    aguar's sales have plummeted after the legendary British car
    marque's 'woke' rebrand left fans outraged.

    Sales of the luxury motoring manufacturer appear to be in
    freefall following its controversial move to scrap its
    iconic 'growler' big cat logo in November.

    The firm's rebrand saw it replace the well-known badge in
    favour of a geometric 'J' design - which lovers of the
    brand raged looked like the logo on a handbag clasp.

    Meanwhile, a glossy ad campaign accompanying the design
    overhaul, featuring androgynous-looking men and women
    in exuberant clothes, also came under fire.

    And as the firestorm surrounding the famed car maker's
    change continues to rage, sales at Jaguar Europe have
    plunged a staggering 97.5 per cent.

    . . .

    Shaguire became FAGguire ... and NOBODY WANTS IT.
    How incredibly tragic for the brand !

    Anyone with investments in the company should SUE.

    Woke=BROKE folks ... that's the truth of the matter.
    Fake-Blame what you want - this is how it is.

    At present I could buy ... but NEVER EVER will.
    Gimme a big American macho super-truck or similar
    instead. A V-10 Hemi and cowboy ads would be nice.

    Jaguar has become a "boutique car" at least here in the US.
    Like Range Rover, it's mostly a status symbol because it
    is highly unreliable, overly complex to repair and other
    than an ultra luxurious interior it does nothing well considering
    the cost.

    Since Jaguar decided to go woke with she men people are no
    longer considering it to be a status symbol and are moving
    on to other imports like BMW and Mercedes.

    Basically, the Budlight effect.

    I don't care if Nikola Tesla himself came back from the grave and
    recommended it, I have no need for a rolling sewing machine.
    HOWEVER, if I were to lose my mind and buy an EV, it would either be
    a Tesla S or a Lucid Grand Touring.

    Still, I prefer my 24 Mustang GT with a Whipple Stage 1 supercharger.
    It's a real driver's car instead of a silent, sewing machine on wheels.
    I prefer the roar of a good old American muscle. You sewing machine drivers will never understand.

    I like the Lucid but I learned long ago
    the importance of an established dealership
    network. At least Tesla has that and their
    roadside service network.

    True, us EV owners will never experiece
    the joy of getting your catalytic converter
    stolen or getting robbed at a gas station or
    depending on the pricing whims of Big Oil.

    Exactly !
    And that's the concept that sails right over the libby's heads.
    I don't dislike EV cars at all. To each her own but they are just not
    for me.
    What I do dislike is the government effectively forcing me into buying one
    as they push the green new scam on people.
    Same for stoves, washing machines, garden tools, etc.
    Let the market decide and it will sort itself out as things change.

    Regulation is fine.
    Over regulation or regulation gone wild (see California for that one), is bad for everyone.
    Everything in moderation.

    All those Trump businesses that went bankrupt were because he's a demented Homosexual Pedophile who wears a wig, makeup, a buttplug and a diaper.

    Exactly !
    And that's the concept that sails right over the libby's heads.
    I don't dislike EV cars at all. To each her own but they are just not
    for me.
    What I do dislike is the government effectively forcing me into buying
    one as they push the green new scam on people.

    aguar's sales have plummeted after the legendary British car
    marque's 'woke' rebrand left fans outraged.

    Sales of the luxury motoring manufacturer appear to be in
    freefall following its controversial move to scrap its
    iconic 'growler' big cat logo in November.

    The firm's rebrand saw it replace the well-known badge in
    favour of a geometric 'J' design - which lovers of the
    brand raged looked like the logo on a handbag clasp.

    Meanwhile, a glossy ad campaign accompanying the design
    overhaul, featuring androgynous-looking men and women
    in exuberant clothes, also came under fire.

    And as the firestorm surrounding the famed car maker's
    change continues to rage, sales at Jaguar Europe have
    plunged a staggering 97.5 per cent.

    True. But those whiners aren't concerned with facts.

    Regarding the Mustang GT: The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, an all-electric
    SUV, boasts a horsepower rating comparable to the gas-powered Mustang
    GT, with both offering around 480 horsepower. However, the Mach-E GT
    delivers significantly more torque, particularly instant torque, which contributes to its quicker acceleration from 0 to 60 mph. While the
    Mustang GT might have a slight edge in top speed and performance at
    higher speeds, the Mach-E GT excels in initial acceleration and
    responsiveness.

    So the "sewing machine" cars they whine about are in fact muscle cars
    that in the long run will be far cheaper to build, operate, and maintain.

    And slowing the introduction of cheaper, cleaner tech in the US has one
    primary result--it will make it easier for China to eat our lunch as
    they produce faster, cheaper cars and open up worldwide markets before
    us. I'd rather we made America the best.

    "pothole" doesn't have that car, but the fact he knows about it and is aspirational for it is more proof that "pothole" is male, albeit not the least bit masculine. No female is going to swoon over such a car.

    Well, Jags are not "ordinary guy" cars - they
    are for enthusiasts with BIG bank accounts.
    Maint/repair $$$ ... they don't care.

