The JetVan Shields the Wealthy from the Prying Eyes of the 99%

— November 24, 2011 — Autos
With the eyes of the world drawn to the alarming disparity in global wealth and income, it's become difficult for the captains of industry to flaunt their fortunes without scrutiny, and the JetVan gives them a way out.

The astronomical luxury of investment bankers and corporate executives has led to a cultural rift atwixt the so-called 99% and the ostentatious 1%, and the former demands some compensation. In the hopes of avoiding a bloody uprising, Becker Automotive has teamed up with Mercedes-Benz to ensure the privacy of the wealthy and the discretion of their wealth. Named for the unimaginable comfort of private airplanes, the JetVan is an innocuous truck on the outside and an opulent lounge on the inside. Whereas a limousine immediately raises eyebrows, this black delivery truck will provide the amenities the 1% is used to without the unwanted attention.

Raise your champagne flutes, gentlemen, Becker Automotive has found a way for you to hold onto your inequitable treasures a little longer.
Trend Themes
