Yeah, I work for a small engineering firm, and a few of us, including the pres & VP are car enthusiasts. We don't drive our "good" cars for that very reason, customer impression. The Pres owns 3 classic Jags, plus an XKR, and the VP owns a SL 55 and a NSX. In fact my boss went off when I bought a (used) Cadillac XLR, till I pointed out it cost me less than a new Camry. Anyhow, we keep our good cars at home except for an occasional Friday when we know no customers will be by. It's silly, but it happens.
On the flip side, when I was looking for a contractor I looked at what they drove - they better be driving American! Turns out the best price, and quality of work was from the guy driving a Chevy truck.
