Hey Guys/Gals,

Just wanted to make a fun thread to commonly associate all the ins and outs of the ownership/daily use of your car, I'll put in a few below..


You Know Your In A X-Type When....

Passengers ask why the car is buzzing still when we get in/out..

You go to lock the car with your transmitter and your too far away but you can almost touch the car.

When the car is wet, you pray not to go in limp mode and avoid big puddles.


Add in all yours, lets keep em going.

 

When your piers think that you're a stuck up snobby rich guy, even though you only paid 12k for the car.

 

People in new BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Audi are looking at you! And your car is 6 years old!

 

I hear a there.

You know your ina x type when the cop pulls you over to search your vehicle for looking too young

you know your in a x type when you drive by a bmw stuck in snow

And you know your in a x type when you google jaguar x type performance enhancement mods and you get zero results and a google correction asking if you were looking for male enhancement pills instead

 

So True.



When you think about either passing a person on the highway or think about how much the repair bill will be if the trans goes out and decide not to.

 

when you're driving along and hear a steady whine when cold

When people you know say " you must be getting paid too much" cos you're driving a 4 yr old X type

 

when you swear you have a door or window open with the road noise
when the repair estimate is more than the car is worth
when you hear a hissing noise when cold followed by "cruise not avail" message
when you hit a pothole in the road only to see your headlights suddenly point to the ground

 

I have to agree with the people thinking you're rich thing...what the hell, I only paid 5k for my 03 3.0

 

When you get through the snow with ZERO issues and 4wd trucks and other cars are stuck all around you.

+1: And the looks you still get from people when its 6 yrs old

 

When you pull up to a stoplight and someone says: "Nice car you rich piece of Sh*%"

no seriously, this TRULY happened to me

 

You know you are in an X-type when you see other drivers looking at you in awe...until you exhale and the windows fog up!

 

You know you are in an X type when someone says "Mondeo" and you immediately get pissed off enough to punch them in the junk.

 

you know your in a x-type when you spend $40.00 to fill up, then take the car straight home so you can park it and drive your 40 mpg toyota.

 

When you pull into a gas station and someone asks you for grey poupon mustard....seriously.
Or when you're friends see the car for the first time and think you must be making more money than they thought.
You take a client out in the car and they think you're making too much money.

 

You spend thousands of hours agonizing over our wheel selection and the 5x108 bolt pattern.

You envy 10-year-old XJ and XK models and somehow feel inadequate when passing them on the freeway.

People yell at you "nice Contour" in North America or "nice Mondeo" in Europe.

 

Anyone mistaking your car for a contour needs a shot in the face! Although I get a lot of, WTF kind of car is that? Then the obligatory Jaguar makes a Station Wagon!!!???

 

you know you drive an x type when,you lock ur keys in trunk and have to take a fifty buck cab ride to get spare fob,cause there is no folding seat switch in car
..you know you drive an x type when you try to ghange a head light and end up cotorting yourself like a yoga master.
you know you drive an x type when ..you lean on the center consol,and end up in ur passenger's lap.
you know you drive an xtype ,when on day one ,you have a big smile on ur face smell leather..and take corners like an old irish nun...

 

You know you drive an X-type when you put the car in reverse and just hear one long beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep......

 

You know your are in an X:

When someone riding w/ you says "Cool, you got dual zone climate control" because your vents are blowing hot and cold air at the same time.

Seriously tho, fixed that problem a long time ago and still love my car. This thread is hilarious.

 

you know your in a X-type when the vents pop out......for the tenth time.

when your quoted $1300 for brake pads and rotors.

when someone thinks your extremely rich because you drive a Jaaaag
