The really sad part is if we would have gotten a guzzler we could have taken the 3 ton work vehicle deduction no problem.

Ohh well... At least I'm not stuck with a guzzler at the pump every month. Heck I think I think I've already saved the 1.5k tax credit on the Prius in gas alone this year.

So the lesson here kids is that the IRS is really hoping I leave my wife and buy a Chevy Tahoe. I begin to understand why all these CEO's are such despicable people. In order to save their company from crippling tax burdens they are enticed to do horrible things. Perhaps they need an Honesty and Morality tax credit. I would hope I could qualify for that rather readily.
