Default pickup earning its keep

Went down the valley the last two days to do some work on my mates sawmill,a 53 mile trip each way.
the pickup bought a load of hardwood bearers back for my project.

I got some smiles when I loaded up a bunch of cabinets at Home Depot a while back.

I see it was raining. I catch hell from non- T and A owners when my cars get rained on but I always tell them this car (or truck) was getting wet before I was born.

While not as tough as a pickup, my '28 phaeton also earns its keep. I love using my A for everyday stuff.
