Default Identity Crisis!

I just saw this on eBay and it made me laugh!
A car with a split personality!
Why would an Aston owner in his right mind put a Jaguar on his hood?
Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?

The new owner of the Aston Martin had "buyers remorse" since both cars look so alike and he really wanted a Jaguar.

The only way to cure the "buyers remorse" was to put the Jaguar on his hood.

Now he thinks he really owns a Jaguar, or only has room in his garage for one car, while thinking he owns two.

Who knows what goes thru peoples minds.

However, it is a nice photo.

Inferiority complex?
Performance anxiety?
Coping mechanism?
Envy?

Only "spotted" cat I can think of is a Cheetah. Jags have rosette markings.

Can you say "photoshop"?

The signs of it are everywhere in the pic...

There is no Aston owner anywhere that would do that.

That is a leopard, not a jaguar.

Here's the link: Wild Jaguar Cat Great Hood Vinyl Decal Art Sticker Graphics Fit Car Truck SL222 | eBay

Seller says it is a jaguar, not a cheetah or leopard.

Here's the fastest cheetah (1965):


And a leopard (yuk!)


That'll wrap it up for now!

Now, I understand the photo after seeing the ad on eBay.

I didn't really think that any Aston Martin owner would do this but one never knows.

The hood decal reminds me of the Pontiac Trans AM in the late 70's (78) with the bird and wings on the hood.

Some old things never die and come back to life. I sure hope my wife doesn't order a Harvest Gold refrigerator or stove for the kitchen. I already told her the Avocado Green would not fly.

I'm not so sure. I am a firm believer that with a large enough Trebuchet almost anything can be made to fly.
