Thank you so much for your reply Colin.

I believe you are spot on with your answer and what you suggest will 
work and is the correct solution.

For sake of my sanity though, is this solution more of a Rails 
convention or have I been getting standard database design confused in 
my head for a number of years? To my previous understanding I still see 
it as one vehicle has one vehicle_type. Almost like vehicle_type is a 
child table to the parent vehicle. Is this wrong thinking for all 
database design or just Rails conventions?
