Said goodbye to the Z today

Pushing_Tin · 11-13-2010, 10:44 PM

BTW, I am getting better mileage in this tank than the Z was getting.

I really wish that holden ute had come across the pond. Their intention was to ship it as a pontiac before the economy tanked. If their plan had gone through, I may have picked one of them up instead of the Z.

Thanks Dan, I had never considered owning one before, but I always thought they were kind of neat. This one happened to be on the lot when my wife and I were doing some drive bys looking for anything of interest. It's really nice inside with all the amenities you'd expect for a $60k car. The nav is pretty dated but everything works fine. I got it and then came to work yesterday and I haven't had any time to clean her up, but if the weather allows I'll snap a few more pics tomorrow.

I agree. Sick move financially. Automotively, I liked your Z better.

Pushing_Tin · 11-14-2010, 07:54 PM

Okay here are a few more pics. I haven't done anything with the car, so it will be prettier in the near future. I did notice a whine from the rear diff, going to have the diff oil changed and see if that helps.

Well it's a whole different vibe than the Z was. The Z was rabid, taught and high strung. The Jag is large, quiet and mellow. The whine of the supercharger under heavy acceleration is pretty cool though.

Looks nice, dude.

I like it!

You made a wise financial decision, and you got a VERY nice ride to boot. I don't see anything to regret here. Enjoy!
