The general culture is that a car/truck is to get you to the beach / boat / bach where you then do your surfing, hunting and fishing. Those all need wet / messy kit and you'll be covering the vehicle with roof racks and tow bars, so 'wasting' a good days fishing pimping a car is pointless. So that's at the 'show' end of things, but my take on life over here, admittedly based in Tauranga and time in Roto-vegas and Hamilton, is that it permeates down to the everyday too.
