[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1391755, member: 21926"] So, don’t look at this for resolving a financial headache. You’re right side up on the ‘vettte, upside down on the truck. Probably a bit more so on the truck based on your post. To me, the issue here is that the current truck is modded and lots of money dumped in it and you still owe. This isn’t going to change by purchasing a Raptor. The Rap is an expensive truck and costs more than it should. Don’t get me wrong, 2.5 years in I can honestly say I’d buy Lucille all over again. What concerns me here is that it sounds to me like you’re going to create a pretty big financial hole for yourself to dig out of. Now, if you can sell the z06, dump that money on to paying for your current truck and make the financials right side up, then I’d consider the Rap. The Rap is a fantastic, do it all vehicle and it can do quite a lot of off road shenanigans really, really well. Even so, it has decent on road manners for a huge truck, could fit a family of 5 silverback gorillas in the cab while hauling a bunch of American Tourister luggage in the bed for them to destroy, in air conditioned comfort. So aside from not fitting well in garages everywhere, it’s a great substitute for SUVs with a lot more fun factor. So if you can make the money work, great, now is a good time to be Raptor shopping. But don’t use this as an excuse to make bad money decisions. HTH [/QUOTE]
