Many thanks

[andy_cain]

Just wanted to take a minute and tell all of you that over the past two years, I have enjoyed both my time spent here and Lightning ownership more than I can possibly tell you.

It has been great to share the enthusiasm with other Lightning owners and watch each of these awesome trucks develop into what they are today.

I sincerely appreciate all of the people here (even you Dad – Rocks:nana2 ) for all the fun.

I don’t see a Lightning in my near future, but I am an impulse person anyway; so ya never can tell about my Unsane arse!:confused:

Having said that, I hope that the friendships made here will remain in tact, regardless of the vehicle I drive. For me, it is simply time for a “new project”.

Maybe I will just be one of those annoying people who doesn’t actually own a Lightning but yet wants to still be “part of the family”.

I do plan on running in a lot of the same circles moving forward.. so I am sure to see most of you either at car shows or Ennis or Hallsville. (Yes, believe it or not, with a factory warranty, I am more likely to race the new project than I did my “L”).

Sincerely, Thanks again all!:beer:

Hope I can still stop by the monthly meetings and have a “fish bowl Rita” with ya.

Doug: Hope I still get invited to go to the weekend lake Marti’gra’s (sp?)? … Uhhh, I mean boat trips! Occasional weekends of that are well worth the measly membership fee’s!:tu:

Thanks again all!

Wayne,

I haven't been on this board much, but we've known each other for a few years now...neighbor. :)

I was glad to offer my small amount of help at times, and hey, at least that spare tire on my '99 saw an 11-sec pass. :rll:

I _totally_ understand about needing a "new project" and something different to keep the wheels turnin'. People said I was absolutely NUTS for selling my '90 Mustang that I'd owned for 12 years and put tons of blood, sweat, and $$ into. But the fact is, I wasn't enjoying it as much, so I moved on...to bigger and better things (even if the Z06 doesn't quite make as much power).

So, since I must've missed the other post... what are you driving now? I know you have the LT4 Vette. What else to replace the L?

[andy_cain]

Obviously, I am not "brand loyal":rll:

2002 Viper RT-10

[WA 2 FST]

Beautiful car, Wayne!! You'll have a blast with that thing. :D

Brand loyal? Anyone who is an auto enthusiast isn't blind enough to be 100% brand loyal. You pick whatever vehicle is the best for you that you can afford. Opinions may differ on what that is, but getting stuck with whatever a particular brand offers stinks.

Does Ford have _anything_ that can compete with that beauty that is actually in production now? Of course not. Nothing is close. And the new Ford GT will be $150-200k for sure. What a bargain.:rolleyes:
Have fun and let us know how you mod that beast.

I'm annoying? Hmmm...:eek2:

[Sixpipes]

It's been fun Wayne. Hope to see you around. :cool:


I'm annoying? Hmmm...:eek2:I'm sure Wayne was talking about the other annoying people that don't own Lightnings................................whoever they are. Don't get all sensitive and $hit on us. It would ruin that rugged Canadian "take-off-eh" image you've worked so hard to create. :evil

Wayne,

Glad to have you in the club. It has been a fun journey I must admit. Nothing wrong in my book with moving on. Most of the people in TALON will probably not own a Lightning for the rest of their lives (except for Dennis who is trying to die with the MOST Lightnings). Look forward to seeing you again in the Viper man!

[03LightningRocks]

I think Wayne may have been just rambling on, to keep his tears in check. Actually, there are L owners here that annoy me more than the non L owners here:rolleyes: .....J/K Ronald:eek: .

That is one very cool car Wayner:cool: . Now ya need to get single again and your life will be complete:D .


Rocks:beer:

[my2002lightning]

Uncle Rocks,
I couldn't agree with you more! Certain L owners can be very annoying. :hammer: :d

Unsane Wayne,

When it comes down to it... Fast is fast.

Ronald

Since TALON began we have tolerated anyone as long as they tolerated US.

Whether or nor you own a lightning is not critical - It is critical that you can put up with lots of talk about lightnings though....

As far as the weekends on the boat - You are welcome anytime...

PS - here is teaser of from last weekend.. These 2 ended up being the stars...The guy sittting down ended up wearing the black and white bikini at one point

Is that Lake lewisville (sp?) I havent been out there in a long time.

[andy_cain]

So I guess he literally, “got into her shorts” (figuratively speaking) :rll:

Is the Anchor chief :hammer: still overseeing the weekend events?



Ronald: I am not “INSANE, I am “UNSANE”

Insane people wear strait jackets while Unsane people spend $27K on a vehicle and $20 to $30K more on mods to drive it less than 3000 miles a year… to then basically “give it away” just to start a new “wild hair” type project:evil

Insane people often times unaware of their behavior, Unsane “Folk” just plain don’t give a **** ! :D Their behavior is more guided by what could be considered “childish thinking”.

Example:



Why did you do that?



Typical Insane answer might be: “do what?”, or even in some clinical cases, “I don’t know”.

In sharp contrast, the Unsane answer is almost certain to be one of three answers (in over 92% of patients):

1) Because I wanted to!

2) Because I could!

3) I just F-ing’ did !

In some cases, the Unsane have actually used all three answers.:eek:

Now that this is clear this is cleared up, please be sensitive to not using them interchangeably:rll: :rll:

Wayne,

It was nice meeting you and I'm honored to have been able to pick up your old truck. It truly is a very nice truck. My original thoughts were to use it as a daily driver, but after having seen it well... I just can't see myself doing that. SO once again it as it was with you, it will be garage kept and babied like hell. Its basically gonna be a weekend vehicle. Guess my 377HP 408TQ 12.0 sec AUdi S4 will continue to be my primary vehicle. Best of luck with your new project and rest assured the "Bitch" ;) is in good hands.. <private joke> :tu:

Very Nice? Thats and understatement if I ever heard one.... :evil

Geesh, that has to be the best '99 there is. You are one lucky mofo...

Good luck, I should have bought it myself.

Unsane Wayne,

My apologies. :D Given that, you are indeed "UNSANE" ! :tu:
