NO, NO, it is a cultural thing on the correct coast. Ford has been traditionally considered the "breakfast of champions" on the correct coast. In the old days, if you could not afford a Chevy truck, you bought a Ford. This has changed. Now the "in" truck for the people demographically considered as "Hick Chic" (sic) is a Dodge truck (which to our European Luggers is a new and improved Mercedes). "Hick Chic" is a term coined in _American Demogaphics_ which describes a person living in a rural area, driving a pick-up, with a portable computer and cell phone in the truck (and of course with a Leica in what was the beer cooler) and earning about $50 K per year. The correct coast's idea of heaven. > >On 8/6/99 2:32 PM Mark Rabiner wrote: > >>You hated your Mother so bad you bought a Ford pick-up? >>Mark :-) Rabiner > Regards, Bill Larsen, demographer extraordinary and photographer mediocre.
