Bill, sorry to see you selling the truck, but I understand it for sure. Mine will be going up for sale shortly as well. Things change, priorities change, and sometimes that means selling off things that once brought you joy. I know you have other toys that will keep you happy, and you also have other priorities that will also keep you happy. Good luck and don't be a stranger, you are always welcome here, and I think I speak for everyone on that.

 

Good people like you are hard to come by. Keep in touch.

Just a reminder though....... from the first JDM day at E-town

There was a time when I had a faster truck than you. But it was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away!

Got a knife?

Bill I understand your reasons, but it is a sad day.

I remember when we were both Virgins


One his first ever runs in his truck


You know as long as I own my truck, you will allways have a truck to run. Well at least once in a while.

 

Wow! Had I known, I would've purchased your truck instead of my True Blue!

Just out of curiosity, how much do trucks with built motors go for on the used market?

 

Bill, sorry to hear that you are selling your truck.

I'm sure it's all for the best.

Good luck to you in the future.

We enjoyed having you around here, and your truck is simply awesome.

stop back and visit as often as you can.

take care.

sincerely,
chris haynie

 

I couldn't agree more...

I remember that day... First Lightning event ever for me...

Bill, take care - don't be too much of a stranger around here...

 

dang that sux...one sweet ride you had.

also another question, why would Sal be selling his truck, didnt you just get it running again with the new f-1r, Sal? why sell?

 

Bill,

It's been great knowing ya, bud.... Just think 2006 for
a year and you could be back !!!

umm y r u sellin it? You're putting all that custom fab work into the blower just to sell it?

 

Hey Bill, sorry you sold the beast. You've been one of the nicest guys I've ever met and was always ready to help out a fellow L owner at the track or on the web. Keep on truckin' with the family and if I see you at the track, I'll let you run my truck, John H.

 

Im sure it is for good reason .

I just abought a new truck saturday.a white 1500 crew cab 2wd LS.I bought it so i could have a truck ro use as a truck because my other two trucks are used as toys/cars and my wifes mountaineer is almost useless.It barley pulls my boat.. As I was buying this new truck,i told myself and my wife that it is time to unload the Lightning because i dont want too many car payments.my truck just sits in the garage.it is an 02 with 9k miles of which 6K were put on the first year.So I am averageing 1500-2k miles a year.This is what makes me feel i can live without it,It is never used.Ive always been too scared of putting many miles on it and keeping it perfect..Being a car dealer,Im not supposed to get attatched to vehicles.This is the second time this year,I was selling my truck.The first time i had it sold was for decent money to Verraca Motors who deals in all high performance vehicles in brockton ma.I drove half way there,(about 40 miles)asked myself what i was thinking and turned around and put it back in the garage where i have only driven it once since then.Anyway,Once i brought the new truck home i went into my garage where my Lightning sits with many flat spots in the tires.I thought to myself,In about 2 years i will own this truck and will never have to sell it and all the patience and dedication to not driving in the rain and low miles will have paid off.Now i decided not to sell it again.Im going to tough it out untill my wifes mountaineers lease is up.20 more months.Anyway,what i was trying to say is Ive had three of these trucks and have sold two of them.Everytime i sell one,I get sick to my stomach and realize i made a mistake and go buy another one.Im sick of losing $$ and Im keeping mine dammit i hope you know what your doing, It is a sickness you knowGood luck.

 

Thanks for all the understanding and kind replies.. They mean a lot..
I already miss it, when we came home today from picking my son up at daycare my son says to my wife and I as we pull into the drive way "where's daddy's White truck?" It hit home then, it is really gone and wasn't a dream. Even though I am going to miss (MLNIUM) and the times spent with you all at the different events and at times regret selling it In my heart I know I made the right choice. My son is already 2 and growing up quick, I don't want to miss out on that. I have always put myself first, now it is my son and wifes turn and I want to do my best to make some great memories with them to have later on in life. And nothing makes me happier than seeing my son laugh and have a great time.
I have a very good and understanding wife, I have always bought, and done anything I have wanted to do without even asking her what she thought. And the best part was she never really ever said anything, so it has been great and I have had a lot of fun over the years. But, being a father now, and a very proud one at that, it has changed me for the better. No one is perfect, that is just part of being human. I am just glad I realized what's really important to me before I missed out on anymore.
I will still stop in every now and then, you guys have been like family to me and we have had some great times that will be with me forever.
Thanks for everything and I hope to see MLNIUM in the 9's soon....



Bill
