The car you drive says a lot about you. A minivan? You’re responsible, with a family, got some kids too, and they likely play soccer.
A hybrid? You’re into status, the environment, and telling people about your status and the environment.
A broken down 2000 Saturn with no heat, radio, horn, or turn signals? You write for Scene and are thankful you have a girlfriend of six years because it’d be impossible to get a date if you were currently single.
The PD’s done the voting public a favor and found out what the candidates for County Executive are driving these days. No real surprises, but interesting nonetheless, especially Ken Lanci’s expensive wheels.
This article appears in Oct 27 – Nov 2, 2010.
1. As a former employee of Mr. Lanci, I can tell you that the car doesn’t match the man. He is a good person, always treated me fairly and always had kind things to say. He’s also worked hard to get where he is and I don’t see the problem with him splurging on something like the car (which is veryyyyyyyy nice, a visual wet dream.) The car may be seen as someone who’s “flashy” but the man who drives it is a lot more “like us” than you would care to believe.
2. I drive a 1999 Saturn that sounds like I should be a Scene writer, too.
Evidently the man knows how to make money and enjoy life, No wonder he’s willing to take on the job for a $1 salary. He’s not a rethuglican or a dumbasscrat and that’s why I’m voting for him.I understand he was also a weight lifter, that shows me he’s very self determined to take care of himself. Here’s your chance Cleveland, don’t mess it up. Someone who’s as successful as he is deserves a shot at this for the good of the county.
Greatest Will Ferrel clip ever.
My mom worked for Ken years ago, and he actually bought HER a car. He was always a very nice man, and a fair boss.
Ken Lanci is one of the most real down to earth people I’ve ever known – he’s a straight shooter, & that’s pretty hard to find these days – particularly in the arena of politics. I know of some personal difficulties that Ken’s faced and overcome with amazing courage and determination – those are the qualities that define a person, not the kind of car he drives. He has impeccable taste – his home is extraordinary, too – does good taste, and a lifetime of working to be able to enjoy some og the better things in life – make him a bad person, or are your comments indicative of your own jealousy? I’ve known & worked with Ken for years- he’s a good man through and through, and I’ve never felt like he in any way felt he was “better than” or superior to me – or anyone else. He’s a class act all the way – why shouldn’t his personal spaces reflect that?
