Default New to the Jaguar Family

Just thought I would say hello, I am a huge Jaguar fan. I've always wanted one, my dad's '65 XKE roadster got me crazy about Jaguars and cars in general, and at 24 I now have my very own Jag and I love it. Now, I did go through some pain to get it, though.

Anyway, I now have a 2013 XF AWD, I've had it for just over three weeks now. But before mine was ready for me the dealership gave me a 2013 with around 2,600 miles on it, but I didn't make it five miles from the dealership before someone ran a red light and hit me, it made me sick to see such a pretty car like it was.





And all I received fro this was a few burns and scratches on my right arm, so I have to say this is a very safe car.


But now on to my car:

Thank you guys, loving it so far. This powertrain is so smooth, though it doesn't have quite the growl of the F-Type V8 S they had in the showroom when I picked it up haha.
