NICE (fake) Lightning in Charleston SC tuesday night...anyone here?

I hate to call it a fake because it borrowed no cue's from a Lightning, other than it was a blacked out 97-00 short bed F-150 with sitting LOW with a lightning like front clip.

Anyway...this thing ROCKED!!!!! I was in a bar with a live band playing very loud...and I just heard this nervous type rumble. I look out the window to see a Lightning like truck sitting very low, just barely covering up a set of HUGE street slicks (?ET streets?) and skinnies up front, on weld draglights or similar. Anyway, this truck had a MEAN lumpy nasty burble.

If it was anyone here, I was the drunk that stumbled out of Wild Wings, and walked in front of your truck looking like I was going to come up and ask you about it...but was too drunk to bother!

Anyone have any info on what this truck has under the hood?

Whip,

Your in town, and didn't even ask me to come have a drink.

If your not doing anything Saturday, you should head down to Carolina Dragway. We should be leaving Charleston early Saturday morning.

Wow, thats quick! I just shot you an email. Drinks anytime!
978-317-1773 if your looking to go out for a drink or three. In my email I said I was picking up my truck this weekend, but I couldn't get a flight on short notice, so I'll be around. I won't be able to make Carolina dragway this weekend (even in a rental car) as we just pulled into the ship yard, and have some crazy work going on.
Later,
Aaron

Don...If you guys are staying over, or plan on stopping for dinner or something...gimmie a shout with as much advanced notice as you can. I'm right outside of Charleston. We should most definitely have a drink if your around!

As far as where your going...I'm pretty isolated out from the latest events. Hmmm, I'd say you missed JDM by a few exits, so that leaves FFW in florida? That must be coming up soon, right?

My guess is:
Bike Week @ Daytona.

If you guys are getting together in Charleston let me know, I'll be in Flordia Tuesday and Wendsday next week, and back in Charleston on Thursday.

Kind off topic but I was driving home and this white f150 extcab pulled up next to me. It had an L front end and SC HD badges on it. What really got me was that it had the supercharged ones yet the guy was still running a stock exhaust. I wanted to ask him about it, but we didnt end up in the same pace and the rain prevented me from rolling my window down.
