A week with the Jag
This thing is a hoot.
It’s a stupid fast road car. Makes all the right noises which they balanced perfectly. You can hear it coming a couple blocks away even when driving like a normal person but it’s still quiet inside. Some odd stuff like the turn signals, no click clack when engaged, not sure i dig that. And no temp gauge, as in there is none which is a really odd choice for a car whose known quirks are water pump and coolant cross over pipe failures that lead to grenaded motors. Will be adding an aftermarket OBD gauge set to deal with that. But i am enjoying it. The balance of a daily driver and on demand hooligan mobile is perfect.

So this is the car they had a concern with before delivering it to you?
What was that all about? Good looking car.

This one came in the market same day that Carvana started the shenanigans. I canceled the Carvana deal because this one ticked all the boxes, a year newer so had the front end treatment i preferred and 4k less miles on it. And the interior sold me. I’ve not seen the two tone in another one.

I was wondering what interior that new car had. That ROCKS for sure. Is the headliner light colored too? I'm a white over tan type as black interiors are like being in a cave to me. That's a sweet ride with that interior.

Great looking car! I think the two tone interior is very nice.
It's like having a mustang or corvette without all of the stigma attached. Like James Bond kicking someone's butt while wearing a tux. When we bought my wife a vehicle about 1.5 years ago, we were mostly looking at medium SUVs. One of the vehicles that we looked at was an AMG GLC 43. I'd have loved that, but I think we are better off (since it's her car) with the 3.6 flat 6 outback.
