Default Bought another car today - not an X-type but still 3.0L AWD

Now that I've bought this one, I've owned 13 of these model cars since I turned 17. I'm not 24 and have quite a collection of weekend cars. Here is my latest addition to the family. I've been looking for this year/color combo for 2 years now.....

I have to stop doing this!!!! I have three of the exact same make/model car sitting in the damn driveway. At least they are all different colors I guess you could say I'm obsessed with these cars.

Not bad looking for a car that was built in 1993 huh?

These pics are in front of my old house. In one of the pics you can see the burgundy 3000GT behind the Stealth. I miss my 3000GT

Yes, the car weighs in an 3800 lbs, but with 300hp, AWD, and twin turbos backing it up, you can't really tell. As nimble as the X-type is it wouldn't stand a chance in a handling match against a 3000GT VR4. I could care less about the standard stealths and 3000gts- as far as I'm concerned, if it isn't a twin turbo model, it needs to be buried in a hole and forgotten.

To be honest, I seriously doubt ANY Jag could outhandle a 3000GT VR4/Stealth R/T TT. They may be old and heavy but they make up for it.
