Seriously, what is the business justification for that vehicle?
Maybe some kind of write-off that only creative accountants know about?
Any accountant will tell you that most businesses can’t write off tax against a normal car, as it’s not a work vehicle, so they buy pickups because vans are impractical for normal use
It works different in NZ.
Short for utility vehicle. Basically anything with a cabin, and some sort of bed or tray at the back.
Austrian. A UTE is sedan frame with a truck bed on the back. This is not a UTE. It’s a truck.
Austrian? I think you mean Australian there mate! Trucks are much heavier, UTEs are what you Yankees call “trucks”. It’s a UTE because it’s a utility vehicle and used by tradies and farmers and the like.
Thanks, ditch buddy! The rest of the world has backwards terminology.
I think I’m too rightside-up to understand this Aussie meme
Kiwis are seething
This is, sadly, all too common in NZ.
Didn’t notice the .nz domain name I see
There is a purpose. It let’s us know they’re overcompensating for small penises.
I saw this picture and somehow instantly knew it was in New Zealand
There’s a lot of misunderstood masculinity out there.
Only thing I can figure is to have more space for that ad.
More record heatwaves next summer
Farms need accountants too, it also snows a lot on the south island in NZ so wanting a vehicle with 4 wheel drive isnt unreasonable.
But realistically the business justification for that vehicle is that I own a business and need a vehicle. You can have “the company Lambo” if you make enough money.
Seeing as he’s got a tow ball he probably has fun on the weekends.
I don’t know your tax laws, sorry. Ours say “my balls are attached to the bumper”
Ute Ute Ooteeney!
Maybe growing his ASSets
This post makes me want to get a ute, so I can enrage dweebs like you.
If you’re an accountant and you’re buying a ute just for looks, I’m afraid you’re the dweeb.
They’re buying them because they can be claimed as a “work vehicle”, but used like a family sedan.
It’s definitely for looks. In Nz you’re not limited the same for claiming as ‘work vehicle.’ I’ve driven Toyota Corollas and Mazda 6s as work vehicles which are better vehicles in terms of boot (trunk) size, so this is definitely a ‘look at my big car’ thing.
