Yes I believe you are making this up. Nobody can dictate what car you can
drive in the company. Heck I have better cars than the executives in my
company and they are paid for. I have a1998 MB Ml320 and a1997 MB E420. And
they do not tell me that only executives can drive such a car. That is
preposterous. Unbelievable!
