What does your boss drive?

Some people hate their boss, yet not everyone does. They can be a lunatic or cool as a cucumber, but here at Oppo we must judge them based on one endearing quality, what they drive.

I technically have two bosses that alternate between here and Germany, but the main one drives an STI. Pretty Jalop boss in my books.

My boss actually splits time between an E36 M3 and an F10 5-series. I am okay with this.

Main job drives an F10 M5.

He was daily-ing a 335d, but ended up with lots of trouble with it. Has a supercharged Z4M for track and fun drives, and has actually let me flog it a few times. Also has a couple BMW bikes (a tourer and a sport bike).

My boss drives a 2013 Mazda CX-5, my department manager drives a 2001 Volvo V40 (she had to sell her 2008 BMW 5-series wagon when her "man" left her)

First of all, I like my boss. Just want to make that clear. I believe he drives a Silverado. I honestly can't tell trucks apart, it's a Chevy truck.

My last boss had an FJ Cruiser for the first year or so I worked for him, and replaced it with a Tundra last year.

At my internship in college my boss drove one of the biggest F150s I've ever seen. IIRC it was an extended cab longbed with a topper. It was pretty imposing.

There's a group of us from work that actually go on weekend trips together purely to drive on the sweet, sweet roads of NW Arkansas. I consider myself very lucky in this respect!

Does your boss read your OPPO posts?

Does sound lucky, if only my work did that, don't think all the mom SUV's would be all that fun though.

My boss? No idea. I've only been working here for a month and a bit, and I've never seen her arriving or leaving. There's a fairly decent chance she walks.

My Politics and History teacher at school, on the other hand, drives a Mk3 VW Polo Estate. This being Europe it is, naturally, both a manual and a diesel. I imagine there are a fair few people on this site who'd quite like it. My teacher does not. (Though, in fairness, he'd walk or cycle given the choice. He's not exactly a car enthusiast.)

Not to my knowledge, but better safe than sorry. There are people at work who read oppo.

Where in Arkansas? NW Arkansas isn't TOO far away from here, and I'm longing for some fun roads to drive

2005 Volvo S40 is what my direct boss drives
The owner of my dealership owns too many personal cars to list but his primary car is a 1983 Volvo 240DL

Around Eureka Springs, but honestly, there are loads of good roads north of I-40. Just scope out Google Maps and take your pick. You need to get down there; trust me.

Boss drives a LandRover LR4. His wife works there too and has a manual mini. She also has an old Saab collecting dust in the garage. The secretary has a land cruiser that cruises parking lots. The only other guy just traded in a passat wagon for a GMC Arcadia

A Maxima of some generation...never seen it, it's only been mentioned. My 2 counterparts and I are split between a Titan, a 335i, and my C6. Not so jalopy.

Before I got laid off, my boss drove a Ford Escape Hybrid. Which explains a lot (lack of imagination...)

My boss drives a 2003 Honda CR-V. The guy is wealthy, yet very frugal. I cut him slack for driving it because he used to have some cool cars (Datsun 240z, MGB, even an old Triumph bike). The guy is 70 years old with 16 grandchildren that he takes care of regularly so I can understand not having a bad ass car anymore.

My boss is one of my best friend. Really.

He droves Ferrari 612 to the office. Sometimes when the ferrari broke down he drove his father's Opel, a funny looking one like the Kadett only bigger., i forgot the model type of it..

He also has a Mclaren MP4-12C, BMW M6 (The one with V10 but badged as 640i) and Rolls-Royce Ghost. But his 612 is just awesome.

Panamera Turbo. The back seat really is nice & comfy, especially when G forces are at play.

A goddamn first gen Focus sedan, and he makes at least 150k a year. He thinks cars are a stupid use of money.
