This 1st death was a suicide by choice: Early Sat. morning i was on the road when i saw a lightning coming up behind me on my way to my fishing hole, so i said what the heck, i hammered my `04 LE CC 4x4 to the floor. I know he heard the flowmasters kick because his windows were down and he was about 1/8 of a mile or less behind me. I could see him gaining on me slow but sure, but as he got closer to me another car was in his lane as he caught me and he had to brake and get behind me to pass the other car. At this time i was doing about 100mph and the road had a sharp curve just ahead so i slowed a bit and he passed me only to hit his brakes for a red light just ahead. I pulled up beside him and held up both hands and told him that i didn`t want any.. He was a nice guy and started to tell me how nice my truck looked and that the titans would run pretty good. I told him it runs good but nothing like a lighting.. At that time the light changed while we were talking and a escalade behind us layed on the horn and we looked at each other and nailed it at the same time.. The caddy had his window down so i know he got an ear full of rubber and duel exhaust, he disappeared real fast in our mirrors.. The lightning pulled away pretty quick but not as fast as i thought he would, the mighty titan held its own considering the weight differance.. I got behind him and he gave me thumbs up at the next light..He got on the interstate that i was getting on and when the coast was clear we nailed it again, and he was pulling away again but not as fast as i thought from all the hipe i have heard about those trucks.. Don`t know if the lightning trucks shut down at a certain speed but at 110mph the ford slowed and i passed him and kept pulling away. I hit 125mph and he was way behind me like 1/2 a mile or so and kept fading which gave me a boner...It was real early in the morning so there was only like 2 or 3 cars on the road which is the only reason we could run them like that..I am not a motorhead but i am the 2nd owner of the truck and it was the service managers truck at the dealership where i bought it from and they told me it had a few extras on it that was not stock.. I assumed they where talking about the visible stuff i could see on the exterior, but since i got a computer and started getting on TT i know there is more to it than what i can see.. I`ve been up to 130mph and still going and got scared.. All i can say is lucky me. My truck weighs 5850 lbs with a 1/2 tank of gas and my fat azz in the seat according to the scales at Tn. truck stops.. Don`t know what a lightning weighs but i am sure it is a lot less than mine.
