The reliability remains an open question--I'd be dishonest if I didn't cop to that. Giving up a 2000 Acura RL with 165K on it that has NEVER failed me in any way.
WOW! CW congrats. Nice car. Jag is more trouble free now than it was, say, 20 years ago. If you look at car reliability stats, the amazing thing is that ALL cars are now remarkably trouble free. Look what we ask of them. We EXPECT 5K miles without losing so much as a half a quart of oil. That is pretty spectacular considering we used to have to burn oil in the gasoline just to provide lubrication. You will have a blast with your new ride. Now, for your next car, take a look to the 'Four Rings' :-)
Yet another glaring difference between officers and enlisted. An officer buys a Jag knowing full well they are an unreliable pieces of junk, but they project the patrician image so necessary to one's self esteem. An enlisted guy buys a Z28 and bitch-slaps all those rice-rockets out on the Interstate. Plus 20 year old little trollops want to play popcycle with you. No contest.

CW - It is a sweet ride. I hope you have many trouble-free years of motoring in her.
ReplyDeleteThank you, sir. Though the brand does not necessarily have such a reputation....:)

ReplyDeleteI think the blog would be well-served to come up with recommended Vanity Plate suggestions:
"MO MONEY"
"HOO PIMP"
Ahh, British engineering! Right up there with British dentistry and cuisine. But you will look mahvalous in it, darling.

I'm a little disappointed that you didn't go with the Prius.
ReplyDeleteGood thing there's no self-esteem pumping going on with all that "bitch slapping" and "popcycle" playing.....
ReplyDeleteGopod luck and Happy Motoring Bryan. You deserve the best.
ReplyDeleteHappy Motoring...that can only be one person!
ReplyDeleteJaguar? You must be making plenty of $$ in the Obama recession...
