Your thoughts...getting a company vehicle...rock and hard place

[Laura's Babies]

I've had several HHR's as rentals and I loved them. They are a little larger than the PT Crusier and they are comfortable cars, good for long trips and so much fun to drive! The only thing is there isn't a lot of room for 2 peoples, months worth of luggage but it will fit.

I say do what you are comfortable with. Have you checked on what insurance will cost for the car and factored that in? Is that with the monthly note manageable for you with? You will love the car.

Actually, Laura, I can get business insurance for only $30 a year more than what I am paying now on my 2001 Toyota! That will be $680, or $700 worst case scenario.

I am being phoned by the dealership today or tomorrow, so that's the first hurdle - passing the credit app.

We got one as a rental in Hawaii...it was cute and pretty roomy but basically had none of the comforts of my car so I really didn't care for it, maybe we got the chopped down model or something.

The HHR has been chosen as the company vehicle because it is a good height to be a "billboard" and has lots of storage compartments. Plus, with it being a 4 cylinder, it can get better gas mileage than a lot of other NA vehicles its size. Highway, it's rated as good as my Toyota, which managed 44 mpg on the last tankload.

Anyone wanna buy a Toyota?

The WEIRDEST thing happened. My former bosses - who took me out for a wonderful dinner last night since I left - called today. The gal they hired just quit after 2 days!

SO - I am there when I can be...and the other people they interviewed thought they were applying for part time only. So MAYBE I can just be there two days a week while the computer biz is shaping up. At least it will be some steady income while I get the other biz going.

Pray for more money and it's funny what God comes up with!

I thought computer people were smart?


While the pic was loading up I noticed the word "WINDOWS" on the door of the truck.

Like, aren't people gonna see that and say, These people don't know the difference between doors and windows? So how can I trust them with my computer?

RICHARD, please come up to Canada so I can give you a wee affectionate *smack* upside the head.
