To be honest, a Mustang would be the perfect sales vehicle around here because it is so popular in these parts. I used to know a guy that would rent a car based on what part of the country he was selling in. He was very successful.

Ok, I can understand this to a point. However, that doesn't mean young T-rock needs to drop 15-20k on a vehicle. He can still get something reliable that will project an image of stability, without going into debt for it. Then, when he's saved up enough, he can trade in his stable car for a little bit newer stable car. I guess my "fuck image" sentiment was more about "there is no reason to go into debt to impress, even if you're in sales." Show that you're smart with your money and your decisions, be an honest person, and sell the right products to the right people.
