Raptor`s 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine will generate 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. That`s 39 horsepower and 76 pound-feet of torque more than the outgoing generation`s 6.2-liter V8

That`s pretty cool but having played with 365 horse versions of these a bit by way of tuner, various exhaust pieces etc. These little engines are easy to get another 50 - 75 horses without even thinking hard. That may be pretty much what they did to get them up to the 450 number. Love to try some more entailed upgrades to intercooler and downpipes etc. I think that there is a lot left in them without ever actually touching the turbos.

Yeah, but if you try and put anything in the aluminum bed other than some pots of pansies - you may poke a hole in it.

I dunno...plenty of people function quite well despite being addicted to really potent opiates as long as they can get their fixes (e.g., cancer patients). I myself would legalize *every drug* and let (adult) people make their own decisions about such stuff so LE/courts can focus on crimes that actually involve victims.

Nice libertarian stance there
I agree, let natural selection run wild!

My initial view is yours but the problems is these people just do not do it quietly (kill themselves off) as with the case of the husband and wife that OD on heroin with a child in the car. They end up messing up others lives as well in many ways (stealing, endangering or killing others such as drunk driving). I do not think possession of drugs should mean prison which insures they are life time criminals when you see people of actual violent crimes get off.
