[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea but Jaguars are a bit too understated, except for the new F Type. I think they are still digging themselves out of the funk they were in back in the 90s.

A few more cars like the F Type and they should get back on track. [/quote]

The funk was caused by a reputation for frequent and expensive repairs. My generation (late boomers) stayed the heck away from them. [/quote]

My third grade teacher had a Jaguar, and she used to brag about it constantly--to her third grade students!

She also drank tea from a fancy tea set and used to wear really nice clothes, and really nice perfume. She was a good teacher and even at 8 years old, I admired her.

I don't know why, but that had a lasting effect on me. Grow up, be successful, drink tea, smell good, and drive a nice car = profit in life.

That's all I have to add really. [/quote]

Sounds like you picked a role model. She'd be pleased to know she had such an influence on you. [/quote]

Yes, I did pick a good role model. I guess my poorly articulated point was that she was doing good and positive things with her life, and I don't think you should assume that people are vapid and wasteful just because they drive a car you wouldn't necessarily buy. I see some people who are well put together and driving nice cars (doesn't even have to be a luxury car) and they can project class and fine taste. I don't find people who drive luxury cars or wear expensive clothes to be vulgar at all. [/quote]
