Well. I finally did it, but now I feel absolutely terrible. I made the mistake yesterday by stopping by a local Jaguar dealer to test drive the V8 F-Type.
The car's performance and styling blew me away and I subsequently traded in my beloved Evora. I typically use a car for a year or two, get bored with it, and trade up for another.
Yesterday was different though. I am normally excited when I get a new vehicle, but while driving the car home last night I felt my stomach tighten.
I questioned myself as to whether I did the right thing. This morning when I pulled out of the garage I felt even worse. Don't get me wrong, I love the growl, tech, plushness, performance etc., but something was missing. What was missing was that visceral feeling of driving a Lotus. I spent close to double on the Jag as I did on the Evora and yet I feel cheated.
