FirebaseD... brother...! i respect all opinions in this forum ...all but looking at your profession... you don't do anything but... ***** OUT!!! i AM Sure!!! i just made 8,000 miles yesterday... and no leaks... i am glad i am not the only lunatic... but it really seems that this car can't get enough... HDDP races tough courses and competition from what i gather... which gives me peace of mind knowing the xf can handle such loads and strains, ...engine wise... but he has a manual. everyday this XF gobbles up the pothole filled I87 passing yankee stadium... over the east river and unto the FDR... where the roads and highways seem like they are from a developing country or worse! THIS XF is being tested and it can't get enough... like you said... if there is enough road ahead!