    If you're going to buy Brit steel ... get
    a Triumph motorcycle instead. ALMOST bought
    the one with the giant engine years back
    (surprisingly light-feeling, low CG) but
    the early models had a bearing problem.

    Ummm ... was there a reply here ? Can't find it.

    "Choice" is IMPORTANT to the whole 'free country' concept.
    Some will make good and informed choices, others bad choices,
    others will pick one side or another just by sheer accident.

    EVs have "promise" - but NOT TODAY. It's the damned batteries
    mostly. SOME new kinds of batteries are being developed, but
    they're not industrial scale and affordable yet. Five or ten
    years maybe.

    Recently saw a whole Tesla "charging park" installed near
    a local shopping mall - about 20 charge stations. Thing
    is, it's the ONLY one I've seen anywhere around. This is
    the OTHER indirect prob with the batteries - where to
    charge them. It's a LOT of energy really. 15 amps from
    your home socket AIN'T gonna cut it.

    Try :


    https://rvelectricity.substack.com/p/how-many-kwh-of-energy-are-in-a-gallon

    Gasoline has a LOT of energy.

    Note that all gasoline cars do NOT have to be

    aguar's sales have plummeted after the legendary British car >>>>>>>>> marque's 'woke' rebrand left fans outraged.

    Sales of the luxury motoring manufacturer appear to be in
    freefall following its controversial move to scrap its
    iconic 'growler' big cat logo in November.

    The firm's rebrand saw it replace the well-known badge in
    favour of a geometric 'J' design - which lovers of the
    brand raged looked like the logo on a handbag clasp.

    Meanwhile, a glossy ad campaign accompanying the design
    overhaul, featuring androgynous-looking men and women
    in exuberant clothes, also came under fire.

    And as the firestorm surrounding the famed car maker's
    change continues to rage, sales at Jaguar Europe have
    plunged a staggering 97.5 per cent.

    . . .

         Shaguire became FAGguire ... and NOBODY WANTS IT.
         How incredibly tragic for the brand !

         Anyone with investments in the company should SUE.

         Woke=BROKE folks ... that's the truth of the matter. >>>>>>>>>      Fake-Blame what you want - this is how it is.

         At present I could buy ... but NEVER EVER will.
         Gimme a big American macho super-truck or similar
         instead. A V-10 Hemi and cowboy ads would be nice.

    Jaguar has become a "boutique car" at least here in the US.
    Like Range Rover, it's mostly a status symbol because it
    is highly unreliable, overly complex to repair and other
    than an ultra luxurious interior it does nothing well considering >>>>>>>> the cost.

    Since Jaguar decided to go woke with she men people are no
    longer considering it to be a status symbol and are moving
    on to other imports like BMW and Mercedes.

    Basically, the Budlight effect.



          Have you bought your Tesla yet?

          Trump recommends it, in fact he even
    starred in a Tesla commercial.

    I don't care if Nikola Tesla himself came back from the grave and
    recommended it, I have no need for a rolling sewing machine.
    HOWEVER, if I were to lose my mind and buy an EV, it would either be >>>>>> a Tesla S or a Lucid Grand Touring.

    Still, I prefer my 24 Mustang GT with a Whipple Stage 1 supercharger. >>>>>> It's a real driver's car instead of a silent, sewing machine on

    I prefer the roar of a good old American muscle. You sewing machine >>>>>> drivers
    will never understand.

    That's the beautiful thing about our country.  You can still make
    choices about what you want.

    True. But those whiners aren't concerned with facts.

    Not whining at all.
    Stating facts.


    Regarding the Mustang GT: The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, an all-electric
    SUV, boasts a horsepower rating comparable to the gas-powered Mustang
    GT, with both offering around 480 horsepower. However, the Mach-E GT
    delivers significantly more torque, particularly instant torque, which >>>> contributes to its quicker acceleration from 0 to 60 mph.

    Many EV can do that.
    But where's the fun?
    The sound, the vibration, etc.
    Besides my GT has a Whipple on it.
    A completely different game altogether albeit an extra $10k.


    While the
    Mustang GT might have a slight edge in top speed and performance at
    higher speeds, the Mach-E GT excels in initial acceleration and
    responsiveness.


    So the "sewing machine" cars they whine about are in fact muscle cars
    that in the long run will be far cheaper to build, operate, and
    maintain.

    In the future maybe.
    Currently?
    Nope.
    Even with normal DD they wear tires like crazy.
    Cost a fortune to repair even minor damage and finding a qualified
    body shop or
    dealer to repair it is difficult.
    Insurance is also high and BTW if you happen to be renewing your home
    owner's
    insurance one of the first questions you will be asked is if you own
    an EV and
    park it in an attached garage or near one.


    And slowing the introduction of cheaper, cleaner tech in the US has one >>>> primary result--it will make it easier for China to eat our lunch as
    they produce faster, cheaper cars and open up worldwide markets before >>>> us. I'd rather we made America the best.

