Bought the Jaguar XJ8

It's a great car. Oh my GOSH it's a great car. C test-drove it tonight and fell in love.  Just as I did a couple nights ago.

Then she drove a 1995 Mercedes S-class with a big-boy V12. It felt so familiar and 'normal', except that it had twice as much power as the S320 had. A very nice car, at half the price...and half the MPGs.

Her reaction? Same as mine. The Jaguar is just a much better direction to go; the cost is minimal. Maintenance will be less (for a while).

So we agreed on the Jaguar. We put some money down to hold it (it would otherwise sell over this coming weekend, doubtlessly). I'll process the financing/settlement/payments. The Jaguar is a good deal; blue book is at least $5,000 higher than we're paying for this car.

We're pretty pleased.
