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.


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?

It was on the list of approved vehicles.

sales.

Snake oil doesn't sell well in The good old USA

By the way, you sound a teensy bit more masculine than you did when
you posted as plume. Which leads to the question. Are you male,
female, or something else?

Hint for the misinformed:

I never posted as "plume".

If you stop using phrases that, plume exclusively, uses, you might be
believed.

It could be that people don't want to park a potential fire hazard in
their garages.

A tank full of gasoline is, indeed a fire hazard.
