I've been driving company cars and gasing up on company cards for the past 10+ years. Before that my only cars were an '85 Honda Civic with 200K miles, a hole in the back door, front and rear bumpers held on by duct tape/bailing wire/and a shoelace. It died on the last day of my senior year, a block from the last party of our high school lives and we just pushed it into a parking lot and left it there. I followed this up with an '86 Prelude that took me through college and early adulthood (also 200K+ miles). It overlapped my first company car by a couple years, until it was eventually stolen and found a month later wrecked in Oakland. I signed it over to the tow yard to help offset towing fees and the many parking tickets it had accrued while derelict. All in all I think I've spent about $8K on cars and all the savings on cards. It's been a good run . If and when I ever take a normal desk job and they stop letting me drive their cars around, I may need to adjust my habits accordingly.. van full of cards by the river maybe???
