Great News
Glad to see you got to see yours and get behind the wheel. Mine has been in a rail yard about 15 miles away all week. Should make it to Dealer tomorrow. If the gods smile I will see it tomorrow or Sat. I am going to borrow a digital camera for the weekend. I will post if I get something to post. Have a great time.

Congrats Baby Jake,
I hope your wife's sonogram went well. Did your Black Lightning come with a tonneau cover? Just thought I'd let you know that Black is the fastest color.
Nathtan, Tell me about waiting, my Lighting has been out of commission since January. January FOURTH! I haven't even seen it since Jan 14. Its supposed to be out of the shop last week, but they forgot about one small detail, the lower grill. Fools. Anyway it should be done this week, and on it's way on Friday. Please post if you ever find out what is wrong with the intercooler, they say I needed a new one, too.

Thanks Silver-2000 and Tundra!
Silver, I really hope your weekend turns into somthing good, er... GREAT!!!
Tundra, No tonneau, I didn't order one. I will be clamping on a SnugLid.
P.S. My wife's sonogram went well, thanks for asking! I nicknamed the little one Pedro because he/she was moving around like a Mexican jumping bean!

Baby Jake,
Congrats for the baby and the L! Let's see who picks up theirs first, you or me. I'm supposed to be at the dealership @ 2:30p CST.
Have you bought your SnugLid yet? If not, call SnugLid and get the $20 discount coupon, if you can wait for it to be sent to you. Call them at 562-432-5454 and ask for the discount. I saw the ad in this month's Truckin'.

Baby Jake,
To be expecting from two different sources must be nerve wracking! Especially when one of 'em goes into false labor (kind of like the truck did tonight, to drive her and then not take her home, that must sting a bit!).
One suggestion if I may, don't take the wife to the hospital in the L, the ride will scar the kid for life. Turn him/her into a speed crazed psycho like the rest of us. Then you'll have to spend the rest of your life trying to keep the keys to the L away from 'em!
Good Luck!

Wyldman,
I appreciate the tip about not wanting the 'little one' to be a speed freak. However, it seems LightningBoy turned out pretty good, huh? But, causing her 'water to break' on the L's seat could be a real drag.
WiteSVTLite,
What a way to break-in the new ride, just drive carefully and keep us all informed.
Have I mentioned lately how AWSOME this board is? Thank you, one and all!!!

Congrats on both delivery's
The Dealer here refused to buy the Snugrip clampon system for the snug lid I ordered. He said they have way too many problems with the lid going out of alignment. I wasnt thrilled about drilling holes in the L but I went to the experts for a reason, and will take their advice.
