Jaguar - Another Iconic Brand Consigned to the Dustheap of Woke Fuckups

The day I have to introduce my F150 to a mechanic is the day I trade it in...,

on an F150. NOT A DODGE RAM!!! Might as well ask me to root for Satan's Team.

BB? Of course. LOL

‘Bud Light 2.0:’ Jaguar Blasted for Ad Featuring Crossdressers but Not Cars​

Jaguar is being blasted on social media for its ultra-woke commercial featuring androgynous models and not even a single car, with conservatives dubbing the ad “Bud Light 2.0.” The Jaguar commercial, which was posted to the car company’s social media on Tuesday, showed only androgynous individuals clad in bizarre attire that would hardly fit in at a fashion show. The advertisement also failed to showcase even one single vehicle from the luxury car company.

Of course....bud lite/light (?)

Need to include them for their transgressions

If you can't take up four spaces when you park, is it even worth owning?

My only question is how many flags you have on the back.

Bristols were for the folk who were too posh for a Rolls. Didn't they used to vet any prospective purchasers to see if they met the required standard? No Kensington shopkeepers allowed (as in, Harrods).

We used to have a Mark VII when we were kids, then my mum bought a new XJ6 in 2006, it rusted away and went to the scrapyard in 2019.

That new logo looks like it's for a Swedish laminate flooring company, but Jags are for old duffers wearing flat caps but I suppose they need to appeal to the sports star/drug dealer/social influencer market nowadays.

What the heck was a Bristol? And really? They vetted customers? That's hilarious. Reminds me of that scene from Crazy Rich Asians where they buy the hotel.....

Okay, I found out - and they're coming back in 2026.....

The marketing guy for Jaguar used to be marketing VP for Bud Lite. Go figure.....

All modern cars look alike, half-sucked throat lozenges...

Yah...marketers having careers in different marketing positions ...so obvious

My suggestion, for those of you out there who like classic Brit cars but don't know much about them, is to buy an early to mid-70's XJ6, or XJS if you like the sound of 12 cylinders, and learn how to maintain it.


Fair warning, they rust and leak more water than a pasta strainer.

LOL. I plan on an F150 next, after I trade in my trusty little Corolla. Great for winter and for surviving collisions in the Walmart parking lot.

They're trying to reinvent themselves as better than a RR. They'll fail. Again.

Buy a classic truck instead.

Make sure it's oversized.

If it's not ten times bigger than your neighbor's truck...why are you even trying?

I'll have to look into this. I was writing a Rolls Royce into a story I was writing, now I have to read up on Bristols and see if I should substitute.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yep. I spent a while looking for old MkII's last night and found a few - the unrestored ones can be quite cheap but basically you have to strip them right down and rebuild them. And have a truck and trailer to go pick them up with. Go figure. LOL. But yeah, having an old one in mint restored condition to drive to Church or do the mommy run in would be so cool.

I think himself would kinda look at me and shake his head and say "go get the F150, Chloe...." but dreams....dreams....lol

And tools, and friends, and a machine shop, and parts suppliers, and a place to do all of this fun shit. It's a labor of love, but it's also an investment.

 

[AceDesSpades]

F150 and I park way out in the lot and still, I do not know why, you could be the only truck there and some idiot in half a car will park so close to you that you are just compelled to ding their door for them when you climb in the cab...

 

[ChloeTzang]

Exactly. 4 door crew cab with 4x4 and the long box thing so you can take out pedestrians and stick long things in that stick out the back.....

Perfect for the weekly shopping run too

Yes!!!!!!!

I want a Bentley Arnage so bad I'm willing to sell Wat's farm to get one. However, if I have to settle, then I'll opt for a 2010-2011 Ghost or 2004-2006 Phantom.

You're starting to persuade me it could be fun. We have friends....of course whether they would still be friends.....lol

Ewe, girl sheeps, ewe. NO THANK YOU.

It's RedWhite&Blue

 

[HisArpy]

This is what you really want. Admit it.

Shouldn't Chloe be extolling the virtues of FAW??

Fuck, now they're taking our cars, too.

I think you need an 8 door dorm cab with 10x10 .

Perfect for hauling cattle

It's Boy Shit - not Lit Libturd pansy pussified shit. You know, like shootin'. Guys, steel, grime, a bit of grease and some oil, some smells, and some old school blood if you ding your knuckles. There's wrenching and welding and painting and sewing and working with steel and glass and rubber bits, sanding and prepping and tuning and learning and meeting new people who can help and a few who just get in the way. I think you'd like it. Go meet some car folks first and hang out and have a beer and toalk about Stuff. Gizmo Stuff. It's about the Gizmoness.
