Traded the Lightning !!

Went to the dealership today to get a part for a job im doing and left without my lightning and drove home a 03 F250 6.0 supercab. Red in color and absolutly the best move I have ever made. This thing hauls a$$. Towing my cobra with the lightning was very hard on the truck and numerous blown enignes, plugs and transmissions had pushed me over the edge. Now i need to get me a JLP chip for it some bigger wheels and tires and im set. !!

Best of Luck with the New Ford lightning00n93cobra

I'm sure it'll give you piece of mind, it's a much better tow vehicle, AND WON'T spit motors and trannys like the L did I'm sure.

BTW
I almost traded the L and drove home in a Z06 yesterday, and still might ???
They got one Z06 left for $599.00 a month, w only $599.00 down.

They gave me almost 22k for my 01 with 33k hard hard miles on it. Bought the truck on a plan so it was really a no brainer.

now, now Rob,

The first time a L leaves you at a stop light you will regret getting that z06


lightning00n93cobra,
congrats on the new truck. Sounds like a good move.

That new 6.0 diesel is great. My old man has the 03 King Ranch 250 and I raced him from both a dead stop and a rolling start and he crushed my '01 Ext Cab 5.4 F-150 that I had at the time(wont hang with the new L though...). Those rigs amaze me-great choice.

With a nasty fast Cobra, there's no need for two race vehicles. Good move!

Damn! 600 a month with 600 down? How are the trade in's at that chevy dealership? If they are half of what my trucks worth I will drop every statement I've said about trucks and be roarin in a new Z06.

And yes, someone said you would be sorry when you loose to an L at a light. My question to him is:
Have you ever driven a vette?
I would miss the L. Preferabley I would have both.
600 a month? My paid by the hour, manual labor, ignored by them Koreans, *** could afford that.

Damn, that deal is too good. I'm having a seizure. Perhaps when it stops I will have a new Z06.
