I went to visit my union local today about some insurance stuff and in the reserved parking area I spot a what looks like a MM,at first I thought I was mistaken as our union reps and officers all drive black GM's,looked again and it was a MM,it needed a bath real bad though. I went upstairs and took care of my business and asked if my rep was around,but he'd just left. I was gonna ask him if he knew who had the MM. A guy walked up to the door and unlocked it to go in so I asked him if he knew whose it was,turns out he's the Local's Sec'y/Treasurer and it's his company car. Union officials are allotted the price of a GM for a company car,he'd gone to the Chicago Auto Show,and caught a deal on it for the same price as a GM would've gone,after a test drive he took it. It's a 300A,and now has 6800 miles on it. I gave him our site address and told him all about us,maybe he'll drop in here. I also got "first dibs" on it when they sell it,it's not a lease,the local owns it. Oil changes are at every 3000 miles,brakes done every 30,000 miles,and all other maintainance at severe conditions intervals&all work is done by the dealer. Now I've got to wait 2 or 3 years for it to get 100,000 miles on it and I'll have a new "beater". No warranty worries then about mods.
