I see a lot of guys here who beat on their truck pretty good, and probably don't plan to keep it for very long. (That's cool with me, I do the same thing with my Mustang).

Anybody plan on keeping the L for a long time (10+ years)? Although I just bought mine, that's the plan. I waited a long time to get it, and plan to keep it.

(If I hadn't raced one at the dragstrip in my Mustang, I probably would have never got the bug)

 

i plan on having mine like my whole life. i want it to be like a classic car in 20 years. like seeing a boss 302 mustang and being like damn that was such a sweet car when it came out

 

My intentions are to keep it for a long time, at least for me. The last three new vehicles I've owned I've kept for an average of less than 2 years. But I think this one will be different.

 

Im planning on keeping mine . Now that im married i think i wont be able to spend as freely as i did. so i better keep anything i got. BUt im sure when the Gen 3 comes out ill be kissing some serious a$$!

 

I'm hoping to do the same............but I've realized that depending on what all comes out every 3-4 years in the car market, feelings can change..........and the feeling of wanting to have something in my garage as a classic may just transfer to another car/truck by '05 or '06.

But hopefully the L will be in my garage for a long time.

I plan on booting mine when Ford makes something faster (for a reasonable price of course). Maybe the Terminator stang.

I plan on keeping mine for a long time. I have in the past only kept my vehicles about 2 years. The plan for this one is to buy a beater to keep driving while the L becomes the play toy. If all goes well, that is the plan. First, I got to buy the wife a new sport utility of some kind(4X4 with biggest engine!) just in case I need to use it! .

 

I'll have it until the day I die. Unless some moron with no insurance totals it out for me.

 

6 years min. and that's part of the reason for keeping it stock, except audio, bed cover and soon-to-get Magna cat backs

 

I plan to keep mine for the long haul.
I bought the 6 year extended warranty so i should be good for at least 6 years before trading the beast. I put a A.R.E. Z-top on it so i can camp with it, haul with it, and travel with it.
So i guess i'll keep it until something bad starts happening to it, like blowing plugs out of the heads or other things.
It looks like a sleeper now and i love it this way.---Jim

 

I've got the rarest of the rare-a white 99, they only made, I think, 866 of em. I'm looking for an early Bronco for a daily driver in the long run so the L will be a weekend warrior.

 

i will be trading mine in on a 03 Dodge viper truck for 20k, i will tell them to fill the bed with the leftover cash from the transaction

 

I predict the Lightning Forum will eventually be reduced to one thread...

 

I hope to keep mine forever.

 

Working on merging the 20,000 threads to one BIG one now....
Easier fir me to manage.... Just one thread to read and close think of the time savings...
LOL
