Nothing special with my bosses, although they all make some big bucks and can afford it. If anything i get ball busted by them for having a better car. I wonder if they will think they are paying me too much when I move on from the TSX to something a bit more expensive

All of these are about 4-5 years old...
Head of EE - Chevy Silverado Pickup, extended cab fully loaded
Director of Engineering - Ford Ranger Pickup
VP of Division - Nissan Pathfinder

My boss drives a Dodge Ram diesel, not sure what year. Then the boss above his drives an 04 or 05 Mazda3. Then the big boss (the owner of the company)......I'm not quite sure since he lives up in San Jose area, and the company is in Ontario, CA. However, since the company is in the car business, I know he (or the company) owns the following cars:

- 3 early 70s Chevy Camaros
- early 70 Ford Mustang
- Ford Maverick
- custom-built 70 Chevy El Camino with an LS7 motor
- custom-built Chevy Silverado with double dually
- supercharged Ford truck
- 05 Pontiac GTO
- Volvo V70
- Ferrari 512TR & F40

CEO/Owner has a Porsche 911 and Bentley Continental Flying Spur
COO (direct boss) has an Audi A8, and it has an annoying rattle. I heard 1/2 the way from Cincinnati to Nashville. It's like my 04 TL in that the rattles seem to go away once the car warms up a bit.

boss-boss - Kia Rio .......When I started, I saw him roll up in this, and was thinking I got into the wrong profession. Luckily he usually drives a Volvo V70.

People I actually Work for: Volvo XC90, and a GMC Yukon (that was until his 2 year old daughter totaled it a few days ago)

Was the Kia Rio a loaner because his Volvo was in the shop?

And yes, please explain re: 2-year old totalling the Yukon.

I'm not sure the details..........I haven't even had time to talk to them about it yet.

I think they left her in the car and ran back to grab something. She got the car out of gear and it rolled backwards into the middle of a big street and hopped the gaurd rail. I'm not sure if she was able to start the car, or if the the engine was already on or what. Their daughter was fine, and I think that's what they were concerned the most about. Now if your 16 year old kid wrecks your car, then you can be :angryfire

^^^ the S retails about 260k and this one was about 225k in 2003..
its a hard choice, but i can say this, even i'm sure the guy in a Vanquish S would be like "WTF is that" if s/he saw the zagato..... hard decision but then again only 99 of the others were produced, so i guess it makes that easy lol
