Good for you. How does that work for you when you have to entertain and take out clients? they just sit in your lap? How about going through a couple inches of snow to get to the office?

I'd much prefer to DD a loaded Honda Accord than a 370z. Everyone is different though

Snow... what's that?

Also, he's in FLA, so no snow there either.

As far as clients - who's to say there is more than one? Or that there's not a company car? Hmmm????

I know he's in FL, but that doesn't mean DD'ing the Z in Chicago is a great thing.

If there's a company car, why would you DD the Z? Defeats the purpose. Could just be one, could be more. In my prior job, I was always taking out at least 2 people to lunch or dinner in my own car and expense the miles.

Because, not every company allows you to take your car home.

We have County cars, but we still have to drive into work... if we go anywhere we get to use one from the motor pool.

However, not many jobs require you to "entertain" clients, etc.

True. Just adding another viewpoint on why the Z isn't a good DD

Entertaining is the fun part! Being in the office all the time is too mundane for me.

I'm a machinist. Clients come to my shop, and snow is why I moved to Florida.

My 40 something wife DD's our Z and loves it. I even tried to get her to trade in on another car and she won't do it.
