Ogre's Politics & Views: Jaguar

Friday, Dec 9, 2005

I'm sure Machelle knows all about this, but today is the first time I heard this quote:

"The car is the closest thing we will ever create to something that is alive."

That was said by Sir William Lyons, founder of Jaguar Cars. That statement says so much more than his philosophy on automobiles.

My grandfather drove a Jaguar, and I've always thought that they were the most beautiful of all cars. I've wanted to lease one, but the monthly payment is close to $400. I'd be giving up on a lot of beer. I just can't bring myself to do it.

I've never driven one. I might buy someone a 6-pack if they'd let me drive one for a little while... :)

I suppose that would explain why some people name their cars, unlike a toaster for example.

Ogre said ( 7:08 AM Saturday, Dec 10 , 2005) :

You don't name your toaster? What's wrong with you? Mine is named Phil.

Phil the toaster.

Next thing you'll tell me is that people don't name their garage door, either!

My garage door is named "Schleppy".

Why do I get the feeling he earned that name? ;)
