Hangin out at last night at the local cruise venue,Met the driver of a red lightning.Guys,you would have cried when you saw the condition of this truck.It was absolutely disgusting.It was caked with mud,the interior looked like a handgreanade went off in it.Absolutely the most horrifying thing i have ever seen,why anyone would want to let thier truck go like that is beyond me.Ill get some pics of it with my digital camera when i see this guy next.To top it all off he wanted to race me for my tonneau cover...He wanted a street race!!Not me!Im headed to the track on tuesday,i told him id be there.All this guy is is trouble.Very sad indeed.Just needed to vent,sorry all.

Hey,I know how you feel.I know people just like that.All you can do is smile and when your feeling down,Remember what your truck looks like and then think of his. Remember the more trucks that are destroyed by their owners ,The more our resale value goes up on the good ones I found a way to keep my tips looking new .I wash them everytime I drive it . This keeps the outside looking good.Polish them with mothers every 2 weeks minimum.They will always look brand new.As far as the insides,I use WD-40 evry time I clean my truck.Use The rough size of a scotch-brite pat and carbon comes right off.Ive been doing this since my truck has been new and they look brand new.One upside of selling my 99 is I appriciate this truck so much more!,I know not to drive in rain so the frame always loks new,I know how to keep the little things from adding up .(like the tips)

 

Which track are you going to and what time? I'm off-duty and sure would like to get together with you and Rob G again. That way I get to drool and oggle at what a Lightning should look and run like after you change Fords mistakes and shortcomings.

1 kill to date (only a
rice burner)

 

heading to route 66 raceway tuesday night.weather pending of course!

 

Hey, there's a guy down here that actually took off all of the ground efects, front bumper and grill. Replaced everything from a regular F150. Even put wide molding down the doors and a step bar.

Not to be a "sleeper", just didn't like how it looked stock.....

Go figure.

 

TampaBayLightning - This naked L wouldn't happen to be a red one would it?

How awful. This guy probably leaves dirty dishes in the sink and lets his dog drink out of the toilet. Can't he go to jail for this? At least we can take comfort in the knowledge that he is going to Hell, fer sure.
