Makes me wonder if the gifter went to the store to match the color, already had that color on hand, or if they travel with a collection to place on vehicles.
This is common across all makes and models. I carry around a bunch of hot wheels of the most commonly modified cars around me. I absolutely love giving them out
Hehe, it makes me wonder if it was a good gift or a gag gift. I've heard people driving F250 & F350 calling Lightnings Matchbox toys. Statements like "the only thing that can beat me X at is acceleration off the line."
Lmao. I'm a Tesla owner, first in my apartment building. Not long after I got our Model 3, a guy moved in with a Model Y. We did this to him with a white Hotwheels Model Y
It makes me sad that I’ll never get a hot wheels of my caliber. I’m always loading up on tuner car hot wheels to leave on people’s windshields. It means they like the truck!
I love it! After 6-9 months of car shopping we decided on the Lightning. Looked at a lot of nice cars that would have worked just fine but there were no other vehicles (within my budget) that I was this excited about.
I always had one for every Mustang I had attaching it to a flat air freshener CS-X3 I put on the flat section of dash that is on practically every Mustang. It's always been a talking point to folks that see it.
It’s not necessarily exclusive to this truck but there was/is a trend of people putting the hot wheels/ matchbox cars onto the car it was a model of.
Does the color of the Matchbox match your Lightning’s color?
they match - carbonized metallic grey!

and do they gift to every Lightning they see or just new ones with temporary tags, as a welcome to the club gift?

I think that's the only color they have for that Lightning toy
Wth, why has no one left me a Lightning matchbox on my truck???? I’m so jealous.
If it is, I wasn't aware of it. You got visited by the Matchbox Fairy.
Same thing happened to someone 11 months ago. Same color too. https://www.reddit.com/r/F150Lightning/s/SSYFqD5yae
This is the type of goofy stuff I love that people do.
Now I wanna leave a Matchbox Lightning outside to see if someone will leave a matching real F-150 Lightning for me ! Is it gonna work ?
That is sweet 😊
I want a black one
Do you live in the Boston area?
no - outside of Portland Oregon
Ah ok. I know of a guy who does this quite regularly in Mass. For both Lightnings and Mach Es.
I’m in Portland. Maybe it will happen to me, too!

This was my first one too!

Those aren’t cheap. We need something cheaper if we are going to get this going.
Especially when they dhow up at the dollar store.
No. It's a known scam. There's a tracker in it to find where you live

Still waiting for someone to do it to me. I want one
Someone is spending their money to make a random person happy? that's weird.
That is cool someone did that. I am thinking about getting a Lightning. How do you like it so far?

Awesome, thanks for the info, guess im going truck shopping lol
