John,
   This is so wierd.  I don't think you and I share a single opinion.
And this includes your interpretation of what Janice said.  Her second
sentence explicitly says that she doesn't care so much about money,
its the personal appearance (read: image) that is being projected.  It
is about the kind of people that drive trucks, not about the kind of
people that have money.
