Ford actually sold Jaguar to an Indian auto manufacturer, tata motors in 2008. The sane company makes land and range rovers. They Definitely went down hill when ford took over and it doesn't seem much as changed since the sale.
I acually got it from and range rover dealership and its sad to say but i had to contact jaguar usa because the dealership was telling me my car was fine when it would just stall while i was driving, after 3 times to the shop and contacting jaguar usa, i told them i my cars not fixed i dont want it back i dont care what their computer tells me. 2 fuel injecters nd hundreds of dollars later i get a letter in the mail last week saying theres a recall on their fx models diagnostics fault computer system, count to think of it thats prob the reason why they couldnt help fix my cars problems in the first place
 
Year round daily driver. You'd be surprised how well it handles in the snow if you have snow/ice tires on it. :)

(you may recognize it from my avatar....lol)

It's a shame man. They are pretty good looking cars and used to be very well made. I will tell you electrical issues can be some of the hardest to figure out and fix especially when it's an intermittent problem. Good luck with it!

This actually isn't true. Quality went up when Ford took over. In fact, Jaguar enthusiasts, who were used to a plethora of problems with Jaguar, complained that those problems were no longer present after Ford took over and had some time to address systemic production and quality issues with Jaguar. Jaguar now is comparable to most other cars in initial and long term reliability (JD Powers, Consumer Reports, etc). It isn't the best, but it certainly isn't the worst. Jaguar also comes with a 5 year 50k mile warranty. I am recently familiar with Jaguar as I have been looking at XJLs and will probably get one this year.

Another expensive hobby
Not a big mustang fan but I do really like the 1999-2004 Cobras and roush models. I actually worked making connecting rods (H beams) for the svt models at Manley performance.
 
I grew up on a farm with all fords old classics and trucks. But for a roush yes only that model as it has the side exhaust. The new ones to me don't look much different than the GT's but roush and svt are great track cars. Of course I am bias being a ford guy.
 
Lol! That's sad and would drive me crazy!

Nah, people sitting in traffic is sad. My six minutes in the subway is uncomfortable but quick. Also don't need to look for or pay for parking.

The said, I've been trying to talk my girlfriend into letting me pull the trigger on a Jaguar XF Sport.

Gotcha! I can understand if you live in the city that the subway is the way to go. I don't like being stuck in traffic either. I do however love to drive and have to get behind the wheel as much as I can! :)
 
I don't have any pictures, but I drive a 2008 Dodge Caliber- the car the kids make a mess in, and a 2003 Mustang GT- my first car, and my work truck is a 93 Ford Ranger. The Dodge Caliber is about to get passed down to my 17 year old step son, so I'll be picking up a new hatchback or wagon soon, haven't decided what I want yet. Probably a gently used VW, despite their current problem.

Nice, blazer and bikes and sweet charger! I wish I had all of the cars my parents went through as I was growing up! 2 Chargers, Roadrunner, 2 Dodge Coronet Convertibles and others. The Mopars all had 440 magnum engines and glass pack mufflers, love the rumble. I don't remember what was in the RR. My dad couldn't stick with anything, he was always trading!
