Com 4 is usually pretty boring. Com 2 is lots of fun but you don't get to see the action in the peloton when you are following the break. Media cars are ok, but photo-motos are a hoot.

Media cars are a great vantage point, but the ones that I've been in have been painfully silent. There's no banter. It's pretty bidness-like.
I was VIP driver in Missouri last year. Now THAT is a great job. It's fun taking the sponsors/spectators out of the VIP tent and onto the course to let them experience the race. They become like little kids on Xmas eve. It's awesome.

Bummer- guess it depends on who you're with! We have a great crew in Oregon- Heidi Swift, Pat Malach, Matt Karre- lot's of fun.
That's an important job... keep the sponsors happy.
ES- what exactly do you do?
