What wife wouldn't? I dragged him out shopping for a mini van to replace the old and trusty grocery getter (02 PT Cruiser) and drive home in a very sparkly 05 S-type ("Happy Valentine's Day Kitty") according to him the look on my face during the $hits & giggles test drive was too much. It took 3 days before the shock wore off that little ol' me was the proud & dumbfounded owner of one of the sexiest cars on the planet.
On a narcissitic note, I've raised 5 kids as a military wife-- I gotta grandbaby coming, I'm a full time student --I deserve a Jag!
BTW I think you fellas are all right too =D

Well welcome to the site! What branch of the military? I was in the Air Force for 5 years.

I'm the only one in my unit that has a Jaguar of any type; maybe the active cats are into S-Types? I do think that the Jaguar marque, in general, impresses military folks more than others. My STR (and my former XJ8) get reactions above and beyond when I drive the other cars to my drill weekends.
Of course, I'm in an infantry unit, so most of them probably assess the value of a car based on how many girls they think it would pull.

Former active Army, current National Guard here (and former contractor -- is that the trifecta?)...

My wife is still raising our 5.....but I help some.... y'all do seem to have a bit in common...05 S-Types, Navy husbands, 5 kids...no grandbabies on the horizon for us, oldest in first year of college, youngest in 3rd grade. Congrats on your pending arrival. Thank your husband for his service. Big "thank-you" to all the other vets posting above me, too. Me? Naval Aviation, 1984-1993.
the "R" in STR stands for Really-more-expensive. Tires, brakes, fuel(fuel is same cost, he'll just go thru more of it.)
