Yep, the supercharger and related accessories were a waste of money. The wheels and V rated tires were a waste of money. All of it, even though I learned how to improve the performance of my vehicle myself and did all the work myself, all of it was a waste of money. I should have just spent over 30K on the regular cab, short bead, two wheel drive Lightning instead of wasting my time learning something about F150's.
Well I spent the money for a Lightning, and some how, I don't feel better than anyone else. Funny.
Flareside150, my opinion? Keep it black.

I won't presume to speak for Tim, but MY take on his comment is that this is a board SPECIFICALLY for Lightnings and Lightning related topics. How is anything in the post Lightning related? The post would have been more at home is several other boards on this site.

If you want to be TOPICAL, then yes, this board is for Lightnings and Lightning related topics.

I have a mole on my back that I want medical advice on. I also need to get some help with the oil separator install on my girl's GTO. Should I post that here too? Touche', my friend
SUBFORUMS are set up for reasons. Not trying to be an azz, but It is a LIGHTNING subforum. They're meant to keep things focused, and they tend to do a decent job.
P.S.: I'd go DSG or stay black.

How are you with a bow staff?

This post is hilarious. Like he said, its a Lightning message board. Sure they make a Sonic Blue Lightning and his truck is an f-150, but its no Lightning. If he would have asked to see some pics of a Sonic blue L then that would be just fine. If he wants to photoshop his F150 theres another forum that would better suite him.
Hey emig5m, those pics are priceless

Hey, if I had the power of a moderator I'd move this to something in the body section, or to general discussion. I would try to do it without belittling the original poster.
I guess I can get touchy. This is a forum for F150's, of which the Lightning is one version. I'm guessing that this guy is posting this topic in the Lightning section because of the F150's the Lightning is the only one ever offered in this blue. Also he might think that people who own Lightnings might be enthusiastic about modding their trucks and might appreciate that he is modding his. He might not have expected people to be so critical.
