12400 miles

It has been a long time since I last posted. I have been too busy with my baby boy, Ian. For obvious reason, the Jag has to take on its own back seat.

The car is now approaching the all important 12500 miles mark, where the "adjustments" period will expire. Therefore, it means that my wheel alignment and the tire balance issue will no longer be covered. I have totally given up on the local Jaguar dealership, Byers Imports. Under any circumstances, I will not buy another vehicle from them. In fact, I have talked to enough people that I am sure the dealership has lost a few sales.

The car still has a slight steering wheel vibration. It doesn't really bother me much anymore but it is not perfect. I have kind of grown accustomed to it for the time being. It will definitely require a tire balance and a wheel alignment soon. I shall have that taken care of soon. Other than that, the car has been running fine. Though, with premium gas hitting $3.19 in central Ohio due to Hurrican Katrina, a better mileage will be of much help. Just 2 days ago, I had my first $50 fill up at the station. It sure was painful...
