Shipping and Handling

Besides costing an arm and a leg (A and L) and guzzling a lot of gas both in the city and highways (C and H), Jaguars aren't exactly meant to blend in. They are beautiful, flashy and expensive and besides all their british caché, Ford has turned the brand into their version of something Ford Motors could not afford to acquire.

Did the driver mean to convey the owner's names were something like Steve and Mary? Or was he trying to be esoteric by giving us initials for our puzzle-solving pleasure? The answer may be more simple and mundane, S & H might be the reason he can afford to drive the car. I don't say own, because he could very well be leasing it, paying 579$ a month for 36 months with a 10500 annual mileage limit and 3999$ due at signing.

But I digress, this blog has integrity. Satire is important, and no british Ford-owned sporty upscale sedan is going to take my mind of it. It sure looks nice, though.

"Honey are you sure we can't swing the 579$?"
"Not if you want to feed the baby!"
