Angry Jaguar Owner Tows Lemon XKR-S With Donkeys

I love Jaguar’s current lineup, I really do. I would daily drive an XKR-S if I could. It’s the perfect meld of AMG manners and Aston proportions. The XF is a good way to separate yourself from the 5-series hoard, although the interior needs an update more than Hotmail. The XJ is beautiful, and looks like a chauffeur for those few who possess power and style; it’s what I imagine the CEO of Lamborghini would like to ride in.

But their reliability always has me worried.

J.D. Power gives Jaguar a 2 out of 5 in predicted reliability, across its model lineup. One man that can back that up is Rahul Thakar of India’s western Ahmedabad. He’s had too many problems to list, and has had push-back and delays from his dealership. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore. H was sick of his Jaguar XF’s frequent breakdowns, dealer run-around and private shop delays. His family made fun of him, saying he should have got a donkey cart instead.

Boom. A vision. A solution to make the car more reliable while telling the dealership exactly how he feels about his car: tow it with donkeys.

This is probably a rare circumstance, and parts might be harder to get in his town than in Miami (insert your Tata joke), but man is this funny. There’s really no better way to slam a car than regress it to a carriage pulled by an animal. Imagine browsing Bluetooth audio  while watching “processed” hay and carrots buzzing your bumper.
