How can you not know whether the car you are driving in is a diesel or petrol?

Ok even if you can't here the engine you can still tell by how the power is deliered.




1. this was months ago
2. I drive hundreds of cars every day therefore kinda hard to remember

Yes it is quite possible for me to be driving loads of different cars in the one day seen as I work for a rental car company

Hundreds though? How many is hundreds?

No one drives hundreds of cars in a day,

you probably move them which takes seconds. Where as the Astra you must've drove on the road to use 3/4's of a tank

I'd have the Passat. I had a Jetta as a courtesy car and it was a lovely car to drive. I'd have one if I was 40.

even working for a rental car company, they all have the same models and spec. for you to drive hundreds of cars a day as you say, based on a 9 hour shift, you would need to be driving a different car roughly every 3.5 minutes

Also maybe i dont drive HUNDREDS of cars a day but fuck sake its just an expression..... ok i drive too many cars in one day to remember what that car is months down the line........... BETTER?

also say i worked this 9 hour shift you speak of and drove a new car every 3 and a half minutes, that would be 154 cars that day...... why did you pick that number eh? why? why? why?

becasue you said hundredS.

by saying hundreds, it implies not 100, but multiples of 100, so like 200, or 300.

i worked in fleet car sales, and i was in multiple different cars every day, at a push, id probably say i sat in 15-20 different cars everyday.

but its cool man

Touareg. Just so you can bully people.

Basically the same as a Cayenne underneath too.

how is 15-20 cars a day not busy? when delivering cars to customers 5 miles away, taking say 20 minutes for each journey, it adds up to not a lot of cars.

even driving 60 cars today as you say, what are you actually doing. driving them around the work car park or something?
