No kills, no racing just a little cruise.

Took the L out, went to the local Ford dealer to check things out. They have 7 new 03s sitting on the lot. As I rumble through the lot a sales person yells over ( wanna sell her?) hell no, thanks all the same hehe. I take off with the signature whine and JDM catback growl

Pull up to a set of lights and some hottie motions for me to lower the window Ah this drive is getting better hehe.

Well as I get near home the reason for the drive in the 80 degree sunset nears. My Lightning turns 20k. What a great 20 thousand miles, the most fun I have had in any truck/car. Nearly 3 years of power fun

Just sharing with you guys, nobody else understands.

 

I feel the same way These are some great trucks.

 

I understand, and agree the most fun I have ever had with a vehical.

 

Sounds awesome, maybe some night soon I'll be able to join you. I'm thinking about transfering up there, need to get out of this town and i heard their ME program is nationally ranked fairly well. I'm gona talk to an advisor soon though, so.. but that would be cool. What colors did they have?

 

Hi Rocket.

They had blue, white, black.

We are going to head out to the strip again this Friday night. Would be great if you could come.

Won't be able to this weekend, but hopefully in mid-october for my fall brake which is the 13-14 I think, and I just signed on to your local forum. Awesome! Thanks!

 

what dealership did u go to james?
i went to rich ford to get that part and they had alot of new cobras and lightnings in the back i would say abotu 15 total

 

I enjoy my truck more every time i drive it. I have 15,600 miles on it and ive had it almost 2 years now. Just now getting the mods rolling

 

Tim, They were out front at Rich Ford

 

I understand. If I didn't I would have traded my truck in on one of the ten 03 cobras my dealership has. We've got a real nice truck. Shane

 

It's amazing at how many people stop and stare.

 

I am short a few zero's, about to turn 2000 miles and the excitement has just begun.

It is amazing how many people you catch out of the corner of your eye, drooling over our L's.

I was at the dealership this morning and half of the garage was admiring the engine bay, what a great feeling!

The only car in my past that I can remotely compare is my '99 C5 and there is something about our L's that puts them out in front!

Awesome!

D-Day

 

Me too: My favorite time of the day is at the end of MY day I get to drive twenty-five miles to pick up the kids from school. It's that time by myself, hearing the whine that puts a smile on my face. The bad part is that it brings out the ****heads. I've been cut off, flipped off, you name so often for doing nothing that it does cast a small shadow over owning the L.

I'm not a kid so no flames, but if you do 75 in a 70 zone and pass some POS whatever, they so often get pissed and will do something. I never had a problem when I was driving a Taurus, but then I'm really not complaining just stating one of the hassles thats all.

Oh yeah just filled up and got my best mileage ever. 13.8mpg. woohoo

 

Mine just turned 37k miles.... I loved it when it turned 20k..its in it's prime at that mileage...now I have almost double that....I wish I had a beater car so I could keep my truck for shows and the track only. I guess I could sell my body for extra cash...

 

I know what youre saying....My girlfriend works .25 mi away from my house, so she ends up driving the L to work while I pimp out in her 92 Cavalier on my 20 mile round trip every day....Im trying to put less than 12k a year on it, but damn thats tough!
