Default Rest in Peace to my X-Type!

I was sitting at a red light and someone smashed into my Jag going about 80 mph. It pushed my car like 50 feet over the median and I crashed head on into a construction truck. It could have been deadly, but I survived... my Jag is dead tho.

There is a happy ending to this story. I was fortunate enough to find a really good deal on a way better Jag... so I am now the proud owner of a fully loaded 2007 XJR that is in perfect condition. Fell in love all over again and I will start customizing it very soon.

All stock right now... but it really is a totally different experience driving this luxurious beast compared to the "baby" Jag style x-type. The XJR is more like the big "daddy" version! Way more power and a ton of gadgets and special features that my x-type didn't have. I especially love the bluetooth phone module that connects to my cell phone, the Jaguar Voice commands, the telescoping steering wheel, the folding side mirrors, and the extra space you get from the cabin and the trunk!

First I want to get the new style mina gallery grilles top and bottom like I had on my x-type and a different exhaust setup to give it a good growl to go with the powerful supercharged V8 engine. I bought this car from a limousine service company that was closing its business and since I paid cash I got it for a deal of a lifetime. Plus it was very well maintained and always in the garage. They used to charge people $80 an hour just to ride in this car. lol
