Thumbs up Took Delivery Of The L Today!

Took delivery of my '04 Silver L this afternoon. All I have to say is WOW - and this is coming from a guy that owned a '99 L and a '01 Corvette.

The 2004 L is really really nice. Ford took steps to correct a lot of the little stuff that was wrong with the '99/'01 and added a lot of nice touches.

Overall this truck feels more solid, smoother and faster than my stock '99.

I'll post some pics soon - but it isn't like you guys haven't seen your share of Lightnings.

Jeff

I think I know just how you feel. I traded my 99 L in for a new 04 two months ago.
Hard to believe it is a vehicle so versital to race, play, drive to work and enjoy. Not to mention it can haul something other than your A$$.

This is true! I will already be putting her to use tomorrow. Gotta move 40 cases and 6 4 foot display cabnets to storage... not looking forward to it! At least I will get to do it all in the L!

Welcome back man. Say, how'd you like the '01 Vette? I've owned 3 Vette's in the past (last one was a '96) but have never driven a C5. I was affraid I'd like it too much and want to buy another. Have fun with the L.
