Not a typical first trailer.

The mileage on my Infiniti was getting to a level which started excluding potential buyers when it came time to sell, so I figured I'd get rid of it now before it lost all residual value.

I originally bought the Infiniti M37 for its combo of lux and power, but as I wanted its replacement to both be just a little quicker and a little more lux, there are limited options out there without looking at the "cachet" brands, so....

My replacement, a Jaguar XF-S:
Attachment 79659

Where are you planning on parking that to "camp"?

[superflychief]

Hahaha I never said we were camping. Definitely glamping. We got a lot at pine lake.

Thanks all. I don't really mind the wheels, but the basic aluminum-painted colour isn't really ideal. I'm considering replacing and/or refinishing to a different colour - but if I were to replace I'd select the same size, and I really don't need a spare set of wheels since this will not be driven in the winter. So unlike for my Infiniti where I went up 2" and needed a winter set anyway, any replacement here would be solely for show, and I'm not sure I care enough to drop 2g if that is the only reason. We'll see though.

Totally different kind of car from my Infiniti. Even at WOT it's still very quiet and smooth with just a hint of supercharger whine. There is some feedback in the steering (there could be more), but overall the Jaguar is much plusher in both steering and suspension - yet ultimately on par or better in all performance respects. Power is available immediately, and throughout in the rpm range, whereas I had to wring out the Infiniti to get it into the 4-5k area if I wanted to feel it's maximum punch, and the transmission took a second or two to realize I was trying to punch it. So much more usable power, and this car does 0-60 in under 5 seconds (It is tuned) whereas the Infiniti was about 5.5-5.6. Strangely, the Jag FEELS way slower - likely in part due to the active suspension which keeps the front end from rising during acceleration. When traction control intervened in the Infiniti (which was rare since it is AWD) it really cut engine power to almost nothing. But in the Jaguar, even as a RWD, I can't get the tires to spin without completely overriding DSC but yet with it on it is far more subtle and doesn't feel like it is interfering almost at all with a fierce launch. The only thing better on the Infiniti is the interior, imo. The Jag interior is nice, but they did cut a few corners quality-wise, and the design language is far more angular and minimalist whereas my Infiniti is flowing, organic, and dare I say "beautiful".

But in short, I'm a happy camper. It's fast and comfortable - which is exactly what I wanted to replace the Infiniti. Now if only I could stop people from thinking I'm a high roller or vain just because I drive a "Jag".

Ordered a year ago, showed up finally on Tuesday... Looks way better than the digital studio renders I posted before.. I initially wanted a voodoo II, but the SSG has grown on me.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Fucking love the license plate.

Well, and the Viper, too.

[Kloubek]

Forget my Jaguar. Now THAT is a sexy car.

Very few vehicles that a ridiculous spoiler like that could look ok on. More pics? Straight on from the rear?

[blitz]

Almost as cool as the Viper, Voigtlander 180/4 APO-Lanthar in F mount.

Hnnnnnngh, I've wanted one of those for ages, despite not having a real use for it.

Not sure if this will work...
Maybe some facebook video savvy mod can fix it.

Not as cool as a Viper, but keeps thing colder? Missed out on the Kickstarter, so I bought one after. Havent treid it out, but its certainly big and heavy duty.

Supposedly holds ice 20%% longer than a Yeti, at a fraction of the price. (Estimated 8 days) This one was $330 Cdn compared to $599 for a Yeti. Also has lifetime warranty.

Silly question, why you need ice for 8 days in a Cooler?

[R-Audi]

Thats just a longevity test, but for example the last time I went camping was for 4 days and the ice in my crappy Coleman $50 cooler was water by the 3rd day. So that means warm beer and food. Nobody wants that.
