I drive a different car I can't afford almost everyday

Of course you're probably wondering how my title could possibly be true, and the answer is simple...

I transport cars for an auto-broker, who is also my dad. There's not really much to explain about his operations, but heres the cliffnotes:

  • He buys cars from the various auto auctions around the nation and has them freighted to his lot.
  • The cars are detailed and minor mechanical work may be done as well.
  • The cars are then sold at various nearby auto auctions.

The last step is where I come in. It is more economical to just drive a car a short distance to auction and uber or lyft back than it is to load it up on a truck and have them take it twenty miles away. So as a job, I drive various cars to auction and uber back and do it again. I often end up driving as many as 15 unique cars in a week.

I have some good fun driving these cars, most of the vehicles my dad deals with are pretty nice model cars 2010 and newer although I do get in the occasional 2008 whatever that is polished beyond belief.

Sometimes I drive things I probably rather wouldn't

like this big ass van

Sometimes I see some shit I've NEVER seen elsewhere



Like these flaps on the seat-pouches in this truck which I dubbed 'gucci seats' in the moment

...and sometimes I get to drive something extra neato like a corvette :p


im in a corvette muthafucka
Not bad...

If my fellow steemers appreciate this post, I might make this a regular thing like a 'neatest x cars of this week' or something similar.

P.S. we have a big swarm of minnows here helping each other grow... #minnowsUnite

Sort:  

my dad was a repo guy and he always brought home cool cars.

Cool. I worked at a car lot when I first got my license, and they would let me pick out any car to drive on my lunch break, or when they needed me to run errands. A good way to sample a variety of cars to see the different styles, features, etc.

hey des - good to see you having a good time a work. Followed you as I now use this account primarily! ah maybe I'll poke back into the minnow channel asap

always good to have more minnows in the school :)

As a car enthusiast I can only envy you !

The job certainly has its moments :)

Sweet job!I am a big gear head, so I envy you.

I have a car hauling business myself. That's cool you are able to drive them. I haul them with a duramax and an enclosed car trailer. minnowsUnite I didn't know about that tag but I now support it.

yeah I'm pretty lucky to get to drive them :)

especially since most people in transport are just loading the vehicles onto trucks and driving them away like you are.

Great post! #minnowsunite lets gather the cluster off minnows and make this post on the trending section!

That would be awesome to see myself in trending :p

I do my part and spread the upvote love to the other minnows

Definitely jealous. Still waiting for that complementary upgrade to premium for my rental on work trips.
