As for owning one. Personally, for me:
Ups:
The community
The smiles
The looks when somebody gets drug by a truck
etc...
Downs:
Hahaha, bout the only one I can think of is parking it for the winter, and filling the tank. That can suck sometimes.

You will love it. Nothing like a FAST truck, it's unexpected and quite resheshing.
They are awesome. I hate to sell mine but I will just have to suck it up. My loss is someone esles gain.
The look on ricers faces when they get smoked by a truck. That's my favorite. It says lightning on the side for a reason. Apparently ricers can't read. And they looks that you get as you pass someone. Everyone loves the looks of these trucks.
Pros - Infinite.
Cons - Losing all of your extra income.

Remember the old BMW comercial[sp] where the car emerges from between 2 big rigs at just the right moment, saving itself from being crushed. You can do it with a Lightning and a car trailer loaded. She loves gas but you'll love her.
Well my .02 on the topic is that I have had my “L” for only a few weeks and I love it, the torque is incredible on this 5.4 V8 S/C monster.
Get one you will not regret it I have never driven a truck like this in my life. You will under stand when you hear that S/C screaming and the torque kicks you right back in your seat. The only down side is that it loves gas and drinks it like its all good, but what do you expect it a Super Charged V8.
This truck is special and you will understand when you own one.

I agree with this post 95%....I don't have to worry about parking it during the winter here in FL
