Almost saw someone crash

What have you been driving, George, Jaguars?

Actually, I drive a 1989 Nissan pickup with ~160,000 miles on the clock. But I'm
married, I'm not young, and I don't commute to a professional job anymore.

I get rid of a car at ~100,00 miles .

My last position was 29 miles from home. Add it up. That, plus the odd trip to Home
Depot and Shop Rite, racks up about 100,000 miles about the time the usual five year
loan runs out.

Jaguars have improved since Ford has had them (the British Leyland
product was appalling, they rusted out in no time). I still wouldn't
have a Jag. However, the old 4.2 litre straight six engines make
fabulous glider winch engines. Although the rest of the car was abysmal,
the engine is worth having.
