I dunno about your state, but in Georgia, you are supposed to yield to all oncoming traffic when pulling into traffic. And you are also not supposed to hold up traffic. So if they pull out and you cream them, you should be OK.

Plus, no one can prove you were speeding anyways

 

WHAT!!! this is a street truck! go ahead and get a lift kit while your'e at it, maybe some pro-comp all terrain tires too. whatever floats your boat though. Like svt 150 said they will cause more damage. I has one on my 99 zr2 blazer. I was rear-ended and hit the car in front of me. I only would have messed up the valence and bumper, but with the baja style front bar I smashed the grille, headlights, and the top of the bar dented the crap out of my hood.

 

That guy rocks! Is that you Bob>??? -Mat-

 

I have an idea -- DONT!!

The Lightning bumper is weak and unattractive. As a matter of fact, the whole truck is ugly. No chrome anywhere. No woodgrain vinyl. Hell, it doesn't even have pinstripes.

The Lightning is also unsafe and will not survive any accident of any kind. As an attorney, I advise you to sell your Lightning IMMEDIATELY. And I mean IMMEDIATELY.

Before you put some skanky-*ss hunk of chrome on the front. Or a gun rack. Or Yosemite Sam mud flaps. Or a jumping bass sticker. Or a rebel flag. Or dubs n' spinnaz. Or anything from JC Whitney.

 

There should be some kind of taste clause included in the contract to buy a lightning.

If you're going to put neon, spinners, monster tachs, carbon fiber stickers, lightning bolt stickers, etc... on the exterior, you should be castrated and whipped.

It's a shame there are some many L owners in Florida and the ones who spend the most sometimes have the least taste.

 

Do any of you think you might have been suckered? C'mon, this guy is a poser through and through and you guys just kept feeding him. He has 7 posts and just joined and this is his first question about modding.

 

I've got an idea. When somebody pulls out in front of you, take your foot off the accelerator and apply the brakes. I've been driving tractor trailers for 13 years now. I have had people pull out in front of me daily. I haven't hit anyone yet. Learn to expect people to do stupid ***** and you'll see it coming long before it happens. As an ex-MP, with the superhuman driving skills taught by the military, you should have no trouble with such a simple maneuver as slowing the hell down when it's necessary. Just a suggestion.

 

 

no, Speeding Bob is a sweatsuit kind of guy...

 

Arrrrghhh ... MY EYES !!!!

Mr. Skelton, are you available for a retainer case?

<grin>

 

Tim, don't be too hard on an old man:

No one said anything about mounting a push bar to a bumper. Someone started a topic about mounting it to the frame. And I think someone wanted one that didn't stick up too far past the bumper because their hood might get crumpled.

a poser? please fill me in sometime.

It does get kinda old when you have to slam on brakes for some grandma that pulls out in front of you, or like today, when a university teacher slammed into my L..... I"m glad this topic got some attention...unfortunately, very little has been creative. Like this:

"There should be some kind of taste clause included in the contract to buy a lightning. If you're going to put neon, spinners, monster tachs, carbon fiber stickers, lightning bolt stickers, etc... on the exterior, you should be castrated and whipped."

So please, stick to the topic. It isnt' that hard is it......
Oh btw, I did survive my little accident today,

Well I think as ford's truck performance flagship that lightnings should be tastefully modified.

 

Well, Mr. Nodine, make up your mind. Is it style you want? Or is it functionality?

Well, let's make it easy. Nothing that's not mounted on shock absorbers is going to have a meaningful impact in an impact. Functionality -- not.

The consensus is that any sort of chrome doodad on the front will be an affront to the good designers at Ford. Style -- not.

Would a cowcatcher snag on the speed bumps going into the trailer park?



Is that "creative" enough for you?
