What would you do?

[Liquidforce88]

With gas prices being the way they are, and projected to go as high as $5.00. Many installers are feeling the pain from the pump. What would you customers do if you had a tech roll up in something like this?

Now I know this pic is not very good. But just imagine a decent looking vehicle with Dish Network logo's. Ladders on the rack. This would get 40MPG.

With a couple slight modifications, I'm pretty sure we would be able to time travel (provided it can get up to 88 in the first place )

It's no Delorean, but it'll do.

Also, those epic flames would need to stay.

Don't forget the 1.21 jigawatts!

I voted "Just laugh and let them do their job."

lol.

as long as it has a better paint job and a logo, i don't see any problem with it. the pic you posted makes the car look like it hasn't been washed in a while

 

[TonyT@DISH Network]

It can't be washed.. It might fall apart.

Where Yugo, I go, and its time to Fiesta.

Judging by the grill design (no louvres), its gotta be an late 80s-early 90s model. It would work, but that 3 cylinder engine in anything but new condition is likely leaking past the rings, and dumping more pollutants into the air (familiar with the car). I would not say environmental concern and that car go hand in hand....The roof rack looks hot though!

looks more like the DIRT team! Out of respect for maryb, I'll let you all decide who is who.

"I love you, man! No really, I love you!"

"Thank you."

And BTW, why does the DIRT team have a Fiesta?

since DIRT involves a "SPEEDY"Gonzales! is this a trick question?

does not matter what they drive, what matters is if the job is done as it should be

On of our local installers drives a 2009 hummer and although it looks neat, I know he is loosing money ever time he starts that thing.
So I don't give him good marks for being frugal or a good money maker and it would raise concerns about if he's cutting corners on an instal just to make a little money.
But if I saw that pull up?
As long as the installer looked professional and competent, I wouldn't have a problem.

I think it would be fine for them to drive a Justy Festiva or any other gas saver.As long as they get the job done right who cares what they drive.

In Europe you see a lot of this type of vehicle for commercial applications:

I don't know for sure, but I think these things get similar mileage and have a bit more professional look.

 

[navychop]

That VW "Caddy" looks a lot like the Ford Transit.

 

[Anony55]

Choices 2 & 3 are pretty much the same. If you add them together, it looks like an installer would be fine driving something like that.

I gave up on caring much about what people drive a long time ago. These days, I agree a lot more with Dave Ramsey about the "paid off mortgage" being the new status symbol. If that's what the installer wanted to drive... more power to him.

Cheers

It's a lot smaller than a transit.

I wouldn't care what they drove as long as the install/fix my system correctly.
