Hi - A fellow I worked with for many years used to make up nicknames for everybody he worked with and mine was Byodasa. It stuck (at least at work) so I use for my online name. (Just in case you were wondering.)

I'm in Bedford, MA and just purchased a used 2008 Jaguar XKR convertible. It's for my wife but I think we'll be sharing it a bit. It's my responsibility to make sure everything is working correctly - am I right? And that requires test drives...lots of them - am I right?

At any rate, this purchase is so new the car is not even here yet. It's on an enclosed transport carrier and is probably in NY as I type this. So we should have it in a couple of days. I'll add a pic to my signature after it gets here.

I've got a very general question right out of the gate and if this shoul be posdted elsewhere let me know. Can any members from my part of the country recommend (or not recommend) a good place for service?

Thanks!

Hello, Byodasa,
The car is for my wife but It's my responsibility to make sure everything is working correctly - am I right?
In my house that wouldn't be the case; My car, My responsibility. But my house is a bit unusual.
And that requires test drives...lots of them - am I right?
Absolutely! And , Any other excuse you can come up with! LOL
