New - company vehicle [PICS]
 

We took delivery earlier today on a new company vehicle - an '04 Kia Sedona. :)

Along with a new 2010 Kia Forte...for the wife (no pics yet).

The Sedona is a sweet ride (for a minivan, at least :1orglaugh) - fully loaded, only 40k on the odo - $8800 (Cdn.)

It'll get some good use - haulin' props and gear back and forth to the studio across town.

that is bad ass, how far is it?

Is that PS or did you really get the logo on there?
Is it as clean inside as it is outside, because that looks nice for an '04

you guys must enjoy attn, but cool nonetheless

Nice logo design work on the side

Only a few kms, we just needed something practical and utility - and we could write it off as company expense. :)

:1orglaugh was thinking the same thing about the logo but congrats on the company car :thumbsup

Its perfectly immaculate inside and out. I suspect it was maybe a southern vehicle (U.S.) owned by an older/retired couple - wintered in Fla.

The graphics are chop'd - but we're having them airbrushed very similiar shortly.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

you know the economy and adult is in the shitter when people start posting pics of used kia's

LOL

Yeah, really. :1orglaugh



How's the cargo space of your Porsche/BMW/Jag/Ferrari/McClaren (insert mommy's K-car here)? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

i can fit 6 servers in the trunk of my IS250 thanks for asking.

your boss let you off early today from work ?

kia's are like big girls fun to ride but you dont brag about it.

Yea times have changed. But everyone has different tastes.

Lexus...whoa, playah!! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

6 whole servers. Impressive. :1orglaugh

sorry if my car only cost 5x more then yours and i dont even feel the need to start a gfy thread and brag about it.

keep pimping the 9-5 someday you might make!

Looks good :thumbsup

nothing against kia's i have friends that own them but its nothing to brag about kia's are great cheap cars.

Did you really get the sense he was 'bragging' with this thread? I sure didn't. I always avoid those attention whore threads. He went for practical, not pompus, and that was the joke IMHO.

And the fact that you don't need to start a thread about your Lexus is trumped by the fact that you do feel the need to talk shit to someone over THEIR car choice. I'm not here to start shit. It was just an observation from an innocent on-looker. Please proceed.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sorry if I don't give a fuck how much your ego-massaging, penis-on-wheels cost you.

You're mistaken if you think this a pissing match for you to share your misplaced faux superiority. :1orglaugh

Its about a good deal we got on a company vehicle.

Nothing more.

But hey - thanks for the thread bumps.

lol, seriously. i was a sales manager, finance manager and vehicle appraiser in the car business. I can tell you right now. There is no used Kia worth 8k

But to each there own and enjoy!

drove a pickup when I got into this business, I'll drive one when I get out, just a better one!

A Mini Van?

NP on the thread bumps i cant get into a pissing match with you anyways really its a kia i would have to go borrow something crappy enough to give you a shot :winkwink:

Same - had a 2000 Ford ef-one-fiddy when we started the biz.

:1orglaugh

How do you mean?

Very nice, I actually like the logo on the side.

Gay Car, Sell IT!

Silent Knight i have a funny story about your sites. Was dating a girl from Michigan that said she had a big secret she was afraid to tell me, she finally let it out and said she did some bondage porn once before. Turned me the hell on. I wanted to see pictures so she took me to your site. She had a pic on the tour and it was so fuckin hot to see a girl that I thought was a goodie goodie seconds ago and hadn't even slept with yet all up in bondage. Hadn't heard of your sites at the time but saw you on GFY a few months later. I swear I was seconds away from buying a membership just to see those pics, ha.

Only on GFY can you find an argument about why a Lexus is more practicle as a production company vehicle over a minivan.

:helpme

So many dimwits-so little time.

Good choice for wheels, SK.

Hmm, interestin' story.

I fairly sure I know who it was. Drop me an email - sltknt @ cogeco.ca (and see if I'm right).

i think he is saying you overpaid

lol

:1orglaugh @ "I think..."

what no tag....what state are you in.....must rereg vech there......:thumbsup

Car prices like everything else are inflated in Canada, because our dollar is less, and because we're suckers who don't mind paying 35% more for everything.

He's in a state in the north. ;)

Congrats on the cars! I'm sure they'll work out great!

Thanks. :)

The problem with dimwits (as you call'em) - is they have no clue or concept about our business end and why a minivan is advantageous for a production company.

Aside from shuttling large props from the workshop to the studio - its ideal for hauling gear and people to on-location photoshoots (which we tend to do a lot of). Lighting, umbrella reflectors, cameras/tripods, wardrobe, makeup kits, smaller props, etc.

And bonus - the tinted windows give models privacy for on-location wardrobe changes.

But "dimwits" who only require a trunk to stick "5 servers" into don't think for a moment about things like that. To them, everyone else's needs and situation is perceived and judged by their own little world. So they spew shit without thought - just to be hateful.

Amusingly, here locally we have two photographers who are recognized by the Canadian government as accredited master photographers, Preston Haskell and Paul Mitchell. Oddly, both use company minivans (and both advertise their companies with van graphics).

We're not out there making a bling/status/fashion statement with a van. Its simply practical.

The haters can hate. That's fine - I think its amusingly ridiculous. But I have to wonder one thing ... what would a potential customer of theirs on GFY think about their business sense after reading this thread? :1orglaugh

True that - in comparison to U.S. prices Canada is significantly higher, both new and used...unfortunately.

We don't have states in Canada.

And the vehicle tags were PS'ed out. :)

Provinces and territories yes I am aware of that......just assumed you were from the states....

Naw, I'm from the winning side of 1812. :winkwink:
