On the way to my favorite coffee shop in the XF Supercharged, I give a wave to a gentleman in a Jaguar E-Type. He nods back, acknowledging the passing of time and technology. Both cars are clearly Jaguars. I’m just happy to have the latest one for my 20th high school reunion. [...]

Point being, there’s powerful-beat-up-the schmuck-you’re-intimidating muscle and then there’s hey-I’m-sexy-and-pretty muscle. Both are hot, but the latter will get you in a lot less trouble. (Well, usually.) [...]
