Which suggests that it is not a “utility-only” vehicle.
But isn’t that sort of the point of this thread.
The OP wasn’t criticizing Brown simply for owning a pick-up. He was criticizing the fact that Brown did, indeed, use the truck to “put on some odd illusion that [he’s] someone [he’s] not.” He campaigned in the damn thing, and used it as evidence of his everyman credentials. And the media, of course, being dumb fucks happy to buy into this sort of bullshit, lapped it up.
If Brown were indeed everyman, America would be in much better shape than it is, considering that he and his wife own, according to his Wiki entry, “a 3,000-square-foot primary home, a 2,000-square foot summer home in Rye, New Hampshire, three condos in Boston, and a timeshare on the Caribbean island of Aruba”

Well, maybe they’re all really old and beat-up.
Huh, has anybody seen Robot Arm? He certainly doesn’t appear anywhere in this thread.
No such person.
“Anymore” ?
aren’t horses a means of transportation? what kind of a father drives his lazy fucking horse and his hot, young, single, daughters around?
Were their ties clip-ons?
Owning a horse makes you an elitist cocksucker?:dubious:
Not necessarily, but it certainly makes it easier to suck horse cock.
Prancing around to “equestrian” events does. At least as much as owning a pickup truck and six homes makes you an"everyman."
No – just ordinary ties.
Wrong. At least if you’re assuming that anyone who shows (or even owns) horses is automatically a rich-bitch elitist snob. The teenage girls at one barn where I boarded my horse did barn chores to earn lessons, scraped together pennies to amass enough to buy low-end or even second-hand show gear and pay entry fees for little local shows, trained and competed on less than magnificent schoolies, and often did as well as the kids who did have parents that could underwrite their hobby, because they were dedicated and worked their hearts out.
Owning horses, when you do the work yourself, involves large measures of dirty, smelly, backbreaking work. (I should know; I feed and water and muck every damn day, and I’ve got to go now and do evening chores.) It’s quite possible that the Brown daughter keeps her horse(s) in a high-end barn where all the work is done for her and she merely shows up to ride. It’s equally possible, based on my experience in a well-to-do suburb north of Boston, that she gets her hands dirty as an equestrian, simply from the love of horses and the satisfaction inherent for us horse nuts in doing even the dirtiest chores to take care of them.
I can’t stand Scott Brown, but don’t trash his daughter for being an equestrian when you know nothing about it.

Way to miss the point. Nowhere do you mention their cocksucking standards.
Some pickup-driving physicians also seem to be into the Everyman image.
There’s a neurosurgeon in Illinois who drove a pickup truck bearing a placard that read “Dr. Lyle Wacaser - Neurosurgery and Light Hauling”.
Gee, how did ANY work get done in the '50s when most pickups had six-cylinder engines that made around 100 net horsepower?
I love my pickup truck. And it makes me feel morally superior to those Prius driving hippies? What the hell is wrong with that?
Nothing. Sometimes I like to tie a towel around my neck and pretend I’m Superman, too!
Horses were hauled in two trips. Very messy.
