The pickup truck is a bad question because down here they are status symbols of wealth and masculinity.


Well in certain corners of the US, having a leather couch is also a status symbol. I think the point of that type of question is to gauge "working class." If you have the extra money, you don't pull your boat around. You just get it docked. There would be no other need for a truck because presumably you aren't doing any labor requiring a truck. There are certain status symbols that translate across societies, irrespective of geography. A castle/mansion is one such symbol. Ferraris and private planes also qualify. The fact that something may be a status symbol limited to your region, probably says more about your region than anything else.

You probably scored less than a 10. Even if you use a marina, you'll be moving your boat.
