We took the Lightning up the mountain today for some fun Easter cruising. That's whats awesome about Tucson is there are many of these :rockon: We also took it there because it might be the truck's last trip up these roads for a while since this will be taking its place for the mountain drive

Mike, bite me. :p You would take me straight line no doubt until the turbo kit goes in :-D Hell my own truck would take it! Chris will drive my truck to pick up the car, then ill race him home. im sure ill be owned but i do give it props. that thing sounds sweeet!

Oh i also looked at a silver lightning, with 75k miles and they wanted almost 21k for it. It was missing some panels due to the kickass sound setup they were apparently starting to work on and the engine was fairly stock. It had magnaflows and a bbk cai, that was about it. Also had a soundstream system installed, overall not a bad thing i guess but kinda hard to justify another truck if im not driving it. LOL

steeda: it sure was a fun drive. too bad my ball joints are bad and my tires are kinda toast but i almost got sick in some turns. lol you should try it sometime

is that the road that takes you to the old movie studio? if so, coming down the one section of road is very scary. so steep and narrow.

If youre talking about the Old Desert museum, no, this is about another 30 miles west. That road is fun too but this one is longer and more twisties by a long shot.
