Seriously... now I can't use my car for a vacation, to drive my kid and our neighbor to their soccer game? I would rather have a car allowance and just be done with the company car.

You can't seriously be complaining about not being able to drive your company car on a family road trip...the other nickel and dime shit I agree with, but putting 1000 miles on the company whip so you can take the wife and kids to the beach? Come on...

umm....aren't they deducting a payment from my check each time? Therefore, I sholud have the right to drive it. Besides, the vehicle is comparable with a golfcart.

Careful what you wish for. COV had an allowance program for employees that for some reason or another needed a vehicle that the company/division did not supply(health reasons, too tall, too fat to fit in normal car etc). That was a $900 allowance but it had some strings attached. The 900 included gas, you were required to carry a certain amount of insurance that was much higher than a normal policy and the kicker was that the car could be no older than a certain age, maybe 3 years old. I think I remember it saying that the car had to be a 4 door sedan as well but I may be wrong. It looked good from the $900 side but when you put the pencil to it to do the math is wasn't such a great deal especially if you have a large territory.
