Car Shopping

With a family growing larger and cars growing older, Daddy has been on the lookout for newer vehicles to replace the current fleet. Please realize that this search for a new car is merely a fantasy, a daydream to keep Daddy's mind busy during drives to and from work. Until money starts falling from the sky, or car dealers starts handing out keys to free cars, the Volvo and Buick are going to have to soldier on.

Daddy has been thinking recently about the advantages to driving a van or possibly a station wagon. Both styles have lots of room for children and things. The coolness factor of a van or wagon suffers quite a bit. They're just not cool. Nobody will look twice when you roll up in a Chevy Express or a Subaru Outback. 

But rumble up to the curb in this wagon with all 470hp snorting and crackling through the dual exhaust pipes and the coolness factor of wagons goes way up! 




The truth is that while this wagon is cool, it is also a basket case. The body panels are majorly out of alignment, the dash is completely gone, the rear window is missing, and the driver's side window is shattered. 
This would make a decent project for someone with time and money. Daddy will stick with the Grand Wagoneer - at least the problems with it are already known!
