Hi!

It's nice to meet you. My name is Elizabeth Finn and I am a doctoral student at Ohio State University. (I graduate in two weeks--Yay!)

I've had my 2001 XJ8 Vanden Plas since May of 2012. Aprox 99,000 miles now. Love that car. Absolutely beautiful! I bought it after some drug addict torched my old Rav 4 right in front of my apartment in broad daylight. True story!

I joined this forum because while it's been a really fun car to own while in graduate school, I have to part ways with it when my husband and I move and will be putting it up for sale shortly. Looking forward to getting to know some of you!

Hello, Elizabeth,
One thing about living out here in the Stix, no one bothers coming this far cause trouble, unless one has made enemies of a certain class of people.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

I'm curious, Jerry-- why not sell? I had a great relationship with the car, but I fear our time is over! What would be the advantage of not selling?
