Some people think their way is the only correct way.
That explains why others would look bad to them.

According to Brewtech personal appearance is everything.
So the old, injured or disabled, are "whimpy unattractive"
And he is not one that keeps opinions to himself.

Here you have it in a nutshell- no pun intended.
gotta say it in a Foghorn Leghorn voice, as you state your closing statement, Counselor! Only then, I can be peacefully led to my prison cell, where a sea of testosterone awaits me.

Well if you were paying attention, you'd know the OP posted this thread in 2012 and left the forum two weeks later.

yeah that was posted a few pages ago, when the thread was resurrected. I know... it’s like ordering a pizza for a stranger and never seeing it delivered. Its hilarious! Except... the joke is on me. What I really did was, order dinner for someone who was hungry. I may have struck a nerve with a few. Look the jig is up. Im a phony. Im just a dumb, beer bellied dude with a Jag hoping to get some attention, you name it, Im it. So please don’t be the guy who kicks dirt in my face, while in cuffs, begging for my freedom. Mercy! Mercy!

So what happens to all that testosterone after your 60's? You begin to lose it, and I'm convinced that if you're married it flows into your wife.

It took over 40 years for me to realize that I married a Drill Sergeant!

Use it or lose it! All I know is that my lil chickadee is getting nicer and finer with every passing year. Ya gotta hit the gym though😅. I can already hear it... “oh no! Not the gym thing again!”

A great comeback.
There is difference between things that cost money and those that have substance- this is the latter.

The XK draws snarky comments because it's gorgeous and looks expensive. But just because something looks expensive, doesn't mean it is. And vice-versa. In case you haven't seen this, it's hilarious!

I believed that too till Brewtech's profound insight.
That our inner-self is a beer drinking sloth not unlike him. And it is looking for a hard man. (thus Mae West's wisdom 'A hard man is good to find')
So its constantly looking to verify via confirmation bias whether the competitor is a sloth or Adonis.
Interestingly, to Brewtechs point, I bet none of the snarky comments were ever from women.
This is the kind of stuff that put Sigmund on the map, when he diagnosed the little boys fear of horses stemmed from being in competition with his father for his mother.

I saw on '07 XKR coupe the other day in front of me in traffic and still looks all the business. Really does stand the test of time.

+1. While creeping along during rush hour traffic yesterday afternoon, as I passed a police officer who was standing in the middle of an intersection directing traffic he said: "That's a great looking Jaguar!" and I replied "Thanks, it's ten years old!"

Maybe we can put this thread to its peaceful end.

I've decided if and when anyone comes up to me and starts talking about my Jaguar,

I'm just going to look at him or her shocked and quietly whisper "You can see me?"

I apologize for mistaking this as a snarky comment.
Apparently many more think the same way.

I like that song. Its catchy af! Do you have more? Ive have frequented a few gay bars here in Hollywood, and it’s where the best dance music can be found. Plus its nice to have a confident man buy me a couple of beers instead, because this little boy can handle himself in any social sitch. Now, it’s my belief that if you own an XK, you’re smart and know that you got a much better deal than the chumps buying other flashy cars for twice or thrice the money. But thats it. If you aint got it, you aint got it. I gotta go... gotta get a trim before I get some trim, if you know whut I mean. Its been fun!

You're from Somerset. Shouldn't that be "tyresome"?
