First road trip in the bag. Mtl North and back to get a Leopard Gecko for the little guy. Car ate the miles effortlessly. Passing made me giggle. FE for the trip was an average of 8.8L/100km including some generous right foot moments and a bit of traffic in MTL. Not bad I think!

Little guy and m'lady loved the ride, both fell asleep on the way back haha. Oh, and it has built in Nav directions in the gauge cluster. Nice.

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Impressive fuel mileage.  I think you're going to have to plan some road trips when the weather gets better and vivid restrictions relax.

That is one GORGEOUS Sedan right there!!  Well done man, such a sweet sedan.......and very envious over here.  If you don't mind me asking, and certainly feel free to go pound sand, but what did you end up getting this for?  Just really curious is all.  Again though, a beauty of a Sedan......congrats!    :cheers:
Thanks man. I paid what the company had in it, not a penny more. They really took care of me in that regard. Have the sales manager and owner to thank. $35k plus tax. I thought it was a lot of car for that money, especially considering its condition and starting price!

Wow, that's an insane amount of car for $35k.  Good for you man, very happy for ya!   :thumbup: :cheers:

It is a 2015 XJL-R with the 5.0 Supercharged engine, 550hp/502tq. RWD on fat 295s in the rear.

That thing would be a beast on the autobahn. Remember similar big BMW's and Mercs blowing past me in my little Fiesta like I was standing still

My Miata is cool enough for me.  I'm too risk adverse to toy with FGC and FBC.  Chaos' risk is mitigated somewhat as I'm sure he'll get the employee discount for any servicing. 

Jags have always had sweet styling.  Just for fun I checked Auto Trader and I found a few for you GBA, although none as prestigious as Chaos' Black Beast:

I just think 'Jaguar' is such a cool name for an automaker.  So unique!

'I drive a Jaguar'.  That's just cool.  Jaguar.

Update: this car is awesome, and wins any drag race I decide to entertain. Looking for excuses to drive it places. Drove it to the dollar store yesterday, ironic I guess. All while heating and air conditioning my seat. Wow. Hakka R3s are fantastic in the snow too.

Mmmm, Hakka. I'm craving some Manchurian veggie balls and Hakka chow-mein noodles now.

Need more pictures.  The ones you took at the beginning of the thread are kind crap.  Can we get some good ones?  This car deserves it!
