Car lifts are quite affordable now for sure, mechanics pit was the best option to service a 22,000 lb diesel pusher motorcoach. Anyhow test drove the xf today in the cold on thunder road in Augusta KS, which is about the nearest sorta twisty road and most of it off camber. Chassis is stiff and corners pretty flat which I liked. Power isn't a big thrill, but fun. (May I simply state that it's easier and more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow). Read the mods threads and there's a few ponies to be gained.. tweak the suspension, simplify and add lightness. Per Colin Chapman. Got my 4 lb/lhp bike with me on it bike for major adrenaline rushes/fix.
