    Wow, Biologists get to ride with a lot more style than they did in my dad's day. (He drove a '76 VW bus. :rolleyes:)

    I'm a musician and a glassblower. I got hooked on trucks a few years back because 1) I got a lot of gear and merch to haul and 2) the 2WDs are cheap. (Which is kind of important when you're a musician/glassblower. :D)

    I don't ever get a mileage allowance per se, but I make damn sure I claim every mile I can on my Schedule C!

    None yet.
    I use my truck for work every day, but what that is varies pretty widely. I'm a senior network engineer, so sometimes it just transports me. Other times, it carries equipment worth more than it is (I've had between a hundred and two hundred thousand of switches and servers in it before).

    Just a little word play with glazier (glacier) and Titaniz (Titanic) and calves (icebergs) ... It made sense when I first posted it but it doesn't really make it on second look. Word humor fail, apologized for in advance.

    Certainly not an insult. Glazier is a very respected and well paid trade in the Northeast. It's just that it makes me smile to hear someone say, "I'm a glazier." Don't deny that you get many quizzical looks. ;)

    I just drive my truck to work but I don't actually use my truck to do any of the work I get paid for, that is because there isn't a need for it as I am an Information Technology Supervisor. I am interested in starting off roading though as my truck is 4x4!

    Smart man here.

    Back in the day when I was a young carpenter contractor I also had a reg cab 4banger w/ a topper.

    Then as my business got larger, of course like every fool and his money...I had to have the big Ford FX4's & Chevy Z71's...etc.

    Matter of fact...I traded a 2010 F-150 for my Tacoma.

    I'm still building homes...I get all my materials delivered...I haul the small stuff and my tools...

    I love the setup. My ego does not. However, I'm at the age where practical wins over ego.

    not so much anymore, i was unemployed for a long time though and was doing a ridicilous amt of landscaping sidework until i got my current job ... so both the toyota and the 99 mazda b2500 that preceded it do indeed get used for work and play.
