Lightning Trivia..........(gotta get away from all that 'hate' and discontent.
If you lock the doors with the keypad (the last two buttons on the left) and someone is inside the truck, after a few minutes the person can't unlock the doors with the unlock button on the armrest (passenger can't anyway). I've locked my doors that way while my GF was still in the truck. I'd run into the store and when I'd come back she'd try to unlock the doors with her button, but they won't unlock. You have to either open the door with the handle (from the inside) or with the keypad (if you left the engine running the fob won't work) to get back in. I usually lock her in when we are in a bad neighborhood and I've came back to the truck (in the rain I might add! lol) and I'm standing there watching her push the button and it won't work, she keeps pushing the button and I'm gettin' soaked!

If you remove the inner fender liner on the feft front fender, revealing the frame member you will see, stamped in the steel, "Screw the EPA" is clearly visible.
Not really, but for a second a bunch of you were ready to run to the garage with wrenches in hand!
- nobody said the trivia had to be truthful!

If you look behind the right front tire on the frame there is a big green SVT sticker right in plain sight. I thought it looked pretty cool. Also, if you do the foglight mod the truck looks killer with only the park and foglights on.
the radio has a speed control volume....
the windows only go up with the ign. off for 1 min and or till a door is opened, wife always gets me with that one, a guess she in to much of a hurry to get away from my drivin...

Audible warning of seatbelts...
...not being worn or connected. You will get a series of chimes (23 or 23) until the seatbelt is hooked up. I could not stand the warning so putting on the harness is automatic for me now! It seems these warning chimes will come on about 5 times, every 90 seconds until it times out
I don't remember the 2000 model doing this little feature

Just remembered another one...........
Saw a thread over on svtperformance and it jogged my memory---did you know our horns are Italian
? Yep, made by Fiamm--kinda wimpy too? I changed mine out to another Fiamm model(?) to get a 'louder' blast a few months ago.

I walked up to my truck in the driveway, faced the gille and said,
"You are a Lightning!
No beep, flash, nothing.
So I said again, "You are a Lightning!"
It was as if it didn't understand me.
I said it a third time and was about to give up when both headlights rolled up towards the sky.
I don't know how Ford did that.
My truck isn't any faster and now I can't see where I'm going at night.

Most car's passenger mirror says:
"Objects in mirror are closer than they apper"
The Lightning's mirror says:
"Objects in mirror are SLOWER than they appear"
Okay, so I can't back that up...and I can't take credit for coming up with it either. But that is going to be my next mod.
