Hmm..... I am personally 16 years old, and I DO pay for my truck, and I DO
pay for my gas (very difficult when I have to buy premium for $1.64 a
gallon!) and I haven't spent any cahs on the stereo system, the Infinity
8-speaker system is awesome I think......Only mods have been performance
except for the R/T 360 stripes down the back uarters. :-) i am very
proud of my truck, and also proud I took a new black Lightning up to 45mph
where he slowly inched by me. With those showing of what a Lightning can do,
I can't see a stock Lightning being anything more than a spec in my rearview
when I get N20. Oh, and my total cost will still be under 18k. :-) And ya
still can't get a used Lightning (99 and up) for under 26k (and that'd be
with 50k miles or so).... I am very happy with my R/T. :_) Oh, and a new
Lightning will never get the looks or compliments my R/T does.

99 DA RC R/T
And damn proud of it!
