Greetings Jag Forum! My name is Russell, and I am the proud owner of a 2010 XF Supercharged. You can find me prowling the streets of Houston in a white on beige XF.

A little back story:

I have always been a huge speed guy and after college, I took a major leap forward in the performance game. As soon as I had the money, I sold my 2002 Ford Focus SVT and bought a modded 2003 Corvette Z06.





Needless to say, this car was nuts. I daily drove this bad boy for 2 years and had a lot of fun in it. Unfortunately, in March of 2012, some stupid girl decided to t-bone me and total my car. Not a fun day







As you can see, after I got t-boned, my car spun around and ran up a curb. That contact completely wrecked everything in the back end. So, now that I had a nice big check in hand from the insurance company, it was time to go shopping again.

After daily driving a big cammed, heavily modified vette everyday, I knew I wanted something way more comfortable, spacious, and everyday friendly but still very fast and fun. I looked at CTS-Vs, E55 AMGs, M5's, and of course the XF SC/R. Ultimately, the XF S/C was the perfect combination of speed, performance, and comfort, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I love everything about the car!

I actually flew to Atalanta to buy the car and drove it back to Houston.

The day I picked her up:






After the 800+ mile drive


And how she looks today with fresh tint



And one more for good measure




Well that's my story. Hopefully it wasn't too boring. I plan to be around for the long haul and hopefully can contribute lots. Happy driving!!!

 

Welcome to the forum Russell,

Good to have you with us.
The Vette is a mess, I hope the Jag has got rid of the sad face in the wrecker picture.

You should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

welcome, and damn do we have alot of Houston Jag owners or what

 

Well, the car is originally from Georgia, but I got it here as fast as I could

Maybe we should get a meet and drive day sometime...

 

Set it up

 

I know you're sad that your vette was totaled, but looking at the damage, be thankful that you weren't totaled too.

Enjoy your new ride!

 

Hello and welcome,

That was some serious impact. Good to see you weren't injured.

The XF S/C looks great.

Graham
