I grew up in FL, so they are snowmobiles. No one around here in WA knows what I’m talking about!So where does her family stand on "snowmobile" vs "snowmachine"?

Well, my brother asked me just two days ago "Why are you getting a Bronco? Why don't you get a truck instead?" So...um k. The rest of us on planet earth would call it a truck. What does your registration type say ? Utility perhaps?
I get your point about accentuating the positive. And I hate to introduce "DAMN" statics, but:I remember a time when Bronco/Blazer/Wrangler enthusiasts' most important concern was...
I'll be referring to my future Bronco as a "truck" or "rig". Possibly "Truck-Rig".My wife is a farm girl, her family won't even allow you to call a pick up a truck. A car is a car, a pick up is a pick up , a truck is a 2 ton plus hauling machine and ( even to me) a Jeep, Scout or Bronco is a Jeep Scout or Bronco. The term SUV has been so bastardized that it means nothing, or at best, an AWD station wagon.
Bitching about other people bitching. Classic!!
Like I said, my wife's family is in the " a pick up is not a truck" camp, not me. But I don't call a SUV a truck...but it doesn't offend me if someone does.some one used the wrong term
EXACTLY! It is hard to find a true base model anymore. Ram does a great job on that with its Tradesman trim with vinyl seats and rubber floors and no chrome, and the Bronco Base is a GREAT offering that is actually quite nice and full of features. Style-wise, I love SIMPLE, but few auto makers make that anymore.I get your point about accentuating the positive. And I hate to introduce "DAMN" statics, but:
1970 median (half above; half below) family income @$10,000. Avg vehicle price, $3,542
2020 median family income @$78,500. Avg vehicle price, $37,851
Vehicles have grown pricier...from 35% of income to 48%. People are more demanding
I think they say snowmobile, I say snowmachine, but I guess I don't really noticeSo where does her family stand on "snowmobile" vs "snowmachine"?
oh I definitely agree with that, although different values and percentages for each location.I get your point about accentuating the positive. And I hate to introduce "DAMN" statics, but:

so maybe your original post could have been “my wife’s family doesn’t...”Like I said, my wife's family is in the " a pick up is not a truck" camp, not me. But I don't call a SUV a truck...but it doesn't offend me if someone does.
