- Start date
I agree that dude was an a-hole but THAT WAS NOTHING compared to the test Drive I took in my First Lightning :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
(for the record I had all intentions on buying it, OR SO I THOUGHT)
Quick Set up:
I knew the SVT Specialist (Dave) for many years before this and had already bought a 96 Cobra Convert from him at McCarville Ford in Centereach, and had my Father buy a Ford from him when he moved to a Ford Dealer on RT 347, and now I was looking to buy a Lightning from him through Sayville Ford.
OK
I was on a waiting list in 2 SVT Ford Dealerships in LI from Aug 01 til just about X Mas time when one day Dave pulls up WHERE I WORK in a Brand New 02 Black Lightning (I was frigging drooling)
He throws me the keys and says, dont wreak it
Then he tells me he needs to buy some stuff from the company I work for and dont worry I'll be here a good hour or so, WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!
I look accross the office and there's this I'm going to die any day now old dude thats worked for us for like 65 years and I yell out, Hey Dick wanna go for a cruise. He goes ya why now, BAW HAH A HA HA HA HAH AH A HA
I start it up pull out of the parking lot stop dead on RT 112 and do the most wild power brake I've ever done up to that point (and I'm an old fk).
I'm frigging bouncing off the rev limiter/fuel cut off the whole nine. The LIE is like 1/2 a block from me so I go down the block sideways turn on the LIE and put it straight to the floor and stay in it right up to like 135 - 140, (by now Dick isnt looking to good)
I cruise from like Medford (exit 64) to Mannerville (exit 71 I think)
Get off go over the parkway get back on the service road on the other side stop dead and do another 1/2 minute or so power brake (another all out off the limiter smokey) Once again I put it to the floor and do some 130 - 140 runs and bring it back to medford. Walk inside and say I'll take it...
The next day Dave calls me and gives me a time and I show up at the dealership to pick it up. AS me and him start the paper work some dude comes running in screaming am I the guy that BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIS BRAND NEW LIGHTNING AND DESTROYED HIS BRAND NEW TIRES.
Then the manager comes out and stats going off on Dave that he took a truck off the lot that was already sold yesterday and then let me kill it and then he took it home and it was already sold to this guy :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
The manager starts yelling at me how I got rubber all over the truck and they cant get it off and I ruined the tires and bla bla bla
The other dude i just gave a shut the fk up before I squish you look and he backed off. I ended up NOT getting that Lightning and I think it'll go down in history as the best test drive ever......
(dam I wish I had a camera back then, hehehehe)
