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????
b15 and carlitos_370z like this.

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.
