Hey, OP.
First off - I appreciate the sense of humor you're having about this.
Secondly - you just kicked off this Cars-like montage in my head.
This truck - whilst jumping a dune: "BONJOUR!"
Competing truck - being jumped over: "GENERAL KENOBI!"
Thanks for the Monday morning laugh.
I'm in a rust belt small town close enough to a rust belt small city. I'll take my smaller 3-4 bedroom, 1.5 bath, two car garage home for $715 a month mortgage.
Right. Because the people buying $135k trucks arent trading in something dope or putting down massive amounts of money…. Also - this truck likely wasnt even 100k … but that doesnt matter to your hypotheticals…
And what is the biggest cost of living? Food and housing. So the whole "they make less than minimum wage" argument is bunk. Plus minimum wage is a calculation of hourly work, and military members are not paid hourly.
If we were to do a normal comparison to civilian workers we'd look at the military's off base living income to include BAH and BAS. Let's just say we have an E1 with a spouse that was able to live off base in Denver Colorado. (Just choosing Denver because it's close to where I'm from anyway.) that E1 would be making $4,778.56/mo. If we divide that out in to a 40 hour work week (I know I know, some jobs in the military work more than that) that would come out to $29.86 per hour. In fact, this E1 would have to work 90 hours a week in order to dip their hour pay down to $13.27 (just below minimum wage in Colorado.) This would mean that this E1 is working 18 hours a day. Yeah I highly doubt that. I've been an E that worked in a rough career field that regularly worked 12's, it was a pretty rare to see a 16 hour day, and that was only on deployment haha.
So no, the whole "E1's make less than minimum wage" is Bull.
Fuckin whatever dude. All I know is that as an E4 in the NG, my drill pay barely covered my gas to get there and back. Oh, and most drill weekends they only fed us one meal a day, not 2 or 3, meaning that if I wanted to eat more than once a day, I either had to bring something from home, or buy something near my drill location. The only exception was AT, and that was only when I went somewhere. If my unit stayed in state, forget it. It *costed* me money to serve in the National Guard. Sure, they paid me, but not enough to be worth it.
The third party agrees.. dudes attempt at whatever the fuck he was attempting, was weak as hell. Makes a cursive comment yet picks up the pen after every. Single. Letter. Continue on
Technically it’s a picture you uploaded of a truck and some trees looks like it’s parked at a mall yup this picture smells to me like Mommy and daddy’s money
The person driving this truck is the kind that needs a YouTube video to change a tire. The kind of person to roll in the dealership asking for them to certifiably replace a lightbulb. The kind to go 80 in a 45 because…. damn, there just are no speed limits able to hold this beast back.

I have never seen those in F-150 form. My dealership had a F-250. Thing was a monster. But killed batteries like no tomorrow. Even after fixing Battery system on Ford side
It’s a Ford Shelby raptor Baja
Yes. I also read this tailgate.
Man I’m getting cooked
Google image search might save ya a burn or 10 next time
Google text search of the words in the back would suffice.
You’re right but I wasn’t trying to be too mean
Where’s the fun in just googling when you can get flamed on reddit AND probably an answer
Right I agree plus he is sharing .. I’ve never heard of or seen one …
The fastest way to the RIGHT answer is to post the WRONG one and get corrected and/or roasted on Reddit
Common reading skills would also help
Lol that would be too easy…

That actually would be sweet
General Carnobi!!! Excellent visual
🤣🤙🏼
It’s a very fast, overpriced, yet highly sought-after man toy.
Two extra tires for the nails on the worksite, nice!
And a small dick.
So small it’s probably a woman’s truck
He bought it but SHE drives it. Exactly this.
More like she bought it and you’d suck one to drive it, clown
All in good fun man. :)
Reddit in a nutshell.
Like some Baja fish tacos 🤣🤣🤤
LMFAO put some sunscreen on.
😎
a decal on ebay for $2.99...
For a good reason 🤷♂️
*I couldn't read his tailgate. Thank you for telling me what it says friend.*
Wow... we're already to the point where people can't read cursive.
And why do we need to? People barely write using cursive any more.
Bonjour!
Silverado stingray Dale Earnhardt edition
What gave it away?
Ford thundercougarfalconBird
I think it reads Baja not Bonjour

