Mine is in the shop and the app shows the hood is open... Nice to be able to keep tabs on it while out of my hands

 

Wait until the next time you check and it says Odometer is 250 miles and it's parked at that Starbucks!

 

On my test drive the other day, we stopped for fuel. The sales guy pumped but I heard somebody else tell him not to bring the car back unless he left the keys.

 

Pulled up to a stop light Saturday with my windows down. I'm about two feet short of being nose to nose with a Ford SUv. The passenger, slumping in his seat not looking "all there" rolls the window down, has his head hanging out looking back blankly...

As I expect to see a line of drool extending toward the pavement, he articulately states in a muted voice "THAT's a very nice car!"

Here, I thought he was drunk and he was just awestruck.

 

Do any of you find your car gets confused for another brand often (I'm guessing mostly by non-car people)?

I just got my F-Type and the very first reaction as I'm driving thru downtown is a woman looking admiringly at the car and turning to her male companion and saying "What is that?" at which point he looks the car up and down, looks thoughtful for a moment, and yells out "Nice Maserati man!!"

 

My yard guy thought it was a Maserati because his brother has two. I parked next to a Maserati convertible last week and had to look twice before I realized it wasn't a Jag...

 

I've gotten two reactions from folks who don't look closely. Maserati most often with Aston Martin occasionally.

Recent reactions have me thinking about the line I heard from a friend when I got it that "that car is going to cause an accident". Well now I know what he means. On Saturday on my way to cars and coffee was traveling on the highway in the right lane. A beat up Saturn struggling to pull along side. I slowed down a little bit to give them a chance (just the kind of guy I am). Both driver and passenger gawking and smiling. Well that continues for a few hundred feet till the Saturn veers off the road to the left. He saved it just in time from a drainage ditch culvert. He ended up back on the highway and settled in behind me and gave a sheepish waive. I waived back and punched the gas.

 

good to be bad

 

They were paying so much attention to the F-Type they almost lost it. Worse than a smart phone!

 

Was getting out of my car after parking at the rear of a parking lot with no other cars around to go to breakfast. As I started walking away, a young couple was walking from the restaurant to their car.

The young gal pulled out her mobile phone to take a picture rather sheepishly. Then, she said, "my nephew loves cars and he will drool over this one". I told her to feel free to go over and take as many pictures as she likes. I just smiled and kept on walking toward breakfast...

 

I had multiple pics being taken as I drove on Rodeo. However, the funniest reaction is when I was at a red light (on Rodeo) and a white Huracan pulled up beside me. An older Asian woman was at the corner looking at us, then bent down, and immediately dropped her arm (as in waving a green flag) when the light turned green. It was a rather fun drive after that.

 

Hahahahahahahahaha!

 

So finally I decided to pull the trigger on a 15 F type R. I was on a test drive for an audi r8 and a black F type R flew by us like we were standing still. Not to mention the exhaust sounded like a wild animal. Instantly my test drive was over and straight to the Jaguar Dealer. I couldn't stop myself from buying this beautiful 2015 silver F type R.

First thing I noticed about this car is that I will be getting into trouble with it. I have never wanted to just listen to the exhaust for the whole trip.
I soon noticed everyone with fast cars wanted to race on freeway. Revving their engines at me and gesturing to race. I guess for some reason all these people want a piece of the F type R. I had to race at least a few but after scaring myself and thinking about the high speeding tickets I decided to stop while I was ahead.

What have I done? Every time I drive this car it will be a mental battle The devil and angel on my shoulder. " Devil says" : Stuff your foot deep to the floor and burn those tires. " Angel says " Just drive slow and cruise you don't want a speeding ticket. Im sure many of you feel the same way. Cheers Jaguars got some serious *****.

 

You are not alone! I think maybe you should search the installed radar detector thread

 

Yesterday in Oakland - "Is that the new Mustang"
lol!

 

Colleague at work- "I can't stop staring at your car"

 

Nooooooo

 

Yesterday I went to the suburbs to visit my mom. I park in the driveway and walk to her front door when I hear people walking by:

Guy's voice: Hey! I'm gonna go stand next to it! Can you take a picture of me by the driver's side?

I just cracked up and went inside.

 

Driving home from the dealership (literally never parked the car in my garage) at exactly the speed limit. Pulled over by state police.

"You know you don't have a front license plate."
"I've got a custom bracket at home, but I haven't even gotten there yet!"
"This is such a cool car. I pull over bentleys and porsches all the time."
"...." (cop walks around the car)
"You can go. Have a nice day."

 

Scottish guy comes up beside me in the queue at a cafe where I had stopped to get lunch. He says in a broad Scottish accent quite Sean Connery "I don't usually do envy, but in your case I'll make an exception"
