Default Happy birthday to me!

Well the big 70 is right around the corner. What to do? Buy an XKR convertible of course. I picked it up in the Chicago area Thursday evening and drove home Friday. The car is a joy to drive; the roads are awful. Both I-80 and I -76 have work zone after work zone, making it impossible to really make good time.


Liquid silver with charcoal interior and the burl wood trim. Standard 19" wheels and tires with less than 1000 miles since new. Only 16,000 miles, supported by Auto Check and Carfax. Looks like new. Just in time for nice Spring days and a sprint or two down the 1320.

Congratulations! You'll really enjoy this car. I have my own 2010 XKR liquid silver with warm charcoal interior (coupe) with a few black accent pieces. And by the way, Happy Birthday!

Thanks.

We have some fun roads here in N.J.; but they all have too much traffic. The joy of living in the most densely populated state.

Happy Birthday! Congratulations! And Thanks!
Thanks for taking the car out of the Chicago area, that means there will be one less for me to potentially see on the roads here, and mine becomes more exclusive.

You are welcome Mr. Exclusive. This car was in Prospect Heights, well north of you, so you may not have crossed paths. Surprisingly, here in the Princeton area we don't see many. Plenty of LR's for the soccer moms, and a good number of Teslas and Porsches.

Well done, buying an XKR at 70 or 80 is awesome. I plan on the same!

Happy birthday Rob, my XKR was a retirement present. I am extremely please with it, hope to take it to west Texas this Spring where I-10 is long and straight. Then drop down to the Davis Mtns. for some real fun.
