HOW TO RECOGNIZE A COMPANY CAR
|
||
|
||
Why are company cars so popular? The reason seems to be that they have
|
||
special features not found in private automobiles.
|
||
|
||
1. They travel faster in all gears, especially reverse.
|
||
|
||
2. They accelerate at a phenomenal rate.
|
||
|
||
3. They enjoy a much shorter braking distance.
|
||
|
||
4. They have a much tighter turning radius.
|
||
|
||
5. They can take bumps at twice the speed of private cars.
|
||
|
||
6. Oil and tires pressures and battery and water levels do not need to
|
||
be checked nearly so often.
|
||
|
||
7. The floor is shaped just like an ashtray.
|
||
|
||
8. They only burn the highest price gas.
|
||
|
||
9. They do not have to be garaged at night.
|
||
|
||
10. They can be driven up to 100 miles with the oil warning light on.
|
||
|
||
11. They need cleaning less often, especially inside.
|
||
|
||
12. The suspension is reinforced to allow concrete slabs, heavy
|
||
building materials, postage meters and furniture to be carried.
|
||
|
||
13. They are adapted to allow reverse to be engaged while the car is
|
||
still moving forward.
|
||
|
||
14. The tire walls are designed for bumping into and over curbs.
|
||
|
||
15. Unusual and alarming engine noises are easily eliminated by the
|
||
adjustment of the radio volume control.
|
||
|
||
16. No security is needed. They may be left anywhere, unlocked, with
|
||
the keys in the ignition.
|
||
|
||
17. The wiper blades are equipped with a magnetic device which attracts
|
||
parking tickets. These tickets are great for cleaning windows,
|
||
wiping up grease or oil spots, and stuffing holes in the upholstery.
|
||
|
||
18. Even minor mechanical repairs take at least a week to fix, making
|
||
it necessary to rent a car -- a Porsche 928S.
|
||
|
||
19. They are programmed to self-destruct a 60,000 miles, which ensures
|
||
that the driver will have a new car every 2 years.
