For some 26 years I drove a 1989 Honda Prelude. Finally sold it (with less than 43,000 miles on it!) after I procured a 2007 Jaguar X-Type, fully optioned, in Chili Red Metallic, ivory interior, with just 63,00 miles. It took me almost six months to find this one. (I missed out on a few good prospects only because they were so far from me.) This one's very nice, though I find the 18" Aruba wheels too hard riding for my tastes. I'll probably downsize to 17" wheels.

I live in Washington and don't drive much (as you've already guessed), which is fortunate because I know my gas bill will be higher than with the old Honda. The car is just 8" longer than the old Prelude but it just feels so much bigger (it certainly is inside). Still getting used to close quarters maneuvering as I don't have a feel for where all the edges are yet, and the rear "proximity" warning starts beeping when I'm many feet away. (Maybe I'll add a camera to work with my Garmin.) Anyway, wish me good fortune with my new-ish ride.

 

Hello, Raymond,
Congratulations on your 'new' Jaguar!
No more than you drive this car should last you at least 26 years!

Oops! Thought my sig would include my photo. Bear with me as I work through my newbie phase.

 

Raymond,

The usual reason for a SigPic not appearing is exceeding the file size limit.

The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 100 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller).
