The president has impeccable taste (and the $$$ to back it up), your NetAdmin is a asshat for daily driving his rare and classic ride, and the rest of you have crappy taste.

I think it's funny how shallow some people are. Hollow shells of human beings. I think almost the entire marketing department at my work drives BMW's, Mercedes, Audi's, or Volvos. Gotta keep up with the Joneses, gotta show your status.

no, a hummer will cost you $50, a H1 (or Humvee) will cost you close to $10,000

The rest of my co-workers have Civics or Kias or something equally unimpressive. My car is by far the worst.

Pics of your 280?

When I was little and they were new, I thought they were the neatest. I'm telling you, as a kid in the early 80's, those things looked like spaceships compared to the normal cars you'd see on the road. They were sleek when everything else was shaped like a cinderblock.

maybe he works for the municipal transit commission/company and they actually drive those, and it just so happens that they have a very involved upper management.

I had '81 280Z. That car was the sh!tz back in the days. The head would pop up every time you step hard on the gas. Memories!
