red00lght Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 You guys are the best! I hope the Lightning forums have good people like this one does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyfire Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Is the interior nicer than our SSs? the interior looks nicer IMO, but the fit & finish isn't any better. congrats on the L. i'd still have mine if it had a back seat and didn't get stuck in 2" of snow.

desertss Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 FORD Funky Old Reworked Dodge i'd rather push my SS dragging a DODGE behind me than drive a FORD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanass Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Very nice looking Lightning. The color combo is sick, I had a 98 'Stang GT with a similar paint config on the hood. But I would loose the stickers in the back window and the "supercharged" emblems/stickers on the doors. IMO the little "Lightning" badge on the fender is more than enough warning. So what plans do you have for the new whip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashSS Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Congrats man, Love the color its definatly a head turner for sure, I have nothing against ford or dodge but personally I would have much rather gotten a Harley Davidson F150 for that kinda money but very nice either way.

Prestoar Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I got a buddy that just sold a L last summer and he misses it so much....very nice trucks...but not the all around family truck that the SSS can be if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red00lght Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 It is kinda funny (but not unexpected) to see a bit of hatred pour out about Fords. I've owned alot of Fords and Chevys and I like them both. I know that isn't PC. I still can't go the Dodge route however. Too much plastic, and too ugly. Nash SS--I did look at the HD F-150, but that body style doesn't seem to be aging as well as the Lightning. The steering wheel in that truck looks like something out of a school bus. Also, the L can fit in my little garage and if my wife needs to drive it, she doesn't feel like she is driving a huge truck. MontanaSS---I agree with you. The previous owner went a little crazy with all the badging and stickers. He was a graphic designer and actually made the supercharged side emblems himself. In fact, he even had more stickers in the glovebox if I so desired! Time to get out the goo gone! As for plans...I'm not sure. Maybe powder coating the wheels black?

H8R Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I really like the Truck.! Sweet man! Beware of the Trannies though!... IF YOU RUN IT @ THE TRACK MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE THE OD ON!
