Texas to Socal to Texas - New '17 Raptor

[jdholder]

Hi! I'm Jon, a new member from Southern California.

We just bought a New to Me 2017 Magnetic Raptor in Texas. We closed on our new house at noon, then bought the Raptor at 1pm and drove back to SoCal to get ready for our move to Texas. Lot's of reasons to buy a Texas car, not the least of which is $57.50 registration - but reality is that Texas is where I found the truck I wanted.

It's a 2017 Magnetic, 802a package - no graphics, no pano roof.

I know the rule here is Pics, or you really own a Prius, so here it is! Pardon a couple of CarMax pics - but at least I have one of my own from when we got back to Irvine.

Looking to enjoy this truck with some minor mods along the way.

Thanks for the cool community!

@MurderedOutSVT was quicker on the draw.
Welcome to FRF

Eh. I thought we didn’t allow that anymore.

We closed on our new house at noon, then bought the Raptor at 1pm and drove back to SoCal to get ready for our move to Texas.

I know that’s against .gov’s executive order. We’re full and no longer admitting New Yawkers or Californians. We will need to see your papers.
I fully expect those papers ... will not be in order...
Seriously, I hear New Mexico is great.

a true Unicorn. good score. Leadfoot owners are super jealous of Magnetic trucks. You heard it here first.

ok, this guy can’t be that bad.

Seriously? Look, I admit I was born in Hollywood, Kalifornistan, which is the intersection of S0d0m and Gomorrah. And even the Hi Dez has become an armpit. But seeing what Austin has become on your watch? It's like West Hollywood, (except the guys there wearing chaps can actually ride). I'm looking at SD, where land is cheaper, property taxes are cheaper, the governor is easy on the eyes, and not as many are moving to.

I rest my case

Maybe we can get it renamed to East Hollywood?
