That is why I drive a Tin-top - the utility.

Envision a pallet laying there with 15 one hundred pound bags of plaster
on it. BTDT - From Anchorage, Alaska through the Chugach Mountains to
Soldotna - a 150 mile trip. I took my time. There were several stretchs
of first gear creep in my '85 GL. Glad the weather was cool in those
mountains.
