Another stupid quessing contest!
by HOTRODSRJ
Posted: 08/10/2002 22:03 EST

Okay, the first one was great fun. Now I have more to give away. Actually, a pause for commercial break... you can thank the guys at the Balkamp Headquarters (owned wholly by NAPA who is owned by GPC) in Indianapolis for these tool kits. They are great people and are focusing more in the high performance/light truck/sport compact markets. I am doing marketing research for them as a consultant.

Anywho, the next question in the survey was about ownership of autos. Now, give this one some real thought because I think you can eliminate alot of the numbers if you put your thinking cap on. I initially came within 3 points myself before the survey but I have done similar ones before tainting my answers.

So, again using 168 surveys, what is the percentage that owned trucks. (these are considered light trucks, not over the road trucks but pickups, Suvs and vans.

Two days ....same rules. Only one guess per day tho. If not a winner then, then a second quess is allowed!

Ready......Get set......wait...no I mean Gooooooo!

If yur gonna ask about "pickup truck" numbers, you might have to be a bit more specific about the part of the country these numbers apply. I say that 'cause here in Texas, the "Country Cadillac" is King regardless of the make. Around here the trucks would be close to 50% of all vehicles on the road. Sooooo, my "guess" would be right at 50%. And I'm sticking to it as I'm one of them!! lol
