Sir Soap,

You've helped a bunch of folks out. Don't be a stranger.

remain calm, focus on the new homestead to park the 05, and MOST IMPORTANTLY..... nurse the Jager in your time of misery, or something.

Cheers,

Bob

 

1 more for Alabama. Now i need to figure out where athens is so i can finally see this truck in person.

Soap i saw where you where looking at buying a 6pound pulley in the classifieds on NLOC what is it going on?

 

Real feeling of emptyness is going to set in, I know after mine was wrecked and after I started to recover eventhough I was in the hospital I felt really empty knowing the L was finished

 

And also in time of happiness

 

Jager will help for sure!!!

 

hey soap if u don't mind me asking. what was the guys name that bought your L. i go right next to athens a pretty good bit and i might can get in touch with him. i would like to see the L. and talk a lightning talk with him,

 

Soap, Buddy, Joe,
Say it aint so

You'll always be my Lightning Brother,
and in 05 we'll be Gen 3 Brothers

Stick around; you never know when GIGI will pop in,
I'm dieing to find out more about those mystery fuses

 

I know the guy that boought it very well, dont worry fellows it is in good hands. I can pretty much assure you it will be raced. He and I have been talking for the past week about part that could be purchased for it, and I beleive he already has a nitours kit ready for it.

Maybe he will be the one to get Chickn off his a$$ and racing again.



There is getting to be so many Lightnings around here, I might have to reconsider buying the 03 Cobra.

 

Joe,

that is sad news indeed, but I am sure the time will go quickly, and you will have another L soon. remember if you're ever in the New England area to give me a shout, and I will be more than happy to give you a ride in my truck, and although its not black, the shifts should feel about the same!

 

Don't worry about Joe. He's a strong guy, besides he got his Ranger to putt around in

 

How'd that Ivory jingle go??? 99.41% pure. Just like your truck man, you are pure cool. See ya around.

 

Guys......thanks for all the kind words. It was sad to see it go since I put so much hard work into it but that's OK. I was happy with it while I owned it, and that's all I could ask for.

To answer a few questions......

builtfordfast: I am sure I'll see you around at events and I hope those Truck Traks work as well for you as they did for me.

Brian Baskin: No he didn't drive up but his 2 friends did. That is my house in the background so ya they picked it up right out of the garage.

Speedy/Gator: I have already drown my sorrows but I am sure this weekend will bring the same

LatemodelRacer2: I "reserved" the pulley for my buddy who wants one.

teblmm/Injector Dude: The guys name is Jackie, I won't mention his last name just because I'm a nice guy He is a huge drag racer from what I understand so the truck will be going back down the 1320 real soon.

TZRLightning01: That valve body has seen 12.2's so do it proud

--Joe

 

I don't want to congratulate you, because I know how hard a decision it must have been.

I'm going through the same thing right now. I can't bear to part with it, but financially I look at what it's costing me per month to sit in the garage for half the year. I took an SVT Focus out for a spin last night. Half the power and half the payment. The handling and 6 speed were most impressive. It would mean changing my quest for the 12's to my quest for the 14's. I just don't know...

 

I went and looked up where athens is. It is about 1 hour away from me. Maybeee we will meet someday.

 

You might be onto something there, for 1/2 the payment

Joe, this sunday watching the Bucs win the superbowl, I'll raise a toast in your honor
