Default Fulfilling my gearhead fantasy

Hello fellow cat people. I was able to (finally) purchase a brand I have always admired. I am into my second year of ownership of a gently used 2011 Jaguar XF with the 5.0L motor, navigation, park assist and backup camera. Kitty is Silver, with the standard 18" wheels, and charcoal interior with matte finished wood trim. She is hands down the most fun car I have owned (including an '86 Honda CRX Si, and '99 mercury Mystique V6 5 speed). With dynamic mode on and the tranny exercised with the "flappy paddles", I don't miss the third pedal much at all (and 70 + mph at rev limiter in 2nd - whee!).
I'll post a picture or two later - don't have any on my iPAD.

So far, I have been delighted with the car's reliability and dealer experience.
Thanks for reading my first rambling post. I look forward to more happy times here!
