Not necessarily a maintenance nightmare. There are some that consider these and other like those to be "project cars" and enjoy working on them AND having the time for that.

I love the Jaguar, hope she enjoys it!

@EastCoastGal Thank you so much! It has been gratifying to fight back. The entire thing was awful. I took FMLA to care from mom, then lost my job. It stunned me that this happened. We shall see, it is difficult to win an employment case. I have a good attorney though but there is never a guarantee.

 Two words: 23-year-old-Jaguar...

That's FOUR words!!! 

One the other hand, a 23 year old Jaguar is going to be a maintenance nightmnare, so you KNOW she must have the money to maintain it!!!

My sister had a brand new Jaguar and it was a maintenance nightmare from the beginning. She still has it.

It IS a looker though!

I get mad just reading the posts about how Dan should "just get over it.". I gave my heart and soul to a nursing job that I loved for 38 years. When my mother was dying, and died, and I got back from the FMLA leave, I as discharged. 

I had just lost my mother and I was a 61 year old nurse. I can tell you, it is not easy to just "pick up, get over it, and get another job.". Try it if you think it is easy. 

I lost my seniority, my health insurance, my income, my other benefits. I had to liquidate retirement savings. Never mind the emotional toll losing a job of that long takes on a person. I had high anxiety, I thought I would be in trouble if the least little thing went wrong at work, I felt worthless, useless, not valued.

Thank God a company did take me in and I still work there but for a fraction of what I used to make. 

I do not know Dan's money circumstances but regardless, losing a job like he did affects the mind and soul. Shame on people for minimizing the effects of losing a job on a person. I was scared to death, I had not applied for a job in over 38 years.

My mother just died and the entire thing sunk me into a depression. 

Please be understanding and kind to people in this situation. We do not understand how they feel.

I am now 4 years past this experience, I am on Medicare now, so that was a relief. I am just starting to feel better after much turmoil, self-doubt, extreme pain and counseling. 

I will most likely work longer because I have to try and recoup money that I lost. I am not married, so it is only me. Very, very scary situation. There were times that I thought that I would die.

I feel sorry for all that lost their jobs here on QVC and anywhere else. It is easy for the young to bounce back but not the middle to senior age people.
