In my travels around the Venice, Florida area I have seen a couple of strange and curious things.
A Cadillac pickup truck.
A Cadillac pickup truck.
I am sure it's expensive. I am sure it is posh to sit inside it. But why? Why does it even exist? Aren't pickups working vehicles? How practical does this look? What kind of person ever feels the need for something like this?
(If you have one enlighten me, but I think it is just plain wrong.)
And this:
An SUV by Jaguar!!
Again, certainly very expensive and very posh, but it kind of looks like every other SUV on the road.
If I ever get to own a Jaguar, I for sure want it to be a whole lot sexier looking than this. If I ever even ever in my life get to just sit in one, I would want it to look a whole lot sexier than this.
(If you have one enlighten me, but I think it is just plain wrong.)
I wish I could enlighten you. I think the same thing. We have an SUV to haul our dog and items to the lake. I don't need a Jaguar for that. Besides if I had one I'd never want to get all the dog hair and get it wet from all the things we haul to the lake. Silly and pretentious to me. My sister had a big truck and she has a fit when people moved things being hauled around because it could scratch the back. So why get this fancy truck then? Isn't the point to put things back there? So I am scratching my head along side you Olga.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the 2 Jaguars that my friends owned. He had a black Jag and she had a white Jag. The 2 cars looked sporty.
ReplyDeleteI've got nothing, I am as in the dark as you. There should be cars for luxury, cars for speed and sport, and cars for utility, brands should stick to what they do best.
ReplyDeleteYears ago I read an article about a new model of the civilian version of the Humvee. There was a telling quote in the article that I put in my quote file for future edification:
ReplyDeleteThe H1 (Humvee) will be marketed to "RUGGED INDIVIDUALISTS". These are people who are irreverent and daring and want to be seen that way by other people, Mr. DiGiovanni said. "The rugged individualists are people WHO REALLY SEEK PEER APPROVAL...."
Emphasis mine. So I would imagine that such people would also be attracted to a Cadillac pickup truck a Jaguar SUV. Is it just me or is there something ironic about a rugged individualist seeking peer approval?
I would want a sportier Juagar too!!
ReplyDeleteI can't chose between people who want to be looked at and people who want something no one else has. Certainly not many people have either of the above and, as we have all agreed, why would you want to.
ReplyDeleteI had a boyfriend my senior year in high school who drove a gorgeous black Jag. I'm pretty sure I dated him for the car!
ReplyDeleteFunny post! I don't get it either, but some people have money to burn, I hear, and practicality is not a priority? Or even common sense?
ReplyDeleteI have a new truck but it is a GMC. It is very posh inside but probably nothing like a Cadillac or a Jaguar made vehicle. Wonder if Lexus and BMW make trucks? I live on a farm so I need a truck. The only reason someone might need a posh truck is to carry antiques home. LOL
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time (pre-children) we owned an XKE Jag in butter yellow. We had to sell it when I became pregnant with the twins. I couldn't fit in it anymore. (So, some Jags aren't even big enough to haul pregnant women.)
