I have yet to see another jaguar s type r in my neck of the woods. Never even know they existed until i was researching to get an m5 or amg. Proud to say i picked the jag just for that same reason, not many around, at least around my neck of the woods. I rarely even see an s type period. Lots of x types around long beach though... cool to know there are at least some nice Jag owners out there that are not snobby or A** holes .

jag owners are not a$$ holes, we just have a passion for jags. I'm going to speak for myself here, jaguars are just diferent than the common bmw or mercedes. theres more heritage, and class. As a jag driver i always try to be modest, better than being a jerk about your car being better. Jag = Class

A few years ago, I got rear ended at a redlight by two highschool kids in a Camaro. When I climbed out of the car they came toward me - yelling and calling me a bunch of filthy names. Just then, my oldest son, a 308 pound steelworker, climbed out of my car, and, calmly informed them that he was going to start sticking Camaro parts up their respective rumps. They quickly climbed back in the car and locked the doors. My car wasn't hurt, so we just drove off, and, left the disabled Camaro sitting at the light with coolant running out of it.

and I almost never see anyone young driving them..even in LA
Now I try to be a "christian" motorist most of the time, unless there's a beetle around. God I hate those cars.(ok so its a little childish
ever even know they existed until i was researching to get an m5 or amg.

The Jag is my "middle aged" car (I'm 45). I've been driving an odd assortment of Italian cars since my '20s, and one thing that was always fun about it was the mutual excitement when owners of the same marque would run into each other coming in opposite directions, and the established signals -- we wave out the window (Alfa), flash our brights (Maserati), toot our horns (Lancia), and our mechanics make espresso and smoke those bad Italian cigars with us while insisting we work on the car with them. I've only had the Jag a few weeks, but I have to say I'm not feeling the love. Yesterday I jiggled my brights at an approaching S-Type, and the owner glared at me like I was from another planet (wrong signal maybe? I probably should have waved). The Jag mechanic I've found is friendly enough, but doesn't seem the least bit interested in hearing my theories, let alone making me an espresso and smoking a cigar with me -- and sure as hell wouldn't let me past the yellow demarcation line in his shop (I didn't bother to ask, it was obvious -- his shop is too clean). I like the Jag, and I certainly wouldn't say Jag owners are A-holes -- but I have to say Im missing the comradery...

Cigars...well, we all know how bad those are for you. lol

Yeah, clearly it's got to be something less espressive than what Italian car owners do. Maybe I'll just settle for discretely peering over my eyeglasses!
