I always punch it off every stop if my mom sends me to do something in her pt cruiser turbo. Was doing 85ish on a backroads and thought I was going 35-40

My dad's 5speed ford focus is fast comparably, I think it's also the fact I miss owning a clutch pedal.

YKYDAXJW your watching the scene in gone in 60 seconds where nick cage is being chased by two xj police vehicles and one gets hit by a wrecking ball and goes through a wall and it shows you how bad *** xjs are because the cop comes out completely unharmed

YKYDAXJW you wake up and check CF on your phone, go to school/ work and check CF on your phone, and get done with 1/4 of your day to realize you have 30% battery remaining on your phone

1st time I got back into the XJ after driving a 5sp Swift for 2 months had it just under 100mph before I realised how fast I was going. Have to really push the Swift to hit 60

Usually I tend to do it on nice smooth flat roads. And try to avoid doing it in an XJ. Am interested in finding out its top speed though.
