My CFO Likes My Evo

So I'm working late and there's a board presentation tomorrow so all of the execs are in. We're eating pizza and the CFO (in his 50s) comes up to me and asks me if that's my Evo outside.

I say, yeah it is and he says, "That is an awesome car."

I think he drives an S60R. Anyways, I thought that was pretty funny and pretty cool as most older people have no idea what kind of car it is.

That's good for you man. My CFO is a biotch and my VP thinks that his Mini Cooper is better then better then my Evo.

He was bragging about his Mini (bye the way, not even supercharged) to our marketing manager (She's not even close to being hot). He was saying that his car you can drive it as a manual or auto and that it has the same tranny as Porsche.

So what, you're going to make it a company policy that every employee must own an Evo and drive it to work. But the catch is that they can't make the look better then yours or go faster? LOL

In my profession, it always seems to bring a troublemaker, daredevil, and / or risk taker type of stereotype.

It's kind of a bummer because if it was some 60's iron or a Corvette it would be "cool," "nice car," or something positive.

If I had a penny for all the 2F2F jokes I'd have 4 Evo's.
