I am not convinced. Yes, the regulations are a factor, but ego is also a factor. See also Giraffe Necks.

i heard some lady in the south say she wouldn't date a guy who didn't have a truck, those are the social forces putting pressure on a certain type of man to buy a truck. It truly is a macho thing.

And I wouldn’t date a woman who judges me based on the kind of vehicle I drive. Oh well, I’m sure she’s a real winner.

You shouldn't judge people from a single data point. She might in fact be a real winner. She just likes guys with trucks.
