You could always smash the window, hot wire the vx and pretend you just stole it and drove it to the office... (donut in the car park for extra effect - and burn the tyres out till they explode)

That should give an impression that you're 'quite a common little council estate kid', you're after.

I'd prefer to turn up in a Vx220 than a 106 gti with loud exhaust. I used to hate going to work with my car, people used to just go 'haha boy racer' etc. c*nts

I used to be embarrassed turning up to work in my Corsa when I 1st started working where I am now... just grew out of it. Quite a well respected company and there was me turning up in my Corsa rolling on 17z

Personally i wouldnt worry. I get laughed at wherever i turn up in mine, as people think its worth about 6 grand and just laugh at it.

Then people who know what it is appreciate it. Just ignore them and laugh with them

Working for fun should be an everyday thing, I bet it is rubbish having a job you don't like.

I think youve got nothing to worry about, just say its one of your hobbies and thats what you enjoy spending your money on,

If I ever employ anybody with a flash car or nice clothes/jewellry I just think that they're more motivated in life and don't waste their wages on booze and mars bars. They would think your a smart chap if they have any sense.

Why on earth would people think you're a stuck up rich boy driving a VX?

Your head must be rather large.

if anything people will just think you have a nice car on credit.

also your really thinking to much about it, if you worked for it and paid for the car then enjoy it, if you did get it cos your a spoiled daddys boy then you have no reason to complain if people think this of you lol.
