Har! In that sense, HP in a truck is like MPs in a modern photo camera.
Recently, my wife went to lunch with her colleagues in one of the colleagues' new truck. The truck owner was very proud of the truck, showing the huge number of cup holders. The rest of the crowd (also quite technical) was discussing that feature for some time with noticeable enthusiasm. My wife pointed out that it was funny that trucks sell by the number of cup holders, and not on their "powerful/workhorse" features. Of course, in TX, more often than not, a truck is more of a fashion statement than a workhorse.
