I was out last week at a bar with some buddies. A guy in the parking lot started asking me about my XF. I was practically foaming at the mouth about it -- having my usual episode. The guy says, "how about I trade it with my Honda Ridgeline and my Harley?" I started laughing and he wasn't. Then, I realized he wasn't kidding and I stopped laughing and said, buddy, you can go get one for $21k!!! He nearly croaked on the spot. It was fun and shows how little people know the bargain that we know and how cool of a car it is.
