wRecked Raptors - Official Thread

[jeffers]

Some day, I'm definitely going to be taking the control arms and drive shafts off of a wrecked RR. Probably have to put wheel spacers on the rear.

$33K, WTF

$33K, WTF

Agreed - WTF
The dealer in Florida that now has it probably paid around $5-8K+ at auction + maybe $7K in minimal repairs, and are now are trying to sell for a profit. (just guessing)
Might make a fun project car for someone if they could snag it for $15K or less. Parting it out could result in close to or more than that?

Distracted drivers.

This thread should be renamed “wRecked Raptors”.

I get a big kick watching new car commercials, all the ads show miscellaneous shitboxes driving at full speed “offroad”, AKA on smooth, dry, heavily groomed dirt roads or wide open lake beds. Not a rock or tree in sight…. Once you leave hard ground, common sense has to take over. These RRs are deceptively fast and require a certain amount of restraint and your full attention.

LOL, I have been reading about the new Ford tune, maybe that mod is not so wise.

What can be really bad is catching a rut like that and flipping the truck.

They don't do pick a part anymore?

Well, mine isn't wrecked, but a driver going same direction changed lanes and sideswiped me at low speed. My running board sure did a number on the other vehicle (very rough surface).
Mine - Possible minor dent with scuff on the driver's-side passenger door, gouges in the running board, and scratches/scuff on the fender flare.
door just needs PPF removed and possible paintless dent repair and minor buffing, then re-apply PPF and ceramic coats.
fender flare to be replaced with no parts availability and no ETA.
Running board arrives in 7 days.
Biggest cost item is around $2K for just one running board.
Other driver has insurance and actually admitted fault and admitted it when I had my phone video/audio recording our conversation - MN is a one-party consent state. Sent everything to my insurance and their insurance said they will pay, including my deductible.
