I'll see if I can go down and get pictures one day.

MercedesAMG · June 17th, 2004, 7:48 AM

nice.. color?

Viper007Bond · June 17th, 2004, 9:47 AM

Dunno, I'll ask tomorrow when he's awake.

BTW, for you that don't know, that's a $138,000 car... images/smilies/mellow.gif

Lemme guess, the president made a bunch of stupid decisions, got the company in trouble and fired a bunch of people.
Now he's getting a bonus because stock went up since the company is now perceived to be "leaner" images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

.
Or is it one of these rare cases where a president actually did good work?

No, but they were about a billion dollars in the hole, but that was due to the economy, gas prices, and such. My dad works for Freightliner (semi-truck maker) which is owned by Diamer-Chrysler. All of the senior class and such have Mercs or a nice Chrysler (I think there's a 300C or two).

A couple of people down from getting a company car. He's no where near the top, but he's no where near the bottom. He's been there like 27 years or something.

Renesis · June 17th, 2004, 8:55 PM

Nice and what's his job? administration, building trucks, research?

Viper007Bond · June 18th, 2004, 12:32 AM

Administration. He's kinda in charge of the buildings (who should go where, finding new locations, etc.).

Renesis · June 18th, 2004, 12:40 AM

Nice!

/me going in Buisness administration in August
