"nothin' but a bunch a low-life white trash drinkin' too much cheap alcohol"

"I don't take s**t from guys who drive Lightnings," the cop said. "You're speedin' when you're sittin' on the parkin' ramp."

 

Same here, I have seen them all over the place. I figured it was to hold some of the wireing, ect. so they could install the stuff easier. I do not know.

 

Maybe Ford tried using the rubber bands for the the blower belt, felt they didn't cut enough corners?

 

They are a hi-performance Lightning specific harmonic turbulance isolation system.

my father works in a assembly plant, he told me the wiring harness comes wrapped in rubber bands and usually dosent get cut off when the harness is ran through the truck.
i got them all over my 01 also.

 

Yea, i've seen a lot of rubber bands myself uner the car, and wrapped around the brake fluid resevoir. I thought the rubber band might've been to hold it on, so i didn't take it off. But, yea, i've noticed a considerable amount of rubber bands on my truck.

 

Ya I have pulled off a bunch of rubber bands too. When you think you found them all, a few more allways turn up.

I found a rubber band around the M/C and resevoir when I picked up my '01L. When it gets dry and falls off, I'll keep an eye out for leaking brake fluid.
