Question Who has Owned their Lightning the Longest??

Just curious who has held on to their truck the longest and still owns it today?? I have had my 99 since mid 2000 and still own it with 51,000 miles on her.

How about some others?

Jon

I've only had mine a year but plan to keep it the rest of my life. That may sound crazy, but I can't think of a better truck (with great value) to always have and still turn heads as I grow old!!

I'm not sure if a Lightning will "turn heads" in 20 years, but I'm definitely keeping mine forever. A man needs a truck. And if you have to have a truck, why not a fast one?

Pick her up April 26, 1999. SVT # 0056/4000

Driven it every day since. Been to the track a few times every year. Just polished off my first set of brakes and have never seen more than 14,000 miles on a set of tires. My monthly budget includes $100/month for fuel, and $40/month for tires..... Doesn't use a drop of oil and my everyday 91-octane street tune yielded a 13.17 at the track last month. My favorite mod was the line-loc

Only 43,000 (s)miles......
