> [@](#): > > I’ve lived in the South my whole life. We’ve got plenty of pickup drivers here (like me!), but no Jewish folks. Therefore I conclude that Jews don’t drive pickups, because they don’t really exist! They’re the ones with the horns. Or so I was told as a child in the South (“You can’t be Jewish, you don’t have horns.”) ---

> [@Telemark](#): > > You’re limiting your observations of Jews to observant Jews that drive pickup trucks to services. They may have a second car that’s more comfortable for driving while dressed up for temple. Or they take several people to temple and it’s harder to fit them in a pickup. Pshaww, having grown up in Texas I know for a FACT you can fit more people in the back of a pickup than you can inside one of them fancy sedans. 😃 FWIW, my dad is Jewish, and drives a Pontiac Grand Am, although previous vehicles have included a station wagon and something sporty and small that got wrapped around something in the 80’s when my dad got cut off by someone on the highway (hence why he switched to the station wagon, which was more akin to a tank than a sports car) (So, anybody else miss the Jewish smiley?) ---
