Joined 3 years ago, finally an owner

Good morning or evening or whatever depending on where you guys are. I just wanted to check in and say hey. My Ceramic Silver over Red GT2 AWD got delivered this weekend, it had to come up from Florida because this color combo is tough to come by apparently, but I am glad it finally arrived!

I had been waiting and waiting and WAITING for the Stinger to go on sale in the US a few years ago, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I pulled the trigger on a CPO XJ just a few months before they finally dropped for sale. No regrets on that, and I love the XJ so much, we decided that would become the GFs car (quite a step up from her old Fusion), and I would get something new. Long story short, lots of test drives, and a TON of sweat cleaning out the garage to fit in 2 cars, we now have a pretty nice pair of vehicles to choose from.



Cant wait to spend more time on here with you guys and getting to know the car better. Rear side marker delete is already on its way! =)

Take care and talk to you guys soon.

Well welcome aboard, officially! And congratulations on your Stinger GT!

Welcome to the hive! You have WAY more patience than I do. Lol

 

[Casey]

Haha, it wasnt patience, i can assure you of that. I wanted to get rid of my CLS so bad, I kept hounding the local Kia dealers and wasnt getting any solid info, and then the XJ just stumbled into my path, and that was love at first drive. The Stinger kinda fell off my radar for a while and just resurfaced, and Im glad it did!

Congrats! You got my dream Stinger, though I've really grown on the white/red combo GT2 I ,"ended up," with.

If your first 1400 miles are anything like mine, you're going to love the car!

That’s funny, I was going to respond with almost same reply. I waited a long time for them to find a GT1 in ceramic silver. No dice. They had a pearl white with red which I refused several times until they finally offered some rebates on it.
Now I am very happy my “pearl ride”

Congratulations and welcome!

Welcome! (said the newer guy to the older guy ) That's a fine looking garage interior. That is what two-car garages are for; not "storage units", heh.

Your two cars look very content side by side. The Jag is a gorgeous machine. At twice the cost. That should satisfy female vanity, or there is something wrong with the dimension of this world that you live in.

 

[Casey]

Thanks Merlin. Thats what we always say, garages are for cars, sheds are for storage! I didnt get a house with a "two car" garage to park one outside. Its ridiculous.

I loooooove the Jag. Its a gentleman's muscle car, and im glad my gf feels the same way about not wanting to get rid of it. Thankfully the first owner took the hit on cost and we get to reap the benefits.