    Same.
    No matter the product be it car, TV etc.



    Ummm ... was there a reply here ? Can't find it.

    "Choice" is IMPORTANT to the whole 'free country' concept.
    Some will make good and informed choices, others bad choices,
    others will pick one side or another just by sheer accident.

    EVs have "promise" - but NOT TODAY. It's the damned batteries
    mostly. SOME new kinds of batteries are being developed, but
    they're not industrial scale and affordable yet. Five or ten
    years maybe.

    Recently saw a whole Tesla "charging park" installed near
    a local shopping mall - about 20 charge stations. Thing
    is, it's the ONLY one I've seen anywhere around. This is
    the OTHER indirect prob with the batteries - where to
    charge them. It's a LOT of energy really. 15 amps from
    your home socket AIN'T gonna cut it.

    Try :


    https://rvelectricity.substack.com/p/how-many-kwh-of-energy-are-in-a-gallon

    Gasoline has a LOT of energy.

    Note that all gasoline cars do NOT have to be
    V-10 hemi's attached to huge trucks. Relatively
    low-performance minis will get it done just
    fine for 95% of the pop. However they DO need
    to get from Miami to NYC without a bunch of
    three-hour recharge stops.

    In any case, BOTH fuel methods are (or will be)
    viable. Ignore AlGore - he's selling you something.


    The EV also have difficulties in cold and hot weather.
    And then there is the time wasted charging when away from home.
    It takes me about 5 minutes to fill my Mustang tank. How
    long does it take to charge an EV even if topping off?

    So maybe a decent grocery getter but horrible for longer trips.

    "TDS" doesn't mean what you claim (lie) it means. It is the mental illness that afflicts Trumpswabs, not Trump opponents. It is the derangement experienced by Trumpswabs in order not to see, or to ignore, all the vile and criminal things about Trump. That is what it is.

    trump is on epsteins list and mentioned dozens of times in his papers. Proof that trump is not only a convicted rapist and felon, but a peophile.


    Right wing pedophilia is a massive hidden problem that Trump still ignores.

    President Trump signed an executive order Monday
    directing the Treasury Department to pull the plug
    on regulatory and other guidance projects relating
    to clean energy tax credit provisions under the
    Inflation Reduction Act that were revised by the
    One Big Beautiful Bill (P.L. 119-21)

    Trump knows that clean energy is a great leftist lie and burning the
    bodies of rightists is the one true way to produce energy.

    We could get ICE to nab them off the street!




    The world is suffering from the creatures of fantasy and nightmares which
    can appear with just a few minutes of warning anywhere, regardless of it
    being the middle of the street or on top of your bed while you are asleep.
    It can be a single one, or millions that swarm the area. The world's infrastructure has been degrading, food and supplies are harder and harder
    to come by. While firearms work well against these creatures the bodies
    left behind attract and breed both insects and disease. It is not feasible
    to hold on to area's with low populations as a sudden appearance of many nightmares can wipe them out.

    As fuel becomes harder to come by civilians turn to the only resource they
    have in abundance: dead nightmarish bodies. They have slowly but surely
    started an entire industry around the collection, transport and processing
    of all the bodies into as many useful things as they can.

    The question: How can an abundance of dead bodies be used to create as
    many fuel types as possible.

    The types of fuel that I am mainly looking into:

    combustion fuels (cars, fuel-powered tools like chainsaws)
    burning fuels (for cooking, heating, electricity and steam production)
    lightsource fuels (torches, candles, "clean" bonfires to guide
    travelers at night like a lighthouse). explosive fuels (propellant for
    bullets, grenades and other explosives).

    Conditions that apply:

    use of alternative materials is allowed, as long as 75% or more of the
    fuel substance is gained from the dead bodies. anything of the
    creatures can be used. Their skin, bones, remaining fecal matter or
    small quantities of specialist materials if you see a use. the size of
    the creatures goes from dog-sized to paraceratherium-sized
    (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraceratherium). while Cthulian
    sushi-monsters, giant spiders and more are part of the nightmare
    force, for ease of answering the important bulk of the bodies are of
    similar in consistency as pigs and cows and any other bodies are
    discounted (unless only tiny amounts of material needs to be gained
    from this group of bodies). any magical properties, like the giant
    spiders not collapsing under their own weight, are instantly gone upon
    death of the creature. the refinement process can take a maximum of 5
    years.

    Well stated. Better than I could have.

    the *Snit (AKA Michael Glasser)*, this should not be done. He
    will drive you crazy with his twisted logic, his deep-rooted
    need to be ALWAYS right at any cost. He will move goalposts,
    set up strawmen, and bore you into submission with his endless
    pedanticism. The only way to engage him is to hit and run. NEVER
    engage him, it's a futile, empty procedure that will only anger
    you and feed him. Take my advice and STAY AWAY!" 27 Oct 2004 <https://web.archive.org/web/20190529043314/http://cosmicpenguin.com/snitlist.html>
