Ya, at my g/f’s last night… her drive way is on a slant, i always set my e-brake when i park… well last night i go to leave and am like “wtf is my car?” i look and its accross the road, it hit a cement pillar, knockin it over. when i got in the car the ebrake was still on… pretty shit… so i will always leave it in gear now.
Ouch, I’ve always had that fear of my car rolling back into the middle of a street or another car or something
:tdown:
that car is a stick??
that sucks tyler. i always put the ebrake on first then put it in gear. sorry to hear about it though.
wierd right? you wouldn’t think 67 year old men would want a stick shift as an option.
No SPORT no CARE!
Sorry dude.
awww… :tdown:
get a wrx.
No e-brake usage pt.1 on SHO = $3300 front end damage + 1 f-ed up tree.
No e-brake usage pt.2 on SHO = 1 post office - 1 12’x6’ front window.
because i wantedd 2 pay a few more grand for a valence and shit… right?hahah
p.s jan… jags owns wrx’s hahahah along with m3’s
p.s.s it is a stick…yaya what 67 yr old man wants to drive stick, thats y jaguar stoped makin stick for 2006 models, looks like i wont buy another jag…
tyler, you’re missing the point. sell your car to your grandpa and get a wrx like jan said.
<3
Was about to say inb4rj92, but he beat me to it.
Sucks though, but it could have been worse.
ouch, thats hurts, sorry to hear
:tdown: Make Ford, I mean Jaguar pay for it since your e-brake is obviously the suck
im sorta sick of everyone saying its just a ford…well an audi is a vw…a cattilac is a chevy…a acura is a honda… a lexus is a toyota…jeez sorry off topic a bit but it gets annoying after a while
if it was an s type then i would say its definitely just a luxury ford but its an x type so i cant hate too much
Cadillac. And the X type is worlds more fun to drive than a Cater…err…a CTS.
That sucks man… I better keep mine in gear now too… usually it’s just the e-brake.
Um the X-Type is just a ford mondeo. How can you hate on the more expensive S-Type and not on the less expensive ford based X-Type. My dad has an S-Type by the way and its a huge peice of shit. He can’t wait to get rid of it. He has had X-Type loaners before and they suck almost as bad, but i guess its a little more tossable, but they still both suck. Just my opinion No more Jags in this family.
Well sort of, see Jaguar was its own company with no influence from Ford, then they got bought and their product has become less quality items, but I have a hatred towards jaguar to begin with. where as most of the other things you have described are parent companies that spawned a “better” more luxurious line up. Ie. Lexus, Infiniti, Audi
Um the Ford Mondeo is a fine car to base 3 other cars on.
We aren’t talking about an ES250 or a Cadillac Cimarron.
If Ford hadn’t purchased Jaguar, there would be no Jaguar today. And forget all the other crap they have done (introduced a V6 to replace the I6, for example), the XJ simply a work of art. In a class where BMW has to use electronic gizmos to get a car to move the way they want it to, Ford/Jaguar have made a car that is pretty pure. It’s enough for me to forgive them for giving us the rebadged stuff.
