My parents were not car people, but both worked for GM at points in their career. My mom being a nurse in the Oshawa plant and my father an executive at GM Canada. He would get a new company car every 5,000 kms which was basically every couple months with regular trips to Detroit.

He would get whatever he wanted which was usually an Olds ‘98, Caddy or if he wanted something fun for a bit he’d order an IROC-Z. The only car that was off limits was the Vette, but he could get his hands on one for a weekend if he wanted.

To him a car is an appliance, when he left GM to get into consulting, specializing in the auto industry, he did a lot of work with Ford, Honda and Toyota, but still would buy an ‘appliance’ and drive it into the ground.

They currently drive a 2021 Honda Pilot
The thing is huge, but works for them being in their 80s and 6’5” and 6’1”
