Default Discuss: Ragan's car collection now includes UPS crown jewel

Ragan's car collection now includes UPS crown jewel - NASCAR.com
Last December, Ragan's dad, Ken, gave his son a Christmas/birthday gift that's become a crown jewel in Ragan's car collection: a 1938 UPS package delivery vehicle.

"It's pretty rare to have a vintage package car in this nice of condition," Ragan said proudly. "It's not a typical body style, it's really one of a kind. We get out, ride in it every now and then and like to show it off."

First thing that comes to my mind is:

did Ragan's dad just happen to have a 1938 PC sitting around the house?

Now, only if he would win races. If he was a package driver, he would be constantly be pulled into the office for being "over allowed".

The company doesn't care what is and isn't legal.
The company is above the laws that apply to everyone else. This applies to:
-overweight loads
-employment practices of hiring, retaining and promoting the various types of human beings
-blatant violations of a mutually agreed upon legal labor contract

.....need I continue?
