Default My awesome XK8

My baby is a 1999 and has 170k miles. Everything works P E R F E C T and I want to keep it like that! Any advise on any special plans? I know she's old and at some point will give me a headache but so far she has been the perfect car (I think I'm developing feelings for her). I think she loves me 2...

Welcome cokeloco, and congratulations on a great car. My 2002 XKR is closing in on 160,000 miles, still looks like new, runs great, and puts a smile on my face everyday.

Good luck.

Default Thx guys!

I believe that those issues were fixed by the first owner already but I'll keep my eyes open. In the mean time I will enjoy my love affair with this beautiful car. At least I won't be worried about putting to many miles on her! Can we marry a car?
