                                        - 6 -                                         
          Service Corp. and one payment to “Dents & Dings”,5 we are                   
          satisfied with petitioner’s showing and hold that petitioner is             
          entitled to the claimed business expense deductions for 2003.               
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                                   Decision will be entered           
                                              under Rule 155.                         





















               5Petitioner labeled these payments “company car” but                   
          provided no further evidence.  We infer from the Saab Financial             
          Services Corp.’s statements that petitioner has been making                 
          payments on the automobile for some time before the taxable year            
          in issue and had numerous payments remaining.  The combination of           
          the statements from Saab and the repair slip from Dents & Dings             
          suggests that petitioner’s automobile is for his personal use.              
          Petitioner may not deduct personal expenses.  See sec. 262(a).
