I'd like to dispose of the Jaguar. At some point that desire needs to exceed my resistance to making the effort to do what needs to be done to make that happen.

I’m sure someone will want it, when you’re ready to divest. Or we could start our own festival of dad cars—starting with yours and TD’s. I still regret giving my dad’s (formerly our) 2003 325xIT to my in-laws. They dumped it within a year or two and bought something inferior with the equity.

I really like that one, too.

They're a charcoal like color. Very close to black, but not quite.

I am drafting my story, but you all realize that this has been something of an odyssey for me, right? It wasn't just the hunt, but the actual landing and getting it home turned into their own complete stories. I need to capture everything. When I post, it will be longer than anyone will want to read, but I will include a TL;DR version outline.
