[QUOTE="ineedaBubble, post: 1248148, member: 21847"] Last week/weekend ended up being pretty damn eventful for me. Some context, cliffnotes style: *I bowl on Thursday nights. *My wife was just about 9 months pregnant *I occasionally peruse Facebook Marketplace for Raptor parts So Thursday, February 15th comes up and I'm at home waiting to head to the bowling alley when I decide to check Marketplace for Raptor parts. I find some guy from Cumberland,RI (about 30 minutes from me, where my wife is from) selling a BBK cold air intake AND a Borla S Type exhaust for $250. Almost sounded too good to be true, so I reached out to confirm the price. Sure enough, the guys says he was essentially asking $250 for the exhaust and throwing in the CAI. Later that night, around 830pm, my wife calls while I'm bowling and tells me that her water broke. I get home, change and we head off to the hospital. Knowing the next 48 hours or so were going to be a whirlwind of chaos, I mention the parts to her and say that it's just too good a deal to pass up. She agrees with me, so once we get to the waiting room at the hospital, I text my buddy from my bowling team and ask if he'll meet up with the guy if I send him the cash via PayPal. Truck parts talk on pause for the time being.... Fast forward about 7 hours and we welcomed Ford Joseph DaCunha to the world (no, we did not name him Ford just because of the Raptor...as I've said in the past, I'm not a "Ford" guy, per se....I'm actually a BMW guy, if anything). We just really loved the name!
