What if the best set of wheels you can afford on your junior executive salary is decidedly second-best or, worse, third-rate? And you believe the “correct” car not only demonstrates but also accelerates your career success. Your ride can also help you climb the social ladder, network successfully with your peers and attract attractive colleagues. Yes, the automobile is an almighty device for the average salaryman in Singapore.To make your little runabout run a little faster in the rat race you’re caught up in, you need to work on two things: the car, of course, and the driver.
The trick is to accessorise appropriately. This is not about deception per se. It’s more about having a “rich” imagination – your own, and that of the people you’re trying to impress in the office. You’re not suppressing the truth about yourself the motorist and your motorcar – just stretching it for your own benefit and career development.
