These are keepers and I don't think my (any) kids' day-to-day judgement is good enough. I still park 100s of feet away from other cars when I go to a store to keep the door-dingers away. Kids ain't that careful. I can't bear the thought of a dimple on the beautiful sheetmetal side of my car.

I was 53 when I picked up the Roadster new - I could finally afford a really nice car after saving for college for three kids. So before any of you youngsters mouth off, my priorities were my kids' college funds first and my fun second. So I think I earned the right to be selfish about who drives my cars.
Pretty soon you might need 2 or 3 more Crossfires. They do have a tendency to multiply. Which of the three kids will get an XF first. Prom will be coming up for the 17 yo. The 15 yo is just waiting for the others to go to college and then will make their move on the roadster.

Sorry, I just could't resist. Congrats on your choice of cars.

PS My daughter is always one of the first to get to school and parks in a spot at a slight angle where only one car can park next to her and is very protective and consciencious about where and who parks next to her. Have them help clean and wash the XF's with you to see which one or ones appreciate them.
