Sorry to hear about the issues. Hopefully the dealer has a competent tech on it, so that you don't have to keep taking it back for the same problem.

If the miles are low enough, it might have a high enough trade in value to put toward the Jag and keep a relatively affordable monthly payment.

Might be time to start shopping for that Euro sled...

I kid. Self depricating humor doesnt work well over text I guess lol. I mean all the meets we hold out here revolve around food for a reason haha

There's always some risk in banter. That's what makes it rewarding.

What's wrong with her Subaru other than the fact that you leaned on it and dented it? Can't that be a "retirement car"?

No it is the pre retirement car. The retirement car will be something much nicer than a Subaru.

There are nicer cars than a Subaru?

A friend of mine had a 2011 XJ. Now this guy is one of the most anal guys I know. The car was babied and shined every week. That car was always at the shop. He just bought a new F-Pace. That thing is plush.

So he sells the XJ for next to nothing (14k) and the new owner gets about 100 yards and the car breaks down. I hope he has better luck with the F-Pace.

I've never known anyone that had good luck with Jaguar.

I thought it looks like he was going to eat my head! It was the heat display at the Tech Museum in Portland. He was actually looking down at the pic on my phone. As you can see by the much greater area of light blue I have I am far hotter than Ultra!

I made it to Willows! Definitely another middle of nowhere rest stop town.

Nice, glad you had a safe drive up. What hotel are you staying at?
