Yo!

See? Anybody can do that.
Ok, guys, ease up. You've made your point.

Sorry, Jim. It's just that being called an idiot (twice) kinda sticks in the ol' craw a bit.

Dern character flaws...

Sweet fancy Moses! The guy ASKED for opinions. I gave mine. And I'm the bad guy for it?

Never mind the fact that he called me (and I'm guessing anyone else who said anything negative about his truck, lights, etc) an idiot...twice. I'm the bad guy, right?

And just because a guy is a newcomer, we're supposed to lie to him? I'm really confused about that one. I guess since he's a newcomer that it's OK for him to call us old-timers 'idiots'. Ya know...since he's new here and all...

Wow.
Well you know the old saying "better to keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you're an idiot than to open it and prove it" really applies here...looks to me like a few members on here are really uneducated on what a lightning really is but will quickly open their mouths and scream "lightning clone!" when they see a modded reg cab flareside. His truck probably has less lightning parts on it than most 97-03 members on here - he doesn't have the L heads like most people switch to, he has HD wheels, no body kit to speak of, no Lightning grille...see my point? Looks like you would be one of those people who fall for the "lightning" ads on craigslist when you see a v6 F150 flareside for sale with lightning wheels and nothing else.

And my point about him being a newcomer - "negative" comments can be given in a welcoming manner. Like "truck has potential, ditch the ricer lights though. what are your future plans for it?" Because to me, the only thing I can see that people don't like are the headlights. Those that are educated enough to know this isn't a Lightning clone, that is.

look sorry for calling u all idiots it just felt like u were bashing on me for every little thing.
yea i can see what u all are saying about the lights but everyone has their own taste. all trucks have them in lower texas thats why.
n trust me u guys arent the only ones who doubted my 4.6. alot of chevys did too but i thought since u all were ford fans i thought u all would know a 4.6 on juice can run.
ps there 06 4 door f150 same mods as me and 100 shot hitting close to my times.
theres a bunch of fords (4.6) in lower texas on juice hitting high 13s.
theres even 4.8s chevy single cabs doing 11s

Yes, to the OP, the name calling and insults need to stop. We really take a dim view on direct insults. Also, anytime you post good times, there will be doubters until you post a picture of the timeslip. Just human nature, as some do come on with some pretty good exageration.

Just take the chiding and kidding with some humor and all will be good. You have to admit, MGDfan is quite creative.

Apology accepted. I promise nobody was bashing you. I guess I have a warped sense of humor that can be mistaken as being mean-spirited. However, it ain't so.

True indeed! Just know that the intorweb is full of 'characters' like me who relate their tastes and opinions in different ways. It doesn't mean we're 'idiots'. We're just 'different'. I guess that's the nicest way to put it.

Ain't he though? Good advice. If y'all hang around (and I hope you do), this won't be the last time somebody jabs at ya a little. Take it with a grain of salt, a good sense of humor, and remember...not everybody likes the same stuff.
