Told you, and you laughed... snerk Sometimes it pays to look at the
world with an open mind...

Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of GE who doesn't pay taxes, will have to find
another vehicle to force his people who have company cars to purchase
and drive.

If my employer "forced" me to drive a company car, I wouldn't bitch
about who made it.

But maybe you feel entitled to force your employer to chose the car of
YOUR choice?

I have never had a job where my employer provided me with a car or a car
allowance.

---------------------------------
Yes it is a nice perk. But if it is a car allowance and not a company
provided car, it has to meet your own requirements also, as that vehicle
will be your daily driver as well as weekend vehicle in most cases. since I
also towed my boat, I picked an Expedition in 1999 as that was the closest
to meeting all my requirements. That car allowance is taxable but you get
to write most of it off to the car, if you drive the car enough percentage
on company business, and the commute to work does not count in the company
miles for tax purposes.

I've had it both ways. I prefer getting the car with expenses,
including gas.

Difference between a company car and a car allowance, is if you leave the
company and you have a company car, you turn in the keys and walk away.
With a car allowance, you drive away.

I haven't either and if I had, I wouldn't be looking that gift horse
in the mouth.

Why would you?

It depends. My brother-in-law received a car allowance each month. The
allowance was to include the lease on the vehicle, insurance,
maintenance and fuel costs. The car he chose from the list of vehicles
was a gas pig. He was busting through hi allowance each month due to the
fuel costs.

Then why did he choose a gas pig?
