I sold the Lightning and bought a 2005 35th Anniversary Edition 350Z.
I really didn`t want to sell the truck, but the gas was killing me. At over $300 in gas a month, it was time for something a bit more economical. I`m averaging 23 mpg compared to about 12mpg. It isn`t as fast as the truck, but she sure is a lot of fun.
Here is one pic....I will post more after I give it the full treatment...

How long do you estimate before your purchase pencils out?

Very nice. I`m a big Nissan fan and almost got one of these. I love the engine sound.

Thanks guys....like I said, I`m still getting used to it. The thought of the Lightning being gone is hard, but it is a pretty nice replacement.
As far as modding it, I`ll hold off on that for a while. Probably some exhaust & cold air intake to start......
Pats300.....what intake did you put on yours? Very nice car BTW!!!
I was looking for a Lightning too! :P
Congrats on the purchase!

don`t know if this will help, but here`s how some use a shut-off valve instead of the spray gun... http://autopia.org/forum/detailing-product-discussion/79908-just-got-my-new-toys-foam-gun-fun.html?highlight=ace+hardware
