Well, the pickup is for workinā€™ and haulinā€™ and winter drivinā€™ plus a little 4-wheel fun. My actual daily driver is even more mundane, itā€™s a Chevy Impala. Plus the pickup is over 15 years old. Not much high falutinā€™ stuff in my garage. The newest vehicle I own is my John Deere riding lawn mower that I bought last year. I hope thatā€™s not too high and mighty for you. šŸ˜‰ ---
