Another, "Here, hold my beer" moment!



Apparently money does not buy common sense...

If he'd pushed "Off Road" mode, his bags woulda been disabled....

She didn't fare too badly. the doors and hood still open, and it's not even that bent....Try that with any other pick up and see where you end up!

I hope the insurance agent sees this and refuses the clam. He deserves to eat it.

Raptor runs the same frame as a regular F-150 with the exception of the rear shock mounts. The Raptor has a stronger front axle and a suspension lift. F-150 with a simmilar suspension lift would have fared the same

... yeah, but Bo and Luke spent a little less on that "stupid" that Biff-Jo-Bob did on his "stupid." Bodily injury/Natural Selection set aside, that second jump makes $50K more sense to me. ;)

Re: Ford Raptor jumps 90 feet

I nominate that guys for the president of the "More Money Than Brains Club"...I love watching people destroy their trucks/cars/boats when they actively make bad decisions. Mistakes are one thing, but to deliberately attempt to "be cool" they end up carnage, makes me shake my head and facepalm...

Yes, I've been a member of the same club (When I was younger).
