It's An X-Rated, Hard Core Monster for the Terminally Unhinged
...or so says Jeremy Clarkson.
New ride. I didn't realize I would miss having a sports car but I really did. Traded in the Challenger for this...2015 F-Type S, 20,000 miles, CPO, nearly fully loaded. This is for you Spence! |

Congrats! Striking cars. Wife wants one but I'm not willing to go back to work to get her one.
Bring that monster to Rosa's and let's get some proper photos! |

That's technically a 2015 F-Type S. 380 HP, 0-60 in 4.3 sec., 19 City/27 Highway (you'll get better). It's the best handling, quietest, best exhaust note, and plushest interior around. Oil filters are almost $30, but you can go 7,500 miles between changes. Most quick-change places don't have the correct filter, but the German-made filter sold by Jaguar is better.
Congratulations! |

Nice car, Mike. In a land of cars that often look similar, the Jag does not.
A lady here in Chatsworth I know has one. She also said the V8 was just too much. So, you did well too. |

Don't get me wrong...the SRT was a GREAT car. Never a problem, fast as blazes, comfortable, and truth be told, light years ahead of the Jag in terms of infotainment. I'm just really not a muscle car guy anymore. I just had to get it out of my system. I REALLY loved the last gen XKR, but the interior was just too stodgy. And it was all old tech. Otherwise I'd have gotten one. |

Very nice, Mike. I love the looks of the F-Type. I'd buy one over a C7 any day of the week, however, I don't fit in either.
Enjoy your new ride! |
