Default Bought a lightning for a daily Pics
Yes, its a ford and I am already noticing little "wtf were you thinking" items. lol But the blower makes a beautiful shreek and the paint is new. Should be a fun little truck. Only mods are long tube headers and cold air intake. Rare for these trucks. Anyway, thought I would share because I'm excited about it.
