Jaguar's Mark Your Territory Sales Event
I must have missed it when this XFR-S commercial first appeared last fall, but apparently “Mark Your Territory” is one of Jaguar’s current tag lines.

Hopefully grandma takes the ciggy out of her mouth before she explains to the trooper that she was just "marking her territory" (Thinking of this in aunt Selma's voice from the Simpsons).
That video reminds me of my wife taking one of the 101 South entrance ramps in our XC90.
