got a lightning!

Hi.. I just wanted to share my excitement, today I bought a 2000 black Lightning.. sometime last week I realized that my beat up 96 V6 Firebird with collision damage and failing clutch and "in-the-shop-every-few-months" had to go.. Lightning time!

so I talked to my credit union and the fools loaned 20 grand to a 21 year old for a supercharged supertruck three days later and I'm running down mercedes and vettes on the freeway on the 500 mile drive home.. like I never would have dreamed in my previous car

look forward to getting help from this board!

havent slept in 40 hours yet I keep walking out to my driveway in my boxers every half hour to look at and/or drive-around-the-block my L!

Congrats on the new truck and this is the place to learn about them no doubt about that. Heck I still look out my window every once and a while and drool, it never stops. I even get withdrawel when the thing goes in the shop.

I make a few trips to the garage every day just to drool at my L. The excitement is just like a new toy to a child. The difference between men and boys are the price of their toys.

Welcome to the Club !!!


Be prepared to fill the tank every three days, just because
you have to DRIVE all the time ... If I have 20 minutes until
I have to leave, I will just go around the block..... LOL

Any mods yet? If not, you haven't experienced anything on the performance side Open up the wallet and smile even wider.
