Leslie's idea is good, but I think some IT people have cars like that, too. I have seen one of Indy's vehicles; wasn't that a Lexus van you drove at Tahoe?
ROFL - you got both Lori and I with that one!
Actually, I tend to grow affection for certain vehicles that serve me well and have gone as far as replacing engines to keep them in service.
When working for a certain technology company [that will remained un-named] as Engagement Manager for enterprise accounts, I drove my trusty snow-truck to a soiree where we were required to valet, and one of the Executive Management saw my 'entrance' and I was ordered to never arrive at a client location in that vehicle again.
For the next two years they reimbursed me for a rental car, and I drove the pickup on the weekends to do chores (with Quiqley in the passenger seat).
