhances other senses. Some snowflake from Omaha could have smelled your MAGA and wandered all...

The ironic thing is that the OP’s truck looks “detailed” other than the mud on the tires, and the splash on the side. Mine has gotten worse just driving targets to the berm in my back yard. I wouldn’t necessarily call that off-roading. Here’s mine, last week, 12 miles from the nearest...

Lots of us do. Why do you care? I put over 100 OR miles on mine last week. If you put less on yours last week, you should just get it detailed and sell it so no one thinks you’re a poser.

No. Why? You need me to drive you to Chicago? If so, you know what to do. ...just start another thread.

Oh, shit. Don’t know why I saw the K in there. I believe I’d have made it at least a $100 car and put new pads on it.

How was a $50k / 200k mile Accord “low on power”? I’m assuming that the last $45k of the purchase price was accounting for a turbo so big it had to be mounted in the trunk, and about $25k worth of carbon fiber.

Comm check, @911 Crazy !!! That dude you left your Raptor with for the first 4 months to do all those mods before delivery is trying to sell yer shit out from under you. You need to get your ass out to Chiraq most ricky-tick and pick that thing up before some South Side baller gets your truck.

Just. Wow.

I just found this one in the stack. Look at where the guardrail ends. That’s some We-in-Colorado,-hold-my-beer type bullshit, right there.

Oh. Well there you go. I just locked out gears, but I think that was the ticket. Even on the Pike’s grades, 1st gear topped out at about 18mph/3500ish rpm. 2nd gave me another 10mph or so. Brakes only came on when I told them to.

I’m with @SSWIM on the guardrails. That’s part of the experience. What’s descent mode? Is that the low-speed trail cruise control thing?

Yep, and a Civic would be a much less nerve racking drive. A lighter, smaller vehicle would be much more forgiving. Being an East-coaster, Pike’s is a bit more intimidating than a normal “mountain road”. Look at the reflection in my side view; there was like 8” between the white line and...

The toll booth operator mentioned that you had to stop at Mile 16, and take a shuttle... mask... Covid... blah blah blah. I told her I couldn’t wear a mask... **** Covid... HIPPA... blah blah blah, and she gave me a summit pass. I’ll admit that I was nervous on the way up, just trying to...
