Rebagliati traded in his wife's Jaguar XJS convertible for the 928 last year. “The Jag wasn't very practical.

Heh-heh.

People knock the 928 for maintenance/reliability issues. Jaguar makes the 928 seem like a Camry in comparison.

Fair enough, but picking a 928 as a 'practical' alternative is something I haven't heard before.

"For example, my 928 was $100,000 brand new in 1981 and the value I traded it in for was less than $10,000. This car is never going to be worth less than that unless I smash it."

Nothing like that will ever happen here in the USA.

Just looked at the pic of this car... man that is some horrendous rocker extensions on that car!

He just released a book, so that explains why he's been all over the media recently.

A pot-smoking (no really, I was just in the same rooms as some friends - It was second hand smoke), snowboarding NDP candidate in BC. I don't see how he can lose.
