So International is getting back into the consumer business.
My parents used to drive the family around in an International Travall, an early version of the SUV every suburban housewife now requires to drive eggs home from the market.
I was embarrassed to be seen climbing into it in front of my junior high. Little did I know that my parents were uber-cool ahead of the trends.

What many people don't realize, is that recently the government has created a tax loophole for vehicles with a gross weight of over 3 tons.
That means all those Cayennes, Hummers, H2's, and REALLY REALLY big trucks are 100% deductable for business owners. That's right.
Ain't it grand.

Here's another interesting fact about those big SUV's.
They're actaully too heavy to travel on a lot of suburban roads and backstreets.
I'd love to see Johnny law pulling over Polly soccer mom for exceeding the posted weight limit on her street.

Funny story, I was returning from PIR with my dad the other day. We were in his suburban, and he must have done something to piss off this big boy (Literally overweight) in a geo metro, because he came swerving around us in a way I never thought a car could move before, got in front of us and slammed on his brakes. Had we hit him, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to even contemplate a lawsuit.
You gotta be pretty stupid to think a car that only weighs 1200 pounds can take a hit from a 4 ton car on the freeway.

Not necessarily...
A lot of people in Manhattan live in $2500 apartments.
They just can't afford any furniture to put in 'em.

Yup - and I'm seriously thinking about it!!!
I would get to write off all my trade maggy subscriptions (currently 6) and some fun ones (Vogue & InStyle), as well as my annual ISGB membership dues, and I believe my accountant's fees. Technically, I might even be able to write off a trip to New York for Fashion Week (yeah, I know - I just missed spring '05).

... as long as your business is generating enough income to write off the expenses.
Also don't forget you can write off a percentage of your rent if you use your home to do "office" stuff.
