Angry

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Lightning the first truck ever on the cover of C & D when it first came out? They are total flocking idiots.

Sure....I bet they don't like the Lingenfelter Corvette blower upgrade because of the blower whine too. I don't like turbo's because of the hissing noise.....yea right.

Blower whine touble.

Right after I got my L, I took a friend for a ride. I punched it and as we were hitting about 85 mph he yelled: "What's that whining noise!!!" and proceeded to tear the handgrip out of the headliner. No kidding.

He drives a brand new Tundra. Likes the "car-like ride".

Lesson: some folks just don't get it.

I agree 100%.

A nickel plus Car and Driver's opinion= five cents.

My parrot doesn't even like when I put pages of Car and Driver in his cage for him to crap on.

Let them know how you feel about the review, like I did.

Be sure to mention Depends "undergarments", wheelchairs, walkers and Jazzy scooters.

If it doesn't say BMW or sound like growing rice, they generally will condemn it!

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE C&D- I always buy two copies when the new issue comes out-

One to Sh*t on, and one to cover it up with
