...for the latest installment of "Stupid or Totally Uninformed or Just Plain Hilarious Observations/Questions People Have Made/Asked About My Lightning."

Latest for me was while waiting for pedestrians to cross in front of me in Sam's Club parking lot. Well-dressed suit guy stops in middle of street and says: "Wow, who makes that truck? Chevy?"

 

i was at mcdonalds and had my truck parked by the window and a old man walks by stops looks at the the front of the truck. i don't have a ford emblem in the grill i have a lightning emblem but anyway then he gets on all fours and looks at my brakes ??????? now im clueless then he crawls to the back wheel and looks at it then he gets up looks at the tailgate and there i have the ford emblem. now prolly about 5 minutes has past no joke then he walks around the wole truck and stares at it for about 30 secs then walks in and says "nice truck man chevy can make some bad azz trucks" i just stare at him with my mouth open and say its not a chevy its a ford lightning and he says ford??????? chevy makes the lightning then i was like running around in cricles not knowing what to do and just calmly said WOW dude it says ford on the back but hey if you want it to be a chevy then go ahead hey i guess that will be the only way for chevy to keep up with me then calmly walking out and drove away man. i just didn't know what to do i was so stuned. damn old people

 

Wow, that's unbelieveable! The scarey part is that the guy probably votes!

I also don't have one emblem left on my truck that says Ford, and it's funny to watch people try to figure out what it is.

 

I had a guy in a Tundra give me the full look over at a stop light. Up, down, back and forth I mean he was really looking. So the light turns green and he gives it hell so I thought, why not. Floored it and blew by him like he was standing still and then shut down. He then catches up to me at the next light and is yelling for me to roll down my passenger window. Upon doing so he asks "Hey is that thing supercharged?" I just simply replied, "No, it's stock."

 

Hilarious....Man some people

 

Since owning this truck, I've found that nobody outside the hotrod world has ever heard of a Lightning.

 

Good, now everyone be quiet and keep it that way.

 

I had the same thing happen with a guy in a f150. Except me being a young smart *** i said naw its a squeky belt

 

hahaha. I don't know if it really counts, but last time at the track (I didn't have the L with me, just watching some friends run) but I told some ricer 80s accord, kitted out, fart can, primer paint etc. that I had a truck. he then told me his accord would run circles around it. he then proceeded to run a 21.4 second 1/4 mile. freakin idiot

 

Ignorance is bliss, I'm just glad I'm not in that category.

 

About two weeks ago my wife and I were on a drive in the L and decide to stop at Sonic for a burger and tots. The little Durwood that brought our order to the driver’s side said:
"This one uh those Lightnings?" (The Lightning badge was about 3 inches from his elbow.)

"Yup"

" I don’t know if you’re one of those Chevy hating Ford guys, but I just ordered a supercharged Colorado from the dealership. Should get about 600 horses outta that one."


"Gee, I guess we’ll have to race when you get it."


"I’ll race you with my Eclipse anytime! It’s puttin’ out about 900 horses!"


"Since you forgot the ketchup, why don’t you go get that first, then we’ll talk about the race."


A young girl came out with the ketchup about 3 minutes after. I just think most of these folks are funny.

 

I've been working on this for the last week on my lunch.


My boss asked me today what it was.

I told him what it was, what I'm doing, and what it would do for power.

He said "Your truck will break the tires loose now, right?"

I said, "Yeah."

He wanted to know why I was doing it then.

 

hahahahaha, these are some funny stories. Well let me tell you guys mine.

I was sitting at the local car wash with my L, and my buddies harley truck. This kid (about 19) pulls up in a gt. He gets out and comes up to my truck and looks at it, then looks at the harley truck, and says yall have some nice fords here. He then says those are the trucks that have the corvette motor's in them right? I looked at my buddy with the harley truck with a blank look on my face, I didnt know what to say for like 30 seconds, and then replied naw. He then ask how to make his gt faster, and bs questions like that. Some people are so f*cking stupid, and to think he was driving a mustang gt.
