I just purchased a used 2006 X-Type 3.0 AWD with just a little over 24000 miles. This is my first Jag and all I gotta say is .

Damn, you guys have alot of smileys....

 

Diggin the smileys huh, yah..that came with our long awaited forum software update early 2009.

Welcome to the forums black cat, glad to have you around!

 

Welcome to the forums

 

Welcome Black-Cat, enjoy your Jag, and you will understand the reasons for the smileys;-)

 

Welcome!!

(I'm still waiting on the pancaked-headed rabbit explanation)

 

Welcome Black Cat, where are you at? Congrats on your X purchase!

 

I'm in New Jersey

 

Welcome Black Cat, I'm a newbie also but like me I am sure you will find this a super friendly forum with a wealth of knowledge and great humor. Congratulations on your new Jag purchase.

 

Welcome Black Cat, small word. How long have you lived in Carteret. I used to work at the WIZ headquarters there. Used to run to "Burger Express" for pork roll and cheese with a coffee all the time. Is it still there? It's been years since I've been up there. I grew up in Jersey. A large part of my family is still there. Dad in Flemington, Grandma in Somerset (Franklin twnshp), and my cousin in Millstone, just to mention a few. Plan on visiting in January. Oh yea, congrats on the Jag!

 

I just moved to Carteret but I'm familiar with the area. Originally lived in Rahway, on the Clark border. I won't be leaving the Jag unattended on any Carteret streets for any length of time. The apartment complex I moved into is gated and there are couple more expensive cars in the complex than my X-Type so I'm not too worried.

Burger Express is still around but not in the same location. They are now on Port Reading Ave, about 1 block up from the Fire & Police Stations.

 

Yea, no street parking. That was the culture shock I got when I moved to Ohio..I wouldn't hesitate to park mine in any neighborhood in Akron. Even what they call bad here is a joke..Glad to see that Burger Express is still around. It was a neat family owned version of fast food. That is one of the things I miss about Jersey. Everything here is a franchise of something. These Ohioans have no clue what a real deli or pizza is...

Nice talking to someone from "home". Have great luck with that new Jag of yours.

 

welcome to forums and congrats on new car

 

Howdy Black Cat

Bon Appetite, maybe meet up with jonijoni

 

I've heard of Slymans corned beef.

I will concede that Cleveland does have some good places. More German and Polish than the Italian and Jewish style that predominates Jersey. But Akron is real weak.... Now that Primos link you gave sparked my interest. And I will be sure to check out your In-Laws restaurant... Thanks for the heads up!

But I still miss Jersey pizza!
