Thanks very much! It came from Englewood, NJ. Previous owner lived in Manhattan.

Two months in Splendid Cat. How are you liking your new ride?

Hi Sean. When I bought it, since I'm pretty conservative with my spending, I feared I'd suffer from buyer's remorse. To my shock and surprise, I have not felt even slightest bit of regret since I bought the car. Every time I look at it, I love that car more each time. I find myself going to the garage every night before I go to bed just to look at it one more time! It's such a pleasure to drive and is like a work of art to look at. Without doubt, it's the most beautiful car in town and one of the most beautiful cars ever made, imo.

I don't use it as a daily driver, but I still am able to get behind the wheel several times a week, even if for just a short drive. It's so stinking hot here this time of year I've not driven it to work as much as I will when the weather cools off.

Mechanically, I haven't run into any issues so far and haven't made any changes to the car other than taking off the front license plate bracket. I'm considering getting a ceramic coating done, but haven't done much research yet, so I don't know if that's a good idea or not.

In short, I'm still as in love with this car as I was the first time I saw it. Thanks for checking in!

Dear SC:

Beautiful ride. I have had mine now for 4 months. I just purchased a larger factory XKR spoiler for it last week and will get it painted and installed soon. But if I am having a bad day, and Lord everyone has them, I just go sit in my ride and crank it up to hear it rumble. It gives me a smile every time I get in it. You have got a beautiful car. It looks factory new. I know you will love it like we all do. I know how you felt getting your car. I could not sleep the night before either. Mine came in a enclosed transport delivered to my home. I was like a kid with a new toy. My wife got a picture of me when it rolled out of the trailer. Grinning from ear to ear. Congrats and welcome to XK club.

Joe
