Money for nothing?

They pay you for commuting in your car.... You just have to wrap it in their advertising. Which also happens to protect your paint...

Probably not an option for those of you that love your commuters. Maybe a good way to pay for something to drive while your E38 is broken?

Or protection for the CTS-V if it leaves the garage?

I drive 400 miles a week in the Saturn...

Update, mentioned this to Amanda and she was fine with me doing that to her car. She even did some research and found some 'gotchas'

Car must be 2008 or newer ( wont have one of those for another ten years minimum!)

The App is for IOS only.. That's the real deal breaker. I can get a 2010 Mazda 3 for $3500 and it would pay for itself in under a year.

Example:

But I'm not carrying an Iphone.

Bill would say that car can't exist.

Also, you just need a work phone and bam, iPhone. Yes, you have to "carry" it...but at least you don't have to buy it.

Post needs more Dire Straits content. Make sure you watch for the part that's awesome. Which is all of it.

I am probably the biggest Apple Fanboy on this forum, but I also didn't buy my iPhone. Work pays for it and I don't care to carry two smartphones around with me so it's my only phone.

We use Good (ironically named) so the phone is actually usable as a personal except calls as still per minute so no personal calls. So I carry two.

Surely it’s just:

1. Own your own business.

2. Lease car.

3. Advertise your own biz on your own leased car.

4. Write off lease and cost of wrap.

5. Profit????

Who needs Wrapify in this model?
