Mobile Office SUV is probably not justifiable
With the economy in the state it is and it being Earth Day, it seems like the perfect time to show off this Mobile Office SUV, possibly the most offensive vehicle on the roads today. It's a custom-build SUV limo build on a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes GL, Lincoln Navigator, Infiniti QX56 or Ford Expedition. So you know it's expensive to begin with. But then you add the office part.
It's stuffed full of gear like computers, stereos, TVs, desks with captains chairs, and of course the usual limo stuff like an ice chest and glass holder for your expensive scotch. It's the perfect way to get around if you're rich and hate people who aren't rich and want them to know it. The pricing is only available on request, so you know it's insanely expensive. Spoiler: it isn't worth it.

Why do rich people have to hate people who aren't? And why is this any more irritating then a rock star/celebrity rolling around the country in a tour bus? I am not sure who this offends directly but it give me something to aim at, a goal to reach. Mind you I would rather retrofit an old Peterbilt with an extended sleeper cab, paint it black and have Gale Banks do the engine mods but that is just me.

"The most offensive vehicle on the road today?" Please.. Do you think Hummers serve a more practical function.
You make it sound like a crime to be successful. Why would you look down on executives who want to be more productive with their time? These vehicles start at $89,000 (It's no big secret). They require a driver so this adds to employment opportunities for some. They are available in BioDiesel and get great mileage so your "Earth Day "reference is mindless and opportunistic at best.
It is easy to bash the rich when you do not have to sign this comment.
I'll bet you drive a foreign car and your happy this country is headed toward socialism. Then you can share in the success of others without having to work for your own.

this vehicle looks very nice and useful for a business person. I do not understand why the author of this article is so harsh with this beautiful car. I always wish i could do some work in my own car!the new Mercedes i have is more expensive than this car I think but the Mercedes does not have the office inside.
