If you work for any of the car companies such as
GM, Ford, etc, please disregard. The same goes for
salesman.

I am doing researching if there are any companies that
dictate what kind of car you drive to work. I along with
several other people use to work for MCI and a couple of
us got a lecture on what kind of car we should drive as
opposed to what we had. One guy had an old Suburban
and a Sr. Mgr. told him to park way out. I use to have a
1990 Mustang GT and was chewed out for driving a "redneck"
car and it looked bad on the company (not a yuppie car).

A number of years back, the father of one of my friends
worked for a company that had a regulation on what kind
of car they could drive to work. A memo was put out that
only people in executive positions can drive a car like
BMW, Saab, Porsche, Lincoln and Cadillac.

Is this more common that we think or is it still rare?
