That feeling one gets in the passenger seat on their first experience in the lightning when you floor it from a standstill.

My wife turned white as a ghost, lol, and she used to race go karts as a child.

I know exactly what you're saying the Mrs. doesn't enjoy the launch either, I save it for when I'm alone or any of my buddies are riding shotgun with me!

I have to remember to disable Bluetooth on my phone when doing a full throttle launch. Otherwise my phone will notify State Farm that I had an acceleration gig though their Drive "Safe and Save" discount beacon.

..........Whatever you are 'saving', it's not worth it.

Snapshot with Progressive "supposedly" saved me about $100/6 months. Not life changing but not spare change either. Did ding me for hard braking one time when I was trying to see what the truck would do if I covered the eye tracker and didn't always detect I was the passenger correctly.

Saw vid o by an attorney that goes after insurance companies for proper settlements etc. He claimed that they mostly use the data to get out of claims. If it records 26mph in a 25mph zone, they will use that to deny a claim. Says it's just not worth it. But some are most worse about it than others. He in particular hates Allstate.

I declined that offer when I did some business with them recently. I'm coming from a custom tuned Coyote to the Lightning, I wanna catch the road runner this time :cool: beep beep my ass.
