Enjoy the Perks

The dayjob has its perks--namely, a paycheck. However, there is also the fun of driving press cars. Yes, that's right, I get to drive exciting cars that I would quite possibly never be able to afford in my lifetime. Since I started this job, I've tried to snap photos of each of the cars--for posterity's sake.

Pictured: Console; Porsche 911 Carrera S Tiptronic... ah, fast.

However, I'm not always sucessful in remembering to do so. But it seemed only right to share some photos, and allow any car geeks out there to live vicariousy through my rather excellent job perk. Not that I'm gloating, I really want to share this info, because it's fun.

Okay, I just realized, I really don't have many photos of these cars... ugh. I've got a Land Rover LR3 this weekend, so I'll make sure to snap some shots. It's a terribly inefficient car--14 miles to the gallon. However, it's big and comfy, like a beanbag chair. I would certainly win in a head on collision too, that's for sure.

Oh well, it's late and my eyelids are heavy.

Time to say goodnight.
