THE COMPANY CAR

I've always thought how great it would be to have a work car, a company-owned vehicle...... owned by the people you work for.... they love you so much that they are going to give you a cool way to get to and from work, and around town. 

You won't have to pay for flat tires, a dead battery, a dead AC compressor, new fan belts, new shocks, change the oil, fix the #$@%-up power windows, or the CHECK ENGINE light when it comes on.  You won't have to pay for the inspection or the registration. They, your employer, will take care of everything.  It's just a "here, valued employee, is a token of our appreciation and enjoy it" vehicle.  AND THEY WILL FIX THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THING!  And, did I mention, that they will take care of the CHECK. ENGINE. LIGHT. PROBLEM.!!

Just a new, comfortable, stylish car.  In silver, or mauve, or powder blue, OR MAYBE BLACK!!
Provided to you because they appreciate what you do for them. The Work Vehicle.  The Company Car.

I've always thought that would be so great............  Unless THIS was your Company Car ........

What if you had to drive THIS all day?!  I'm not sure I would be so excited about dragging myself out of bed at 6:00 in the morning, slathering on make-up, figuring out what to wear (again), feeding the cats, and headin' out in this!!  So all day long, THIS is what you're going to be driving around in.

The two young (aging 30's) women in this customized Mini-Cooper-with-a-huge-Red-Bull-can-on-top car were clueless about the busy highway they were approaching, because they were both on their cell phones, texting and talking, simultaneously, laughing, having a great time. Then, they took off at 200 miles an hour when the light changed.  I couldn't keep up with them in my 12 year old Ford. 

They were a fine representation of how great life could be if you consumed their product.  So I think they deserved their Company Car.  I just hope they have a back-up for grandma's funeral.

Be careful what you wish for......

I love my 12 year old Ford.
