This one isn't directly about cars, but it does go some way to explaining the mentality of people that buy giant trucks that have never been used for any sort of work. That is, people who live in cities but identify as "rural" people.

There's an investment office around the corner from me. Financial planners. Men with soft hands. Every one of them drives a large truck with a lift kit. Each one tries to out-do the others every truck they buy. These trucks never see a day of actual work.
