All they do is talk about their kids and updates to their houses and blah blah all day.

Having a kid at 47 was the best thing that has ever happened to me(getting married was a close 1st.) God I love that little 22 month old, and he loves cars. According to him I drive a Gtoe and a Cadlak and he loves his toy

I respect that. You waited til you were ready and had your fun.

When I got mine I parked it right outside my boss's window and told him to look outside... he said "DAMN YOU!!!!"... the same week I got mine, he had just sold his Mustang GT to get a new "family mobile". Who's the boss now? LOL

Boss stories.... Have I got a good one.
I'm 99.9% sure that my last boss is the one who did a hit and run sideswipe of my car in a parking lot.
I was in a shopping center near her home, she knows what my car looks like, and we hadn't been getting along - to say the least. She drives a company car, so no skin off her nose if it needs repairs, or if the insurance goes up. I jokingly (trying to ease the pain and not vomit) said I thought she did it.... A few days later, as she's chewing me out for not doing something by a deadline, and I tell her I took that day off to follow up on the hit and run, she claims she doesn't know I took the day off - I verified it with the scheduler, she knew. Then, she says "What color was the car that hit you?" - AS HER FIRST QUESTION. Not how much damage, or did anyone see it, or where were you.... RED flag!!! I quit that day, about 10 minutes later... Then, when I went to retrieve something I left behind, about a week later, she says (in a very snarky tone) "So... get your car fixed yet??", with a sh!t-eating grin on her face. On my way out, I stopped by her car, jotted down the license plate and the VIN, and called my insurance. They thought it was fishy as well, and sent a letter to the registered owner (a fleet leasing company) demanding the car be brought in for inspection. I'm sure the corporate offices lawyered up and she never had to bring the car in, but I'm satisfied knowing that HER boss looked at her sideways and said "What the he!! did you do???"
That's my boss story....

My current boss loves my car, and asks me to show pictures to all the other bosses whenever we have meetings.

He likes my car. It didn't hurt that yellow and black happen to be the company colors.

Here's his most recent purchase from Barrett-Jackson, at a mere $240k. Awesome car (1969 Ring Brothers Razor):

Don't tell me that you work for BEST BUYS , do you .

My boss lady couldn't give a crap about my Camaro. I get mocked for grabbing a 'one dinger' every day and being 'that guy' who never drives anyone at lunch! (I paid my dues when I had a 7 seater Jeep Commander Limited!).

She drives a 1998 Toyota RAV4...

My boss drives a Camry... only other car guy at work is our Maintenance Manager who just bought a new Grand Sport Vette
