When I was a young lad the car of my dreams was the Jaguar XKE. There was just something intoxicating about that long sleek hood and that tapered cockpit.Yesterday, when I stopped by the Safeway in the Enchanted Forest Shopping Center I spotted this well preserved beauty in the parking lot.
This morning I told my colleague Bill Harrison about this. He’s a big car guy. Bill shared a story about a neighbor of his who actually owned one. The neighbor laughed when Bill told him how he too always loved that car and then told Bill that “the only problem was that I could never take it out in the rain. When the ignition system got wet it wouldn’t start.”That reminded me of an old joke I heard from a mechanic who worked exclusively on British cars. Why don’t the British make televisions?
They can’t figure out how to make them leak.
