Pretty awesome reflective article on the F-Type by Jalopnik. Seemed apropos considering some of the discussion here lately, too.

I visited my long time Doctor last week with some chest pains. After a exam including a EKG he said that I "tend to burn the candle at both ends" and the pain was most likely stress related as my heart is in excellent condition.![Icon Hyper](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_hyper.gif)
He is a car nut so I mentioned the new purchase of our F-Type Coupe R and as I was his last patient he wanted to see it. He told me the F-Type is on his wish list and it's the most beautiful car ever made.
I let him sit in the seat a bit and he grinned and said "my RX for your stress is at least 30 minutes a day in the Coupe"..

Be careful with the Stress. My doc tells me that's what caused my heart attack! (since you bought the F-Type though you're taking a preventative approach!)
Maybe I should try to send my invoice to my insurance company and see if they cover the "therapy" sessions...

Great article so thanks for sharing. As far as stress my F Type actually cause some for me instead of relieving it sometimes. For example this morning I had to ride through a construction area that had TONS of crap on the road and it was kicking up crap all over my car which made me just cringe. Then I get to work and there's no good parking spots available so I had to park in a questionable spot. If I had driven my other car(G35 coupe) I wouldn't have cared or stressed about any of it. Still absolutely love my F Type though. Its just so nice that I find myself worrying about it sometimes.

Whew! $120K is quite a bit away from my price point but I'm waiting till next year to get my hands on a pristine 2014 V8 S. If I had the money I would probably pull the trigger on a MY2016. I drove a fully loaded 2015 Corvette vert and a 2016 R vert on the same day last month and for me the R was the better car overall but not $40k better. Still, the R justs does something to your soul that no other car has been able to do to me. The damn car is just a special piece, period!

Nice article. I totally agree, every time I drive I grin, that's got to be a good thing. Sometimes going through a tunnel I cackle out loud, so does my son.
I agree that too many cars now are trying to be too much that's why I love the F type, and in some ways why I like my V6S RWD vert even more. It is just trying to be fun and beautiful nothing else, it isn't trying to be a supercar, it isnt trying to be a family car it isn't trying to be an off roader it is t even trying to be practical, although it's not as impractical as some, just balanced, great sounding, fun and beautiful.
