Arabian Raptors!
Just wanted to share with you guys...
I am working on a car carrier shipping vehicles overseas. Mostly BMW's, military supplies, and crap sedans. However, my boss came running up to me the other day (me, being known as the ships Ford expert!) babling about some SVT trucks in some cargo hold. I was thinking they must have been saleens or Rousch, having completely forgotten about the Raptor. Sure enough we took a walk up to 11 deck and found about a half dozen Raptors all huddled up to each other in a corner! All supercab 6.2's. I was going to snap a pic to post here, but working too many hours has got the best of me. So, camels and American servicemen bewarned...there are Raptors roaming the dunes of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait! I just hope these suckers don't get 50 cal's mounted on them!

Sweet dude. I was in Kuwait last month, and I was blown away by the cars in the neighborhoods. It was like Kia, Kia, Toyota, Maserati, Chevy, Lamborghini, Kia, Mazda, Ferrari. Just sitting dusty in the carport like it was nothing. I'm glad that some high-end American cars are heading over - I mean, we buy enough of their oil, they should be buying some of our stuff!

Hummmmm ...
A couple of weeks ago I was at the local ( Grand Rapids MI ) FoMoCo dealership and was looking over a Raptor that they had in stock in the back of their lot.
Sales person came-out and noted that it was already spoken-for and destined for Saudi Arabia.

Ya, its amazing seeing the cars over here. Its also funny that they claim to hate our western culture, yet all drive Corvettes, Harleys, and Mustangs. TruckGuy...I'm from the North Shore area...can usually be found in Peabody area drinkin' beers and wrenchin' on race cars! (unfortunatly, usually LS1's)
