Default Working Vettes

Does anyone use their vettes for work? I just got a job offer and I have to use my own car. I know there will be lots of driving. They seem to be offering quite a bit for car use/gas/milage. Is using my car a good idea?

I think we all know getting in and out of a vette several times a day can be a real pain in the body parts. At the end of the day you might feel the pain. You also have to consider the mileage-vs-value issue. And the thought of having people aim at your vette all day long..... well, not for me.

I do...but of course I did not buy a brand new or low mileage vette to worry about either. I bought a worker car, not a show car.

Yeah me. I bought my vette to drive it. Zip around to meetings and whatnot. Love drving the stuffing out of the vette. BTW, I write off all maintenance, ammenities "for work purposes" gas and mileage.

The sign won't stick to the top, cars are fiberglass remember! Sign has to go in the back window. :cheers:

Oh, and to answer your original question. YES! I used my car for work on a daily basis till the motor went. I'd never complain about having to drive our Vette for work.
