noooo, not a legal question!<br /><br />125 miles on the lil beast - steady 75 too fast?<br /><br />I want to take the twisting curving back roads, but the one woman RJ Reynolds stock holding parade considers that a half pack ride<br /><br />and of course, she had to exhale deeply to gain access to the cab, lol<br /><br />so, Ill get her up there quickly, or its yet another ride in the Subaru to Lancaster<br /><br />Remember Get Smart and the Cone of Silence?<br /><br />I wonder if I could rig a Cone of Smokage?<br /><br />hehehe .... poor truck would look like Steamboat Willy<br /><br /> :D :D :D :D :D

not yet tradin, but its a comin!<br /><br />I really didnt notice til I hit an offramp at 50, she leaned quite a bit<br /><br />those tiger paws do great in the dry stuff, on the way home well find out about the wet!<br /><br />that blasted steering wheel is a lot bigger than the one in the van, but it do have that air bag in there, so I guess it gets to stay<br /><br />also going to do the first mileage check, the gas tank has really dropped off, I wonder if the gauge is weighted for fast fall off - fords stay on full forever, then drop like a rock<br /><br />We are going to Seafood night at the Shady Maple, all sorts of stuff, but I mostly get the fried oysters and the broiled scallops, I tear the fried shell off the oyster and just eat the oyster, I dont see how the oyster itself could absorb any oil<br /><br />havent been there in quite a few months, hope I remember how to get there<br /><br /> :p

Why the hell would you want to go any faster then 50mph on an offramp, or any sharp turn for that matter, its a chevy S-10, not a Ford Lightling............ :rolleyes:

Get one of them Hepa Suits for the one woman RJ Reynolds parade. Then you won't have to push the truck as fast just yet.

ah Ryan, dear boy, one of lifes great lessons is that anyone or anything is so much more than the sum of their parts ...<br /><br />what is a lighting but a F 150 thats modified? what is a Silverado SS but a C 1500 thats modified? What is Pamela Anderson but a two bit bimbo with a booob job and lipstick?<br />(hey doc, I got these rings on my hootus ... just use lipstick remover???? ok, thanks doc!)<br /><br />Where do you think Tim Allen got all those ideas anyway???<br /><br />ARG! ARG!! ARG!!!<br /><br /> :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

A Lightling is not really anything like a F150. They say that it will outrun a Cheddy vet.

the lighting will do ok against a vette til that wind starts working on it, then its like pushing a brick thru the air ... no, its just lowered a bit, shocked different and supercharged for more power - and a heavy duty set of sway bars, lol<br /><br />zero to sixty, eh, maybe the lighting<br /><br />zero to 100 and back to zero ... my buck is going to ride with the vette<br /><br />but the thing is Ryan, they made a LIGHTING ...<br /><br />they saw a need for a sporty TRUCK<br /><br />doesnt it seem wierd that a pickup can run with a CORVETTE???<br /><br />(even if it IS a Ford, lol, leave it to the Boys in Blue to come up with a two ton ringer!)<br /><br />now, the S-10 is sporty too, red with mags and those raised white letters ...<br /><br />strangers are telling me how pretty it is, lol, total strangers, coming from the side, hey, sharp truck, gotta love it when they are new, they cant see the new car tag in the back!<br /><br />actually, as light as she is with that small engine in the front, a nice set of gas shocks and a rear sway bar would prolly bring it nearly to lighting level cornering, dont forget, the lighting is a heavy beast<br /><br />hmmmmm<br /><br />maybe Ill call it the Bolt, chevy used to put a six cylinder engine in the vette back when it was born ... fifty years ago this year if memory serves ... they called it a Blue Flame Six, but mechanics called it a stovebolt six, it was a straight six opposed to the V8's that would come in 55<br /><br />its really about imagination you see ... sway bar makes it go flat around a corner, I can imagine a Vortec 5700 pulling away under the hood, and in my mind its an SS<br /><br />besides, it stabilizes the truck for towing, so its a safety feature, yeah yeah, safety, thats the ticket!!!<br /><br /> :rolleyes:
