Definitive Company Car Thread

Quote






























To the original poster......why does this matter?
Will you turn down the job offer if the car choice is not to your liking?
For our sake, I hope you don't get the position because you are an idiot!

Nope, just curious. It seems like every other thread someone asks about the cars that are offered. I just wanted to get real answers and put them in one thread so everyone can quit asking!
 






I saw a Covidien rep driving a Dodge Durango here in the North East. Don't know if that is a snow belt option all I know is I see him all the time, he's at Covidien and he has a Durango.
 






I'm sure I'm the 1% here, but I got to the final rnd and based on what I was being told at the time, it was between me and "1 other candidate." I asked a few people who worked at Covidien in yrs past what the car choices usually are and got similar answers to what was posted above. The problem is I am 6'8. I understand the need to be humble and not flashy, but unfortunately for me, those cars would never be any good for me because I barely fit in them. And at the time, I had kids and those cars just wouldn't be big enough. Like I said, I'm sure I'm the 1%, but for me, I was better off driving my own Suburban and getting an allowance.

Ah the negativity....a real tough guy. Can't get away with it at home with the wife so you have to spread your bad ass attitude where nobody knows you. Well, as long as is it makes you feel better about yourself, I guess it serves a/your purpose....

That can suck as you spend so much time in the car. However, unless you have some form of disability you can't get any heck
Lp from them. Also, look at it this way.. You HAVE a job and in t bees times I would be happy. For that and deal with inconveniences of which free car you get!
After. Being downsized recently, I'll take it.. Good luck to you..

Who's the tough guy now? You just made this personal....there's no need for that. Keep it clean and respectable.
