Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
OK...I must be really sick.
As some of you know, I have already owned two Lightnings, a Silver 2000 and a Red 2002.
I traded in the Red 02 becasue of fears of launching plugs, thrown rods, and other such fun surprises that numerous 02 owners were experiencing....
I thought I had gotten over my midlife crisis and went back to a good old sedate Lexus LS430, which is quite charming and comfortable, and perfect...
But everytime I see a Lightning I get all excited, and anxious, and just like a little kid....and I think...screw the luxury car, I'm trading it in and getting a 04 Dark Shadow Grey Lightning...
I see this and get all weak...
All my frineds cry out "NO!!!!!!" Don't get another Lightning!!!!!"
My best freind says "I don't understand your fascination with this truck!"
I must be sick...it's the only thing that can explain me wanting another one.

How obsessed am I?
Well, I couldn't find any pictures of a DSG Lightning that I liked, so I took this pic of a Sonic Blue one....
Changed the color, got rid of the car show in the back ground, created the SVT Logo Pillar, Changed the lighting to make the grey stand out more.....
I've got it bad....
and I've evidently got a lot of time on my hands.

Within a 50 mile radius, there are 39 Lightnings listed in the online inventory of those dealers...
The breakdown is as follows:
Black.........9
Dark Shadow Grey.....11
Silver.....8
Red.....4
White.....5
Sonic Blue....2
It's not like they're hard to get, which means I could start a bidding war.....
Hummmmmmmm

I know about the headlights...when I took the blue out it didn't look right. This way they looked more crystal like.
Here, let me help!

Holy SHHIT! got lightnings? I had to look for 2 months to find one in Mass. Only two dealers allowed to sell them in Mass that i know of and both only had one a piece when i finally tracked them down. You guys are lucky you have such a large variety to choose from......they basically laughed at me when i starting bargaining with them about price. haha it was worth it.
