I miss my Jaguar. It was the low-end X-type sports package model. In MGB Racing Stripe green (which I called money green). And a burlwood dash. 6-way automatic heated leather seats with lumbar support. Climate control, automatic windshield wiper sensors, heated side mirrors (they defrosted themselves). A subwoofer in the back. 6-cd changer. Long, sleek, sexy curves. It wasn't my #1 Jaguar dream-car but I got it for $20k still under warranty so I couldn't say no. Lost the transmission on it a year later and traded it in for the piece of crap tin can I still drive today, 12 years later.
If I'm ever super wealthy, I'll buy TWO Jaguars. 1985 XJ Vanden Plas, fully restored, both in racing stripe green, with updated sound system. Need two, so that I always have one to drive while the other is in the shop being fixed. It's the same as owning a Harley.
