If that is the only way you can afford to own a Vette, then I say, "you do what you gotta do"
If it isn't, then I say "your nuts"

I don't think that advertising on your car lets you deduct it for a business expense????

Regardless, They may treat Corvettes like that in Ohio but here in Colorado, we have a bit more tact!

This is why I think there should be some kind of exam given before yup can buy a vette to test for motor skills and see if you have the proper attitude and respect for the vette well this may have the motor skills but fails every other test

You can deduct mileage on any car used for business!! The Uncle Dude does not care what it is and you do not have to have advertising or a sign on it....

As I'm in advertising...you are a smart business man. People will remember you as the guy who advertises on his yellow Vette.

People remember unusaul things before they remember the average Joe. As my name is Gerry, people pronounce it as Jerry. It's actually pronounced Garry, it's funny how many people remember me for my unusual spelling of my name.

You payed for the car......use it how you want.

Rolling billboard. Should catch a lot of attention. Of course your other Vette is lettering free.