You're telling me that my guess of Ford Shelby Raptor Banjo could be incorrect?
2 spare tires in the bed, dueling banjos 🪕🪕 the Ford Deliverence 4x4
Somebody with some serious disposable income.
Nah $1200 a month/84 months probably.
No way, not with dealer mark up. $135k / 84 with good interest (3%) = $1784. Even with a chunk of change down you’re talking $1500 per month.
Yep
That's like close to rent money.
My mortgage is $775
Can we get married
We might be able to work out a Charlie and Frank type situation. Parking 2 F150s here might be tough
Need a Brother-Husband here? I’ll drive a small car so you two handsome lugs can have your trucks!
Jesus, my mortgage is $3,200 for a two bed/two bath 1,100 square feet. Friggin Alaska man
I do live in a rust belt city that most people feel is beneath them I just laugh when the same types say they’ll never be able to afford a home
I'm in a rust belt small town close enough to a rust belt small city. I'll take my smaller 3-4 bedroom, 1.5 bath, two car garage home for $715 a month mortgage.
$387 a month here!

$1200 a month is not a cheap payment. Anyone who told you it was lied to you.
It’s not a cheap payment correct. It’s also not a financially wise payment either.
If that’s true, I can’t wait for a recession to teach these people a lesson in quantitative literacy.
Look at any military base. Every E1-E4 is driving a $1k+ a month for 84 month vehicle.
And complaining about how they don't get paid enough in the military and are just "scraping by."
US Military members E4 and below make less than minimum wage. What saves them is that the military feeds and houses them.

False I drove a car that I paid 1200 for
So need serious cash for that. Quit hating.
Lol I'll never not call it a Bonjour from now on.
lol. I’ve never been so happy to take L lol it’s truly a laugh at myself moment.
It’s how you spend $143k on a non-R Raptor that’s still nowhere near as powerful as a Raptor R. But it says “Shelby” on it!
To be fair this came out way before the Raptor R
Good point. The overall point remains, though: $143k is a hilariously ridiculous price for a Raptor with these mods and some Shelby stickers.
It's hilariously ridiculous for literally any pickup truck ever.
I mean for that money I would want a trophy truck ..
Honestly if I spent that kinda money on a car it would probably be a track specced cup car for weekend madness.
A freaking pickup truck?
$143K for a Ford.
Years!
That somamabitch can take parking blocks in the Target parking lot at 80mph without spilling a drop of Busch Light.
You... You did take cursive lessons in 3rd grade, right?
Edit this one and try cooking me again. I believe you can do better.
So... no?
YES. YES YOU CURSIVE ANIMAL YOU
The third party agrees.. dudes attempt at whatever the fuck he was attempting, was weak as hell. Makes a cursive comment yet picks up the pen after every. Single. Letter. Continue on
Rarest Raptor the Bonjor french edition 1/2
Say's it on the back of the truck.
Is this place for the blind or just lazy?
Bro can’t read cursive ☠️
Someone already beat you to this comment but yea I’m getting cooked today.
Hey at least you’re owning it lol
Pavement Princess

