A SHO and a Raptor...lucky!
The real lucky part is having an understanding spouse (of 30 years). She knows I love cars and has been tolerant over the years of my wandering eye in the auto department....my ONLY area of infidelity. In fact, when we bought the Raptor, we were actually looking at Expedition EL's and saw this black beast on the back of the lot. I had to look it over, so did she.... when I asked her if she could see herself driving the truck, she said "HELL YA"....game over. With the SHO, I've always loved these cars, but we were replacing a BMW 740i, and found a cherry 745Li, but it had some bugs, and I know how late-model BMW's can create an all-consuming vortex near one's wallet, so I kept looking till I found this car. The Bimmer was a B52-bomber with gobs of back seat room and the SHO is clearly a sports sedan, but we couldn't be happier or more giddy. The real test will be our quarterly jaunt to our cabin in S. Missouri and how long the SHO's legs are after 9-hours and if we can ever walk again....anyway, we are now looking at the FORD ESP Prem. plan to keep her humming for a long time. We usually don't buy aftermarket warranties, but we have ESP Prem on the F150 and it has been simply amazing how Ford stands behind the warranty. It has paid for itself several times over, including rental cars no questions asked. Can't wait to do a photo session with both the truck and car, but will probably have to wait till the spring thaw....
