Default Bought my Dream car-2003 XKR Convertible

Good morning,
Found my dream car online. Grabbed two plane tickets and flew a buddy of mine, and myself to Chicago and drove her home.
It's a 2003,XKR Convertible. 46615 miles on it when I picked it up. Never seen snow,and hasn't been driven over 2000 miles per year since 2006. This is going to make for a long winter,as I live in the Finger Lakes of NY. And this is my nights,weekends and when its NOT snowing toy.
This looks like a fantastic forum. Hope to get to know some of you guys.
Marc

Sqeet;

Looks great!

Nice wheels.

Good find.

Weather can't be that bad if you drove it home.

Hope you said Hi to everyone in Cleveland as you Swooped by.

Great thing about convertibles is that you don't have to buy a ski rack....just pop the top and throw the skis in the back seat.

Enjoy,

cheers,

jj

Nights are because I drive a company vehicle during the day for work. The"R" just wouldn't like some of the construction sites etc that I would put her through.

I figured you were 'cruising' at night and if guys have to ask then they aren't going to understand the answer.....

enjoy,
