    I like stories of people throwing money away on cars (not as much as I do, but still...)

    Read this little passage in an article today, very amusing and apt:

    The stereotype for Jaguar XJ owners is of people that want everyone to think they have both money and taste. Or for gentlemen with a habit of forgetting their wallet. The way to show that you were genuine money and not a market trader dealing in goods of a questionable origin was to buy a Jaguar XJ with a Daimler badge.

    I have to say that the XJ5.3L is a beautifully resolved design.
