Also asked about the profit sharing. At first she laughed and said with this year...who knows. But then, she said they'll figure that out sometime in February.
Right now, we using 15 packs, the white Chevy's and Ford Transit 250's, to move a lead and 2 drivers. It was up to 3 drivers for a few weeks until someone complained, then down to 3 total folks. I can't wait till we can go back to about 8/vehicle. No one at work "runs" to any vehicle!!! I did have that when I worked at that company in West Palm for those four months. Folks actually ran to the vehicle they wanted and one also had to keep the same seating the van all day long. Kindergarten stuff really. The big problem now is most folks want the Ford vans. The big boss has been asked, told, that no one really likes the Chevy vans but we still have some. But now, leads who get to the keys first are taking the other Ford keys to give to their buddies which makes the playing field not be level which is really sad. We even have one dude who gets in line for temperature taking a full 15 minutes early so he can be first in for the same Ford Transit van. One day, our lead got it and this other guy let him know that "it's really my vehicle" and then got all mad. It's amazing how guys over 70 can get so crazy about this stuff. My lead won't play that game so we usually end up with a Chevy.
That's really the only bad thing about working there...these old cranky guys think hey should get the best vehicles and the best runs. All I can do is shake my head and laugh!!!

Kind of a dull color for that car, IMHO.

but they apparently wanted to give her the car, because they gave her another curtain to trade for, and the same Audi was behind it. She took it this time.

Still loving the job and figure I'll re-evaluate in a year or two just to see where were at. The extra cash each month is nice to get and hell, it's only 3 days a week. Still have plenty of down time. And if I were home, probably would be shopping or just hangin' round the house anyways.

Definitely a 6 figure car there, which seems insane, but the 90s are now vintage, and finding one not modded within an inch of its life isn't easy. Should have bought one 10 years ago.

They also gave me my plates back, which is a first on a lease return. He also told me NJ is cracking down and suspending licenses of people who don’t turn them in. I must have been really lucky over the years because I have never surrendered a set of plates.

Actually, I got new plates for the RDX instead of transferring. So I must have those too. I got quite the collection of plates in the garage now. Eventually I will turn them in. Maybe.

Also, any other manufacturers offering anything attractive? I'm guessing that the negative would be over $10k and a monthly payment under $800 would be a good goal. If it's over $1k I don't think it would be a good idea.
Unless the wife has different plans for me Saturday, I’ll get the last few things out of the garage and the awful shelves down. That will allow me to park both cars in finally.
I’m thinking of using slatwall to hang things from. It will be easy to mount and it’s more robust than pegboard. I can probably get a good price on it from some of my old vendors. I used to buy a ton of it for the stores. I could also see what stores are going out of business and get it dirt cheap, but I’ll have to take it down.

sadly, no. In general I am also not a fan of large 2 doors like this.

I wouldn't mind this Andre mobile. If it came with a long warranty. Love the color.
