Replying to: dewey (Oct 06, 2008 2:33 pm) At least on the few stocks I own that pay dividends, the yields are looking great! There, the piggy bank is half full! Of course it used to be 4/5ths full...    I'm thinking of buying (do not tell the EW!) a few companies in a few weeks. Sell in May and stay away, but I believe late October, historically if one is trying to buy low, is the time to buy? Bill Miller, Will Danoff, Ken Heebner et al, I'm hangin' with ya! |

Dewey, glad to see you back. Dollar's been gaining LG, if the prices really hold up, then the A4 really goes bye-bye. On the other hand, hello 2006 E-class and 750i Sorry S-class, but E-class still look kinda fresh while you look, well, old. Has anyone else felt the same? I walked past a previous gen S-class last in front of a restaurant, I imagined being in one and suddenly I felt.... old..... oddly enough I felt much younger when I imagined driving an XJ... all this despite my previous rambling about S-class

Replying to: m4d_cow (Oct 06, 2008 9:22 pm)  I had the touchscreen navigation going and the Bluetooth phone connection, and everything just performed wonderfully. I was so comfortable after a long drive, I never felt stiff. The seats in the car are spectacular. I really connected to the Jag again. Think I might keep it for a while longer. I got a great deal on it originally, and it's still under warranty. When I bought it almost three years ago, I received a warranty for 7 years/85,000 miles. I'd have to check, but I think it now has only 12K miles on it. It still looks absolutely brand new like a showroom car. To some the XJ is old, but to me it's more like a classic.  I really think it would be damned foolish to get rid of it. I got around 23 mpg on this last trip. Not my best, but still very good, IMO, for such a huge vehicle. And the Jag's 300 horses and pounds of torque felt more like 400. Ahh, the wonders of an aluminum car! And... somehow I felt plenty young driving the long sleek Jag.   TM |

Argh, some parts are missing from my post Dollar's been gaining a little, but I still have doubts if it'll hold long enough. TM, I agree. Even though the Jag's styling looks older, being in an S-class feels like I'll feel much older. Maybe its the Jag's sleek, slim look. The S otoh, looks stodgy, stiff and aged. The last pic is perfect!!! 5-spoke non chrome, no leaper, minimal chrome lines. Tag, what XJ trim is that?
