Been through it, coming down 95. Don't know much about it though. It is 1/2 way between Reno and Las Vegas though.

Day two page two. Good afternoon Nevada.

That's why I was thinking about there. It would be a bit longer drive for me but with the gas prices where they are it is doable.

Thanks for the link. Now that we may have a place to meet we need to come up with a date for the meet. Holidays have been blacklisted at my work. What are days of the year that are good for everybody?

Good afternoon NV. How is everybody doing today?

I was on the National Lightning Owners Club (NLOC) website. I found a link to the following video on one of the stickies. Flash » Posting And You...

Hope you find it interesting as well.

Now for my rant.

On the NLOC site I found an ad from someone parting out a 1994 lightning. I contacted the owner and we came to an agreement of $120 for the gauge cluster including Priority shipping. He has cashed the money order but I have not received the part yet and even with the holidays I should have received the gauge cluster. He is not returning any of my phone calls. I think I have been ripped off.

That sucks, Jeff. I hope it's just held up in the mail or something.

You may be able to find the person with a little research.

He just called me. He said that he was busy pulling the motor and had not gotten around to pulling the cluster. He said that he is going to ship the part tomorrow. So that means I should have it in about 4-8 business days. Once I get it installed and recalibrated I will take pics.

That's good that he called you. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

You've been looking for that cluster for quite some time now, haven't you?

About a year now. Since losing a race due to the speed limiter kicking in. After a bit of research I came across an article on the Gen1 lightning that had a speedo pic in it. Since then I have been looking for one.

I'm not sure about a date, but I'll be driving through there on a regular basis while I'm working in AZ. I won't have my truck though....
