I was browsing the Internet and I found an advertisement for a Ford Raptor truck for sale by a local dealership. The ad featured this image of the truck:
The dealership was asking $147,085 for the truck. I blinked, too. Witness the below portion of the ad:
I read a few specs on the truck. It has the same size engine as my old Jeep and about the same mpg. It has 4WD, my Jeep has 4WD. The Raptor wins easily in the horsepower department. But then, it's supercharged and my old Jeep breathes regular air, so no contest.
I continued browsing and right away I stumbled upon this video, below. The same kind of truck hit the side of a tanker truck.
Careless driver? Love speed? Pay $150g AND YOUR LIFE!
Don't let that driver die for nothing. Learn from his mistake.

Holy Toledo - is that a woman? And are they alive? I've never watched anything like that but now I understand why it takes so long for crash sites to be cleaned up. Next time I will have more patience for the workers.
Surely justifications for truck pricing exists and is real, I suppose. But one must have lots of money to afford such an expensive vehicle.
It appears the truck was traveling though the intersection --so I don't know who was right or wrong.
My father had a saying ---"Do you want to be right, or do you want to be Dead right"?
Thanks for sharing -- they should show that video to people just getting their license as a requirement.
Best, LL
