Should I hire a driver? Anyone use a driver?

I keep a staff of about 13,000 drivers on call 24/7. They drive around looking for me and whenever I waive my right arm one of my guys will rush right over to pick me up. Costs about $500/month and works great (but think Ford or Chevy). Not sure of the company but all their cars are yellow.

so...you are upgrading from subway to bentley? whateva!

Ask Larry David. He used to be one. He got out of that business and is doing well in something else now, but we all know how you must feel.

lol, well done.

seriously, if you REALLY think you need a "driver", what about contracting with a black car service, paying extra for a guarantee they'll always get to you within 10 minutes.

Towncars cars are used. Therefore, smelly.

And not to be rude but towncars can't compare to a Mercedes or Bentley. Not as much prestige, luxury or looks. I'm not into a shared/used car with dubious smells, prehistoric safety system and Luddite electronics.

And I want a car outside idling and waiting for me, don't want to be waiting around.

One thing is for sure -- I'm never setting foot in a subway again.

Speaking of smelly, I don't care to share my city with downmarket, clueless arrivistes with regrettable aspirations, and the unique inability to always get everything just that important little bit wrong.

To wit, cars come in two varieties: those that are made for driving, and those that are made for being driven in. Mercedes and Bentley make cars that are for driving. If a servant is at the wheel, it signals to everyone else that you've been declared a mental defective. You'll be blackballed at every club you try to weasel yourself into -- even your university club.

The best new car for you to be driven around in is a Chevy. For people a lot higher up the food chain, which you will never be, and whom you will never meet, it might be a Maybach, or even the fine machines from the Rolls and Royce concern (they haven't gone downhill quite as much as one might have assumed).

>smelling foreign smells

you mean, like, that Italian pizza smell?

I also have my own driver and vheicle. It's a really big blue and white vehicle with the word "MTA" printed on the side and there are lots of people in the vehicle with me.

oh, and anyone who still rides around in a CAR is a loser. If your a gazillionaire like me, you ride around in a helicopter. Buy in a building that can accomodate a chopper on the roof.

Pres, LOL; I'm with you.

But as far as vehicles, my clients who have drivers tend to use SUVs.

Not for too much longer...............

That sounds ominous, 30yrs. ... do you have a superweapon that can take down helicopters from New Jersey?

If you have to drive to NJ to get in your helicopter, how much time are you going to end up saving? (plus teh time to drive from wherever you can land it to where you are actually going). But you don't really need a superweapon to take down a non-military helicopter. http://www.slate.com/id/2211929/

Should I use a therapist? Anyone use a therapist?
I'm thinking someone who specializes in folks with delusions of grandeur.

"My, but money is in the strangest hands these days" ( see: Lord Berners)

Why do you have to drive to NJ to get your chopper. There are 2 heliports in Manhattan.

see 6 posts up.

why don't you move next to your job or move your job next to where you live..... there, you just saved $150K per year in salary, $10K per year in gas and $250K every two years for the car.

now stop smelling up the subway and just walk your ass home.
