Tax Season - Pimp my buggy
An interesting write-off...
Pimp my buggy This one was so outlandish that Dittrick actually faxed us the two-page itemized receipt to prove it: "We live in an Amish community here and we had an Amish guy who tried to take a deduction for his buggy with velvet interior, the whole works. It was tricked out. He was legitimately Amish, but with all the accoutrements on this buggy, when they're supposed to live the simple life, it was absolutely hilarious," she says. How pimped out was his ride? According to the receipt, this baby came equipped with dash lights, kick plates, tinted windshield, speedometer, hydraulic brakes and dimmer switches. The standard buggy costs $2,675; this pimped-out version ran $3,545. "He could deduct the buggy of course, since it was used for business, but on that one, we had to pick and choose what we were going to deduct," Dittrick says. "But the Amish teenagers do go through a period where they sow their wild oats, so to speak, and put the fuzzy dice and boom boxes in them. Every so often in the police blotters up here you'll see a complaint about a buggy with music playing." |

Just outside of Dover, DE there is a sizeable Amish (or similar) community. They actually run neon lights under those things, though only on certain nights (don't recall what rule that was). This was per a friend who lives walking distance from several of their farms.
Wild oats indeed!

I live 5 miles from our Amish community. I purchase many things from them. Most of the buggies I have seen are equipped with green velvet bench seats, hydraulic brakes and speedometer. I am not sure about the dash lights but I wouldn't doubt it.
