Rode in my brothers lightning on Thursday,hot damn that biatch is mean. On dry pavement the speedo said 80 and we were going about 15 lol. Spins sideways on dry pavement nicely too.
I told him my truck could do all of that too,he looked at me funny then I added in the rain lol.

Your also talking about a crowd that wants $100,000 speed out of a $10,000 - 10 year old truck. There are a few helpful & knowledgeable guys, but several douchebags in between.

Just little things here and there.
Most vendors and Lightning Veterans are really nice.

Ya, I try to be polite but good karma will only go so far until I call someone out for who they really are