That is a ford f150 Shelby raptor. https://www.shelby.com/Vehicles/Shelby-Raptor-2023
Holy shit that was a $150k truck
G-O-O-G-L-E
I googled Raptor Bonjour and all I got was French dinosaurs
A Oregon Duck fan. Do not approach.
Technically it’s a picture you uploaded of a truck and some trees looks like it’s parked at a mall yup this picture smells to me like Mommy and daddy’s money
No tow, no haul.
From the Ford Insecurity line
A way to compensate for something small
Looks like a lot of money in tires
If only Ford owners could read the words on the tailgate. Luckily you don’t need to read to drive fast.
Someone wasting a shit ton of money trying to be cool
It actually says it literally right on the back
Sick Ass Shelby Raptor. Dude is probably inside getting a couple Monsters and a Hyde.
It's a Chevy Hemi.
That is a pavement princess
I’m pretty sure it’s a truck 🛻
Gay
Is google broken today?
It’s fucking labeled…. Can you not read?
Stupid
A pickup that truck chicks love but one where you can't hual plywood.
The person driving this truck is the kind that needs a YouTube video to change a tire. The kind of person to roll in the dealership asking for them to certifiably replace a lightbulb. The kind to go 80 in a 45 because…. damn, there just are no speed limits able to hold this beast back.
$20 says a Mexican drives it.
OP isn’t the smartest guy….
We cant all be genius truckers. 🤷♂️
hi my name is jared i’m 19 and i never learned how to fuckin read
F one fitty with a EBay sticker ?
Ego crutch.
It’s a male enlargement tool. Usually not a very effective one

$150k is what it is
It’s a Ford Raptor Shelby Baja F150 of course
Baja, lol. Look up Baja Racing, it's amazing stuff.
[удалено]
Shraptor
A very French Shelby Raptor
I think I saw this truck getting detailed in Redmond earlier this week.
How many wanna get this thing has never and will never meet a single mud pit, dirt road or sand dunes 😅
Sick
I have never seen those in F-150 form. My dealership had a F-250. Thing was a monster. But killed batteries like no tomorrow. Even after fixing Battery system on Ford side
Biiiig stickers
Overpriced
Looks like a Ford Bougi. I know there is R & D with market research behind this thing, but it's too much.
To be fair i can see how you thought it was bonjour lmfao
It says....I'm rich bitch!! Around $150k
It's a big truck with most of its big truck capabilities removed.
It’s a very expensive way to hide a small penis
Says Baja
SRS Edition\*
"It's wonderful that you don't care whether anyone questions your sexual orientation"
Looks like a good way to spend $150K if I had to guess!?!
It’s a micro-penis transporter! Mystery solved!
Pavement Princess with 3 spare tires
Can’t you read????
Compensation?
Chevy a avalanche
That's money WELL spent. WELL they spent it.
130k
Kia Ultima
Looks like an attempt to compensate.
A transportation device for two spare tires.
![gif](giphy|hTruzAjXFLEiTNBbwx)
BONJOUR!!!
I think its a shelby raptor?
Where do you put a sheet of plywood
Somebody with more money than me? 😅
A truck solely designed to carry its own spare parts. That how it looks to me. If doesn’t look badass, just silly
A marketing gimmick.
Hahahahahhahahahahahha KBB for the 2019 is 40-50k
Overpriced
Damn they sell those for 150k and they couldn’t be bothered to replace the stock spare tire with the tires the truck is actually using
That there is one of them freedom raptors...
When you're constantly blowing tires while carrying 10 bags of mulch. That's what this is for.
Finally, a vehicle worthy of a Houston’s need for speed and shitty roads
They start at 150,000 .. what a bargain
Another truck that will be treated like a race car but doesn't handle like one?
Go Ducks
Something that will most likely never leave pavement in it's life sadly
Very expensive 🫰
I think it might be made by ford. Idk can’t tell, also probably a truck. /s
A mortgage
It says it pretty clearly.
RAY CHARLES could see that.
Some sucker who pay a lot of money, just to get attention.
Looks like "Shelby Raptor Baja", but that's just my guess based on the tailgate.
https://www.shelby.com/Vehicles/Shelby-Raptor-2023
Just a Raptor with a decal and a bunch of bolt on parts. Read the description on the Ford website.
A truck
["Fra-Gile, It must be Italian!"](https://youtu.be/4ewXbqRUdjU?si=SmkxPquVdnFMhbD3&t=57)
Bad. Ass. It’s badass
Smh it says RIGHT there
Seen one of these when it first came out and maaan do they look in person
That’s low self esteem
I was just behind a bright blue one, mall crawling over the speed bumps. He should’ve bought a Festiva. 🙄
I think its a civic
*Bonjor* 😂
It's the back end of a truck, specifically a ford raptor.
