 Motive Quick Drive: Ford F-150 SVT Raptor« »

For a native Midwesterner, desert truck racing is one of those sports to which I've had very little exposure. In fact, my experience has largely been limited to late-night episodes of Baja on ESPN, immediately following the college cheerleading finals, which I may or may not have been watching. But for those who live in the part of the country that possesses deserts — namely, the Southwestern states — desert racing is a much more common pastime. So when Ford's SVT crew was handed an all-new 2009 F-150 and told to go do their thing, they decided to sideline another Lightning-style street truck in favor of a blazing fast off-roader. The result is the F-150 SVT Raptor...

I hope to I get to test drive this thing...

Not because I want one, but because if I am able to it meant at least one of the big three survived to see the summer...

Yes Martha, you can get your new 2010 Toyota 4Runner with a 4-cylinder. As long as it's 2WD. And as long as it's with an old 4-speed automatic.

Nah, VW shows have a lot of mean-muggery and douchiness. Everyone is so much cooler than everyone else because they have the OEM Euro Douchenapkin that only comes in the Turkish Golfs made from 97-99.5.

Do people really use such tired clichés? Perhaps just in Texas?

Always remember to close all parentheses. We're not paying to air condition the entire paragraph.
