When your car is the nicest thing on a flatbed tow truck, because your transfer case just blew.

Default You know...

You know you're in an X-type when you wash and wax your 6-year-old car once a week.

You know you're in an X-type when you check this forum every single day.

You know you're in an X-type when you check pricing on used XJRs in your area constantly.

You know your in an X-Type when you have to lift up on the door handle 3-4 times before the door will open...

This thread is hilarious.

...until you exhale and the windows fog up!

and take corners like an old irish nun...

people you know say "you must be getting paid too much"

OMG, that sums up my first week of owning this car...

You know you're in an X-Type when people say "I thought there would be more space in the back"....

You know your an X-type when the pretty girl at the stop light looks at you with doller sights in her eyes, when your really work at bugerking.

Youy know your a X-type when you have to keep a stock of hood emblems on hand, just in case.

I had to laugh at some, if not most of these!

I've only had the car for a few days and already I've had passengers ask what the buzzing noise is, how do you open the door and I've contorted myself and skinned my knuckles trying to get the cover back on the headlights.

My contribution:

You know you're in an X-Type when you don't mind driving in the snow / rain but are scarred sh*tless of driving at night no matter what the conditions.

You know you're in an X-Type when the only bulbs that last more than a week are OEM's.

You know you're in an X-Type if the DSC makes all-season tires perform better on wet ice than 1" of snow.

You know you're in an X-Type if the dealer will only give you another X-Type as a loaner.

You know you're in an X-Type if the NAV radio screen illuminates the interior more than the halogens light up the exterior.

You know you're in an X-Type if there's a leaper on your hood but you can only afford regular gas.

You know you're in an X-Type if your car whistles when you're lips are too cold to pucker.

You know you're in an X-Type if you paid cash for your Jag but you're nowhere near retirement.

You know you are in an X-Type when you pull up to an all-British car show and the old guy at registration asks "where is the car you are entering?" (true story).

You know you're in an X Type when you're driving at triple digit speeds with all the windows closed but it sounds like they are wide open.

You know you're in an X Type when other people see you and say, "Ha, nice Taurus" then you have to politely remind them that it is in fact based on a Mondeo, not a Taurus. "..But the Mondeo is like the best car in Europe!"

You know you're in an X Type when you hit the gas pedal hard and it asks, "Are you sure? Oh alright, on we go then." (in a James May accent)

You know you're in an X Type when the repair bill at the dealer is more than the car is worth. Even if you're going by the "suggested retail value" on Kelley Blue Book.

You know you have an X-type when you can jack the car up to reach a 45 degree angle so that you can drain the TC.

^LOL

And they need a "special tool" to do the alignment when in fact the only special tool will be you if you let them get away with it....


You know you drive an X type when you visit the forums at any point in time and there is at least one active NEW thread about:

IPOD/IPhone/Blutooth -whatever gaget hook up question
Cruise Not Available
Whine or high pitched noise in cold weather
Transmission is toast one way or another
I'm looking to buy my first X Type and have questions
Brake job questions/advice (and someone spells brakes, as in the things that stop the car - "breaks")
Oil Leak

You know your in an X-type when you sit in a 2007 BMW 328 and feel like our sitting in a plastic toy bin.

You know you in x type when it starts up in minus in 50 degrees celcuis while your dad's brand new ford needs a boost......EVERY MORNING.


You know your in x type when the local law enforcement think you sell drugs to pay for a 9 year old car.

You know your in a x type when the next car over at a light is a xjr and the driver snickers as he pulls away.


This is hilarious
