    About this ebook

    A humorous short story about a woman CEO who confides in a young reporter telling her how she has managed her relationships with men through her life. Meet Sherry McPherson and her unique style. For her, men are like cars. From the utilitarian, compact vehicles you purchase when you are at college, to the European monsters you get when you're at the top, the men a successful woman picks during her career much resemble her car.

      About Mariana Reuter

      Men Are Like Cars

      I work as college newspaper reporter; it’s one of my many jobs—a girl needs to pay for college. As such, I’ve had the opportunity to interview some very interesting people who have visited our campus. Months ago, for example, I interviewed Vice-President Biden… of Stranford’s Alpha-Phi Fraternity.

      Last week, Avom Cosmetic CEO Sherry McPherson spoke before my college fraternities on the topic Women as CEOs in American Corporations. After thunderous applause and lunch with the rector and the deans, Ms
