I'm 49, semi-retired (I work part time and odd jobs to fund the toy budget) and I kinda do all of the above. I use my '38 F-14 for whatever tasks it is suited for, mostly hauling a trailer and running a sicklebar mower.

Providing, of course, you don't count the money I put into rebuilding the ol' Farmall. I drag the F14 to one show a year, and go to one or two more. Trying to figure a way to get the F14 with the mower on it to a show next month. My trailer ain't big enough for the two of them...
