Age of Lightning owners

[SpeedyBolt]

I was just wondering if there has ever been a survey or anything done on the age groups of lighting owners? I think it would be cool to see which groups had the most lightnings. How could we set up a format to see this?(Doug)

[98Cobra]

I think this might be the most common thread on f150online... :)

[00Bolt]

24 when I bought it... now 25

[WA 2 FST]

Lets see... I was 26 when I bought my first L. Of course, that was back in '94. ;)

But I still have an L, so I guess I still haven't grown up in 10 years, huh? :D

[Shiner1]

38 when I bought it. 40 when I sold it. 40 when I bought the next one.

[my2002lightning]

I'm 34 - but, I act 14. :nana2

[L-Fever]

46

[Nuhklz]

Old enough for a mild exhaust.

[SpeedyBolt]

I'm 22. I have never been on F150online or what ever that other forum was. What is the average age for it? I kind of figure on the majority being in the 40's!

[Alpine]

31 :(

[REXRENEGADE]

Almost 41 :rolleyes:

[tliss]

Old enough to be able to mod the truck but young enough not to know any better!! :banana:

I'm really as old as that Alpine guy minus a couple of years....

Welcome back and congrats on the hitch.

[my2002lightning]

Thanks! I was telling Elaine that I was starting to get the "TALON withdrawal shakes" about mid-week. :o :D

It's sorta' strange to go from driving a '04 Dodge Intrepid for a week, and then back to the L. :bows

As for older L owners, I knew a '00 White L owner in his mid-70s back in Tulsa and another '99 Red L owner in his 60s.



Welcome back and congrats on the hitch.

Midlife crisis @ 42


Any of you younger guys still live with your parents? With the expense of keeping an L I bet its month to month otherwise.

A year or 2 ago I did a calculation of expenses - assuming a 30,000 payment plus insuarance plus gas plus rent plus plus plu = about a 40k a year income minimum.... I have the excel sheet somewhere

[03LightningRocks]

A year or 2 ago I did a calculation of expenses - assuming a 30,000 payment plus insuarance plus gas plus rent plus plus plu = about a 40k a year income minimum.... I have the excel sheet somewhereThat's about 20 bucks and hour....at 40 hours a week...52 weeks.

That number is not out of reach for some of the young tradesmen we have here. Throw in some O.T. and 50 k is possible.

I really don't know what kind of money the puter techies make when first starting out. I bet it is not far from that either.


Now for a, "back When I was starting out", story. My first job in the AC business paid 5.75 and hour. The experienced techs made 10-11. My, how things have changed:cool: .


Rocks

[SpeedyBolt]

Some of our more abitious youngsters, like myself, have thier own buisness. Plus you can get used Lightnings for pretty cheap now days! I only paid 21K for mine!!!

[bigdale83]

i have a decent job. like was said, you can get em cheaper now. just have to save long enough to get the payment where you can afford it....not live with parents

[WA 2 FST]

I love the "back when I started" stuff... as I get older, I can start to share those stories. Min. wage was like $3.75 when I started working at age 16. I quickly learned I could make a lot more $$ in a lot less time mowing yards. Actually had a decent business through college. Kind of wish I'd kept doing it, but my current self-employed gig isn't too bad.

I think i may be the youngest here, and i live in an apt, about to get a house and drive an L. Granted its a 2000, and paid for, im not really month to month. :beer:

I was 20 when i got mine.

Im impressed - At 20 years old you had almost 20k saved....

[hallin hay]

i'm 33 and have been unemployed for the past nine months, thank god the L is paid for! hey maybe that could be a new topic, how many people here have not worked at some point this year?

[SILVER2000SVT]

Bought my 00 at 25, now 27

[blueoval01]

Im impressed - At 20 years old you had almost 20k saved.... Whoa!! Me too.

Bobby can afford it because he is living in Scott's garage.

[Cammin4V]

I got a lil better deal than that. :)

[my2002lightning]

I've only worked approx. 2-3 mo's locally this entire year - I could've worked continuously, but I've since given up the coast-to-coast "IT road-warrior" lifestyle.

I'd like to 2x-up on the L pmts and a house down-pmt. soon. But, Elaine has me on a STRICT budget regarding the Valentine-1 and the M-40 Blinder. :crying: :D
