Did you ever buy something you don't need..but the deal is too good to pass up

[1971demon]

Can you get the VIN? It can be checked from that, at least the sticker.

I'll get it @ some point..dudes gotta lot on his plate right now..

The closest thing we have is a guy that has a RE..a HC..and a Saleen Mustang that he bought when he didn't know any better...

Most car guys like all models that are cool.

Wow this thread is wandering...

Sorta like that kung foo guy on that TV show back in the day

Me being the Ford guy and have held out buying a TRX but actually did try to get one a few months ago. Little too salty still but damn being Raptor owner and seeing the new Raptor R what a joke. The Raptor R base price starts at 109k😳. The TRX bang for the Buck blows away the Raptor R. Beyond believable and the TRX is for sure the better investment and value. So yes Demon man pick her up cause she will always have nice value. And the Raptor R in some ways gave the TRX a raise.

The most difficult part of this for me is,,I have a firm belief that no man should have more than one wife...one lawn mower..one watch..one toothbrush...or one pickup...

I have to disagree on a lot of those

One lawnmower. check.

One watch. check.

I got two toothbrushes. damn.

Does it matter if the wives belong to other men and you're just borrowing them intermittently?

I got some leeway here, not having a wife and not wearing a watch.

Also in my favor is that I only have one pickup. The 3500 has a flatbed. Oh, the M1008 used to be a pickup, but while I still have the bed, it was removed years ago.

Now, my girlfriend not only has lots of watches, but also two pickups. No wife, though.

After both I felt the raptor was the better off road truck and the ram was the better on road truck, I would rather have the better on road truck because realistically how often are people who buy these trucks going off road?

Of the 10-20% buyers who actually go off road the trucks will spend 75-85% of their mileage on road.

Exterior - toss up ( I like both)

Exhaust - trx (raptor sounds good, like a gtr but hellcat exhaust note is one of the best stock exhausts imo) Raptor R probably makes me change my mind.

Interior - I'll give the edge to ford, layout is better and more physical buttons

Tech - trx surprisingly has hud/digital rearview mirror.... cmon ford catch up

Performance- trx on the road and raptor off the road.

Price - no brainer trx, especially since my 95k sticker was 82k + taxes and fees.

When so many claimed that they spent some 50% of their mileage off road, I started keeping track of my Jeep's road vs. trail percentage.

Well, in my case the trail mileage was a disappointingly low 10% or so. That's with a vehicle that was built specifically for trail usage and always trailered to camp/trail head.

Yet it makes sense. When it can take 12 hours to go 10 miles on a trail it's hard to compete with driving for 20 minutes on a road and racking up 20 miles that way.

YEAH IT MATTERS!! That's how this thread got started in the first place!
By the way I'm screwed I have multiple riding mowers, watches and tooth brushes! I do only have one wife and one truck though! I would however have two trucks if I could find a great deal on a TRX

Yeah exactly, it's the same thing with the track cars ,I'll take a gt3 over a gt3rs all day if push comes to shove, obviously I want the rs but realistically most owners get 1-2 days of track time per month in the summer and that's if they religiously use it and many parts of the country can't use a track from November to february anyway. Outside of the value perspective the gt3 will drive better on the regular roads because of the way its set up, same argument could be made for the demon versus the hellcat, outside of the availability/being rare the hellcat is better suited for roads than the demon or super stock.

To put it bluntly, People are just dumb and conditioned to buy stuff they don't need or won't really use to the full extent, obviously if you have the means to not care Don't but lots of people just waste money.

you don't have to use any of those at the same time. I have 2 snow shovels for example. One for moving a lot of snow when it is lighter and another that is mostly used at the end of the driveway being the snow is more compact from the plow going through.

Some people use a riding mower but in certain places have to use a push mower

I could go on but you may get the picture
