The weight - that's a clue. There was a stupid deduction for big trucks -
not sure if it was phased out. The law was purchased by the auto

Just got back from the tax lady. IRS Section 179 governs this, and it is
in full force and effect. It is not a new law, either. Of these things I
am "sure."

OK. I'm vague on this, but there was chatter about changing the tax law,
eliminating vehicles which are clearly recreational, only purchased by
neurosurgeons for their children. Like Hummers. It was the subject of lots
of buzz last year, when gas prices were ramping up.
