He's had automotive gigs at Chrysler, Ford and Nissan, he's worked as a stand-up comedian, he spent time at Compuware and he even spent time at the food rescue program Forgotten Harvest. We've even spotted Vines (seen here at left, with comedian David Spade) regularly hanging with John McElroy on <em>Autoline After Hours. </em><br /><br />The likable master of spin has reportedly found yet another calling, as he's been named the Vice President of public relations and communications at Zondervan; a Christian publishing division of HarperCollins out of Grand Rapids, MI. The move is a bit of a surprise, considering the fact that Vines' outspoken personality (some would call him outspoken, others crass) doesn't exactly jibe with the conservative nature of most Christian organizations. Vines' new job shows that really talented people tend to find work even in a down market.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090708/ANA02/907089989/1178&amp;AssignSessionID=373359650826000">Automotive News</a> - subs req'd | Image: Bill Pugliano/Getty]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/09/ex-chrysler-media-man-vines-named-head-of-christian-publishin/">Ex-Chrysler media man Vines named head of P.R. at...
