On the other hand, the thought process can just as easily go, "Hmm, a Mercedes for a company car. This must be some Gucci-crew outfit that charges ridiculous prices and soaks their customers, I don't trust them."

Or, it may be "Look at that awesome 83 300SD!! I love those old diesels!! Hire this guy"

Or, maybe not.

I love my SD
