If you wanted to break you could probably do it in the bed or on the hood...

Just don't scratch up your paint with those suede Puma's

I am in my 20s,without even looking at the "age" post yet I can say that Im pretty sure Most of us are older not including myself.

When we say "drive it like you stole it",NORMAL people who have experience with cars and motors know how far you can actually push it before it comes to repairs.I dont think anybody pounds their $30k lightning like its a 88 mustang !! MOST of us KNOW it means dont be afraid of it.

If you want a 14.6 second lightning like the ones I hear about in Illinois,I reccomend only taking it to church on sundays and try to keep the engine slightly above idle.This will assure a long life.Just like my mothers 94 mustang which has 30k miles and has had 2 COMPLETE brake jobs,2 transmission rebuilds,The Head gasket replaced by Ford,and runs like a scalded ant in an ant farm.The car also leaks from sitting and the paint is showing serious signs of fadind no matter how much you wax it.The interior looks brand new though!!!!!!

I think you get my point.My mothers car is a *****box due to sitting and being driven too easy.Ive seen this MANY times.Drive it often and drive it hard!!

Thumbs up

I've only done a couple, since new "L"s are pretty rare . i usually knock out the sliding back glass, reach in, and unlock the doors. then i get inside, fix the back glass, mess with all the ***** and controls, lock it back up and "wait" from a distance.
