Explain why white collar people buy pickups

[PaddyShack]

Pete, Midtowner is correct. Many of the lawyers and doctors I know drive large trucks specifically for the tax rebate. In many circles this is known as the "Hummer Deduction" and it's very much part of the equation. Every solo lawyer I know is cashing in on this deduction with a large truck or a very large SUV.

But it's not like this is a net gain in cash, the choice to do this is still an image thing. "I got to have the big vehicle with the biggest bling, even though my bottom line would be better served if I bought the modest sedan that fits my means..."

And, you could still buy an SUV rather than a pickup.
