▸ station wagons
▸ vans
▸ trucks
▸ passenger trucks
▸ full-sized trucks
▸ Utility vehicles

11. PHYSICAL OBJECTS TEND TO BE GIVEN ONLY ONE CATEGORY
▸ This is because things can only be physically placed in one
place at a time.
▸ So, vinyl records in a shop can only be placed into one
section.
▸ This means that cross-genre bands have a forced choice,
they MUST be either hip hop or EDM, not both.
