More on cars

Have gotten a third Jaguar, a 1991 XJS. Pretty color, "oyster", which is a metallic pale gold. Bought it locally, for $3k. Needs about $10k of work, a little of which I can do (easy stuff), and some that LA will do, a little that Rosenthal will do, and some that likely won't even get done.

It's a convertible, which wasn't my actual plan...need something fun to drive to work as I don't like driving the elephant all that much--partly because seeing out the windows is hard, unlike the truck, which had plenty of visibility. This is better visibility than the XK8, as the bar at the top of the windshield is higher, so it doesn't interfere. Otherwise, it's not as good a car.
