Can two people on here do me a large and answer some questions for me for a class? One to two sentences per answer is fine. Thanks!
How many miles do you drive each week/year for work?
Does your company reimburse you for your mileage or provide you with a company car?
Do you think it is/would be worth it for your employer to provide you with a company car?
If you were to request a company car, how would you go about justifying the cost to your employer? If you already have one, how do you think they justify the cost?
You still go to school?
1) 50/year
2) Yes
3) No
4) I would probably have to bribe the company in some way. Maybe some compromising pictures of the CEO. Some sort of extortion deal. Then it would probably be justifiable.
You drive 50 miles per year? That is about as believable as Kate Beckinsale being my wife.
well, since Matt is looking for completely retarded data:
1) 10,780/year commuting to work (44 miles per day)
How many miles do you drive each week/year for work? 4 miles each way, 8 miles/day = 40 miles/week = 2,000/year - however, my wife and i work together so we carpool. it's much less
Does your company reimburse you for your mileage or provide you with a company car? My last job was more outside sales, so I got $200.00/month reimbursement, flat rate. This job I get reimbursed by the mile (I think it's .50/mile now)
Do you think it is/would be worth it for your employer to provide you with a company car? Like, as a bonus for being a person who works in an office? Sure, I'd take a Porsche GT2.
If you were to request a company car, how would you go about justifying the cost to your employer? If you already have one, how do you think they justify the cost?
I'd tell them I get paid too little, so paying my car payment would make up the difference. ESPECIALLY if I got a gas card with it.
When we lived overseas for my dad's job, they gave us a family company car with Unlimited gas card. Man, did we abuse that. Greatest. Thing. Ever.
1) 6240 (24 miles a day, 120 a week, 480 month)
2) no and no
3) they should. but im stoked i have a cool job so i'll suck it up and put my own gas in my car.
4) the only thing i would get for free and have it justified is a surfboard. im with ian, i COULD bribe the company...
a surfboard? do you work for a surf company?
yeah. well technically i work for the skate division of the surf company. but yeah, billabong owns element.
thats cool. im looking for a new board - i want to get a channel islands flyer - although i guess you wouldnt work with them. are there any good sites to check out for deals on boards that you in the "industry" know of?
do you guys have a play it again sports over there?
yeah, they definitely dont sell surfboards though.
hmmm, yeah they do...

this is a good place if you're not going out all the time and you just want to learn...good prices.
oh thanks...i meant the one in my area doesnt have boards. i could check some jersey shore area stores though.
LOL oh yeah, i forgot you dont live close to the water. YES!!! check the ones near the beach. they'll have a store that sells them there. sorry bout the confusion.
thanks! im going board shopping soon. i'd like the flyer, it seems like a nice board for my purposes. Probably around a 6'8" or so (I'm 6'3") and currently i ride a 6'2" that is too small for me now and has been for a few years. So if anyone out there is looking for an affordable shortboard, let me know :) i almost bought a new one last summer on sale, i just didnt wanna shell out the dough. This summer i plan to surf more than I have the last two years, so I'm thinking its high time to get a new board...
go anything over a 7'. go long board. if you want to do tricks go shorter than what you have. but to just soul-surf...go 7'+
i've got a longboard already. so ive got that covered. its an amazing board. it feels like im driving a cadillac when i ride that baby. sooooo smooth. i figured it was just the fact that longboards are supposed to be smooth, but after riding other longboards and not enjoying them as much, i realized how nice mine is. ill never give that one up.
my first board was a 7'4", and i loved that board too. Very mobile, easy to catch waves and stay in them. when i was about 15, it blew off the roofracks on our old VW van into the chesapeake bay, and was never seen again. i've always thought i wanted one about that size again, but i figured a 6'8-6'10 would provide a nice merger between ride and maneuverability.
thank you socalgal and superhero... and a big PPPPBBBBBTTTTTT to ian!
You paint your nails... don't you...
