    Hi, I'm looking around for alternatives to the gas guzzling Lightning and came across a Nissan 350Z Touring model that seems pretty nice. Can someone please run the vin for me on Carfax? I want to make sure it wasn't traded in due to an accident. Thank you, JN1AZ34D94T152536 - Jake

    Lightning Struck: Ford decides to shelve SVT Lightning pickup

    This sucks man. Oh well...I hope they revive it. Part of me thinks this is a marketing ploy by Ford to sell the rest of the 04 Lightnings, but who knows. http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=101065
