Hi all, my internet has been dead for a few days since I just moved, but the last time I was here there was some debate about whether or not dealers could actually "officially" submit orders for 2003 Lightnings or not.

Well today my dealership ordered 5 of them and was told that job one date was somewhere around November 4th.

I personally ordered 2 of them because I still haven't decided between red and sonic blue.

There were a few funny things, there was a "hold" placed on the CD player, I don't know exactly what this means, but they did make a note of it. could be a problem or maybe just nothing.

also they have the price listed as 99,000 dollars, I think this is a bit steep myself , but I assume that what this really means is that the price is GOING UP AGAIN but they just haven't decided how much.

I heard a while back that both Ford and Chevy were going to increase prices by as much as 4% ACROSS THE BOARD this year, so this may be true.

On a sidenote, the Nascar Winston Cup guys are here in Richmond VA this weekend and Rusty Wallace came to my dealership to sign autographs.

people started lining up at like 1:00 or 2:00 and he didn't get there untill after 5:00. By the time he got there the line was wrapped around 3/4 of our building! I got to go up into the sales office and say hello and get an autograph before he officially started signing.

interestingly enough, he arrived in a Roush (sp?) Expedition and I think we changed his oil (we don't carry Mobil 1 ) and replaced wiper blades. woowee

later,

mine was $99,998, i figured it was the new grey paint, or something

 

Did you ask Rusty about his L...or as he likes to call it,his "turbocharged pickemup truck"

 

You can probaly get the A-plan.Maybe get it for $92,500 you lucky dog.

VINNIE

BTW-You should have dented his rear bumper.Just tell him Jeff Gordon did it.HEHEHE

 

LOL Rusty would have decked you right then and there! He still owes the Rat Boy one for the other week!

 

Someone mentioned Rusty had an L, does anyone know year and color.

 

I don't know the year, but I hope he has a huge bumper on it so he can put Gordon's *** in the wall this weekend for his bump and run at Bristol. When it happened I sat in silence for like ten minutes and then went and washed my L.

 

Rusty has a 99 red one. I've talked to him a couple times at races. My union is one of his co-sponsors. Look on the "B" pillar on his car, second or third sticker down. It a round UA sticker

 

Gordon deserves a few dnf's

Go 6

 

How many seconds did it take to change the oil and wiper blades?

 

I heard that penske racing was switching to dodge nex't year.
I will be strange seeing rusty in a dodge
