That was brave to admit to owning a Volvo. Difficult to see how you could forget that.

It just keeps getting better!

 

Wow Punkin!!! I'm buying a Dodge truck after reading your post, and you live in Jersey, not the friendliest of driving conditions/weather.

 

The fuel,
I have had very good luck with Dodge trucks. I buy them new, drive them for work (90% highway) and change the oil every 3K miles. Knock on wood, I have not had ANY major issues with any of them. My brother is still driving the Dakota (now in Indiana) and he reports to me every once in a while that it is still going strong. I'm about to retire the Ram (Suzie is her name) to the driveway and have been looking at the Magnum as a daily driver (that is until I saw pictures of the Firepower). Until I decide what to replace it with, I'll keep driving it. Oh, I must tell you I take it to the dealer every 100k and have them go over it bumper to bumper and replace anything that needs it. I figure the $2000.00 or so replacement of belts, adjustments, etc. is well worth the piece of mind and reliable service.

 

That's incredible, nice ot hear someone taking that good of care of their vehicles. I usually never hold on to things long enough to get the mileage up that high. Which would also explain why i'm a single man ; )

 

From the begin up to now:

01. Trabant 601 (east German car made of plastic, very cool)
02. VW Golf MKII
03. VW Golf GTI MkII
04. VW Jetta A3 GT
05. VW Jetta A3 TDI
06. Mecedes Benz E-Class (see picture, that was my little baby before I got the Crossfire)
07. VW Passat 3B TDI 4-motion (still driving for work)
08. Chrysler Crossfire (best car I have ever had)

 

I had a 2002 BMW 325ci and a 2003 Jaguar x-type.

I have had my Xfire convt for almost 6mths, and still have the Jag

 

What do you like better the jag or XF? I always thought I would rather be stuck with a 3.0 X-type with a stick.

 

really?? http://www.car-stats.com/stats/shows...tsgivenid.aspx , and i don't think i need to post handeling numbers..... cmon bullseye, its an overpriced ford mondego with awd.

 

I have to agree with X'ed.....the x-type isnt all its cracked up to be. Plus I have a passion for sports cars.

 

They both are capable of high 14's though, and I wouldnt had to dump 1200 bux into my wheel/tire package. And that "mondeo" has an aftermarket. Plus I would be more comfortable in it, I have driven one, when my Sister was looking at them. Was a very nice car. And I dont SCCA race so i could care less about lil' differences in handling.

 

That jaguar X-type is based off the SVT Contour platform as well (which I had). It was a very capable car and handled excellent. Aftermarket is good for these cars as bullsye pointed out.
