People with trucks arrange their lives with the expectation they can immediately move large objects. The rest of us only move large objects a few times a year and borrow our friends' and families' trucks, and they resent us for it.

No resentment here. If couldn't have afforded the ~$45K for the truck, and the few thousand dollars per year for gas and insurance, I wouldn't have bought it.

I don't get people. I don't own the truck for social signaling, I own it as a tool, just like my welding gear, my CNC mill, and my laser sintering 3D printer.
