13247. thoughtful - 1/13/2005 11:07:13 PM I'm still so pissed about the jaguars. Hubby always wanted one and we talked about wouldn't it be nice to take a jag body and stick it on a toyota frame and engine so the thing would actually run?
Tell me that's not a work of art.
 13248. Jenerator - 1/13/2005 11:41:12 PM I have always loved vintage Jaguars - 1966 and 1967 especially.
1966 E Coupe
And the 1967 MK II 340
Definitely works of art.
13249. wonkers2 - 1/13/2005 11:42:13 PM Let's hope Ford doesn't do the same thing to Volvo.
Thoughtless, GM announced last week that Saturn is being merged with Opel. There will be only one engineering and design department. The only thing remaining of Saturn, eventually, will be women-friendly sales and service and the cooperative, consultative labor-management relations at the original Saturn plant in Kentucky. 13250. PelleNilsson - 1/13/2005 11:50:23 PM Judith actually owns a Jaguar. Let's hear her views on the maintenance costs.
GM doesn't mess with Volvo. It's one of the moat profitable brands, if not the most priftable. 13251. wonkers2 - 1/13/2005 11:53:03 PM Ford owns Volvo, not GM. GM owns Saab. 13252. thoughtful - 1/13/2005 11:54:53 PM The old line was always jag owners needed 2 so you could still drive one while the other was in the shop. 13253. thoughtful - 1/13/2005 11:57:18 PM wonk, i appreciate the information...i had not heard about saturn.
i did not appreciate the epithet. I'm used to it from concerned, but I hardly think it was warranted here, and very surprised it was from you. 13254. Marc-Albert - 1/14/2005 12:03:27 AM The Montreal 125,000 Jews' love affair with the Jaguar has irretrievably compromised the standing of that vehicle with our city's gentiles who have the means to buy one.
When you drive around Town of Mount Royal, you can actually determine who's Jewish (or Lebanese) by checking the presence of jags in the driveway. 13255. judithathome - 1/14/2005 12:12:11 AM My ratio in owning a Jag and having it repaired is that you need the cosat of the car in reserve to repair it. 13256. wonkers2 - 1/14/2005 12:15:59 AM Epithet? What epithet? I don't recall directing an epithet to thoughtful. Please direct me to the post. 13257. judithathome - 1/14/2005 12:38:59 AM Message # 13249 13258. wonkers2 - 1/14/2005 12:40:45 AM ??? "women-friendly" sales and service is an epithet??? 13259. Dubai Vol - 1/14/2005 12:42:17 AM WHy do the English drink warm beer?
Lucas refrigerators.
Why don't the English build computers?
They can't figure out a way to make them leak oil!
13260. judithathome - 1/14/2005 1:05:04 AM Wonkers, you addressed her as Thoughtless...I'm speaking out of turn here but that struck me as somewhat uncalled for. 13261. wonkers2 - 1/14/2005 1:10:53 AM Thank you judith. Mea culpa! That was thoughtless but completely unintentional. I am one of thoughtful's longtime admirers. Abject apologies to thoughtFUL! 13262. Max Macks - 1/14/2005 2:45:46 AM I read some where than after Ford bought Jaguar co.
those cars had less mechanical problems.
But I read something some what recently tht
Ford was now dumping Jaguar.
Does that mean the end of Jaguar autos? 13263. arkymalarky - 1/14/2005 2:48:15 AM Bob loves Folgers Coffee Singles. You brew it like tea. I still use a coffee maker or percolate mine when I drink it. I like it pretty strong and I'm not particular about the taste. I bought some Cafe DuMonde and it was good. Tried another New Orleans coffee (both were cheaper than the others) and it was crap. 13264. judithathome - 1/14/2005 3:38:10 AM Cafe DuMonde
Does it have chicory in it? I love that New Orleans stuff with chicory...like it best IN New Orleans. ;-) 13265. Wombat - 1/14/2005 3:46:56 AM Cafe du Monde...yummmm. Beignets...double yummmm. 13266. arkymalarky - 1/14/2005 5:12:39 AM Yep. The other had chickory in it too, but it didn't help the taste.
