Hey guys my name is Austin and I'm 16. A little young to be on a Jaguar forum, probably, but hey why not!

So I'm assuming you guys are wondering what this little spoiled brat has well, I wouldn't say I'm spoiled, just really lucky. I drive a 1996 xj6 Vanden Plas and I would have to say I am in love, LITERALLY.

It's awesome, everything about it I just love. Now back to the whole "Lucky" thing.

Well basically my first car was going to be a 2001 Ford Excursion, with out a doubt one of the worst cars for gas mileage. You get 11 mpg no matter what, end of story, no 12mpg if you treat her nice, no straight 11 mpg.

So me being the great salesman that I am convinced my parents to sell it as they could make money off of it and get me a more fuel efficient car.

So with a whole world of cars within my grasp I when straight to the BMW's and Benz's, because that's what all the cool kids drive.

So with a 2001 325i waiting for me at the dealership we proceeded on to test drive the car. But to my dismay the car was apparently sent to auction the day before.

So my day was ruined no car for me today but the salesman that was helping us mentioned a jag(bless his heart).

But again to my dismay my parents said no in a flash as it was a "sport car and it would raise insurance, even tho it's a luxury sedan."

So again the salesman came in to save the day and let us take the car on a test drive. And the rest is history.

So yeah I hope you liked my short story And hopefully someday I can say that I've bought a Jag for myself.

TL;DR: Hello I'm Austin and I drive a 1996 xj6 Vanden Plas I highly suggest reading my short novel, there are probably a whole bunch of grammar mistakes, so have fun pointing them out to me

 

Forgot to add the mileage it has 139k. Is there edit post tool?
