Granted, I'ld be less happy with a Mustang or Corvette but there's going to be a lasting comradery as there's a larger pool of members in those groups.

Maybe I'm being a big sap here. Owning a rare SRT is cool but I'm looking for more than that.
Thx for allowing me to vent a little and I mean no disrespect to the current XF owners in Houston.
I think that as a whole the demographics of the owners has changed. They have dropped in price and they have fallen into the price range of younger people. That's not bad and they have a life, maybe I should leave it there. LOL

They have other things to do and going to see a group of older people with the same car is not in their plans, maybe once or twice. I cannot say I blame them, I was the same at their age as I recall with some difficulty. I have nothing in common with them either so it does cut both ways.

Beaner is the youngest in SOCO and he is getting a bit long in the teeth now.
