check out what i got to drive today..
so i landed a new job as a driver for a company that delivers cars. pretty much we are the company that the manufacturers give the cars to, for us to deliver to the clients who want to drive them for a week to see if they like the car / dont like the car, drive them to write articles or blog about them, or just promote their cars. so far ive driven to parts of new york, all over jersey, and even connecticut, a buddy of mine had to drive to vermont so i guess the company is well known.
so this morning i got to drive this camaro ss, and holy **** is it amazing..great feel all around and the pickup is alot faster than i thought it would be. the visibility in it sucks though..
these are some other cool cars ive gotten the chance to drive..
new chevy traverse
mercedes s550 this thing hauls ass and is amazing to drive
audi with a diesel motor
jetta with a diesel motor
brand new jeep wrangler...so much fun to drive i can see why they are so popular
these are cars i havent driven but have seen around the warehouse...really sick cars..
mercedes sls
audi r8 fresh out of detailing
matte black mercedes sls (i think)...apparently its a factory option from mercedes to get a matte black color and its more expensive to get that done than regular paint. i laughed and said just get the regular paint and rattle can it...
porshe race car...its a hybrid also
fat dodge challenger...6 speed r/t..hemi motor
its an amazing job so far...they cover gas and tolls all i have to do is chill out in a car some people can only dream of driving and drive all day lol..

congrats on the job, i kinda do the same thing, cept i drive a truck all day, only thing i can say is, make sure you get a full nights sleep, cuz yea your only driving a car but its alot of mental stress and also your not doing things for long period of time, you could doze off, but otherwise,
id kill you just for your damn job
