    I used to have a 2003 Jaguar XK, but it was in the shop 1/3rd of the time I had it. If I ever bought an export I'd forgoe anything Euro (because there is a huge lack of Mechanical Support that doesn't Cost an Arm and a Leg) on the West Coast. And Probably end up buying a Japanese Car, and my only problem with Japanese Cars is that the largest engine any manufacturers make is a V6. Not that I would mind a V6 if I was terribly worried about gas mileage, but if I was buying a car with fuel mileage in mind, I'd just as soon have a 4 Cylinder and forget about the hp altogether.

    The V6 isn't too much of a barrier to engine power-the most powerful Mitsubishi Evo IX clocks in at 360 Bhp, and it's only a 2.0! One of those things would absolutely blitz pretty much any other road car you could think of.

    As an aside-how the heck can you afford cars like this if you're only twenty two?!

    ...well, I was willed a large inheiritance(sp?) after my father's death.

    enough to say, never really having to worry about money for the rest of my life, and god willing if I don't go overboard, enough for my Children's Children to never have to worry about it either.

    DON'T tell anybody you don't trust where you live. You may have people like me driving there with our 99 Dodge Avenger ES's begging for a "loan". By the way, did you know that cars can go bald like people. Except it's with paint and not hair (but I do live in da hood so it's a better theft deturant than a car alarm )

    Hmm, is the poor spelling humorous or embarassing?
