Exclamation AutoWeek wants to hear from YOU!

AutoWeek magazine is preparing an AutoFile report on our favorite truck. They want to know when you bought yours, what you paid, your opinions, and other vehicles you considered. When you comment, they ask for your mailing address, phone number, and VIN.

E-mail to autofile@crain.com or follow the Buyer's Guide link at www.autoweek.com or fax to 313-446-1027.

In the June 25 issue (with the LeMans-winning Audi R8 on the cover) there's a nice picture on page 15 of an 01L burning out.

Hey, folks. This isn't an opportunity to bitch. This is an opportunity to talk up the truck and create interest and demand so the value of your truck is enhanced.

Write things that make readers wish they owned one.

No intercooler, no clunk, no negative. My daddy use to say, "Don't tell your problems to people who can't fix 'em." He also said, "If you can't say something nice about yourself don't expect others to."

I compared my 2001L to my old 1997 M3 in power and handling and performance...

Did mention my first mod' was to remove stock speakers and add component speakers in the front...

Did good I did. I plugged the site like a good boy and told only cheerful things. Here alittle preview of what I said,
"I would ask Ford for a long term tester, and when you see the look of the first Vette owners face after you spank him IN A TRUCK you'll be a believer too." Just incase it only gets to the cuttin' room floor.

I too spoke the praises of the Lightning. Heck, I might have spoken a little smackdown to the little rt's and cheby's. And Mr. webmaster, your truley, Fast Gator did indeed speak of a fine website for our fast trucks. Yes, it was www.F150online and I might add,I was wearing my f150online t-shirt as I typed the letter to Autoweek. I hope that they print half of the smack I talked. I know OUR people will get a laugh. BTW.. I also mentioned a couple aftermarket tuners who SUPPORT F150 online. Some guy in PA and another guy who lives on an island. Bruce in Rutherford

I also mentioned to them the only other vehicle I considered instead of getting the 2001L would have been a 2002 Lightning!!!
