In areas with more pickup trucks, the odds switched to 82 percent in favor of Republicans, the researchers concluded.

What my car shows is that I do not support the UAW.

In our drive are a Volvo and a Cadillac. Everyone in the family vote Republican and always have.

Volkswagens and Aston Martins were associated with white neighborhoods while Chryslers, Buicks and Oldsmobiles tended to appear in African-American neighborhoods, the study found.
We are a two Buick family. The older full-sized cars I prefer are also preferred by black men in these parts. I do vote Republican.
