Different strokes for different folks. Don't be so hasty to judge.
Whyever not? You are - hasty to judge, that is.

Now about those requirements... One of those shiny new trucks might cost say $30K (more, with the interest on the loans most of their buyers have to take out). So my $2800 Toyota can do anything the new truck can, I don't worry about scratching it or getting the bed dirty, and - remember we were discussing house payments? - I can make my house payments for over two years on what they spent on the fancy truck. So assuming similar income &c, which one of us is going to be the first to lose his house and go looking for a taxpayer-funded bailout?
