What are you guys drivin' ?

I don't have photos of them all to post here, but...

2000 Dodge Caravan (Won't pass another inspection due to rust - winter beater)

1984 Chevy Caprice Classic 4-Door, 5.0 Litre w/Overdrive

This was my Paternal Grandfather's retirement car, and last car he owned. Been in the family since 1985.

1990 Mercury Grand Marquis Wagon

Summer car, never been driven in winter slush. Great for long road trips, so cozy.



1999 Chevy Suburban K2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel

A work vehicle capable of towing a big ol' 5,000 pound car. This is a car I've modified a bit with an air dam and (not pictured) homemade cold air intake, both which should make the vehicle more fuel efficient. I hope to get a "bypass" oil filtration system for it some time soon.

Love the wagon!

I'm with Bob, the wagon is tops! The majority of cars I've owned have been wagons...close second would be Rancheros I'd Venture. (pun intended)

Thanks, I got it in August 2014 from the original owner and had been thinking of getting a wagon off and on for maybe thirteen years before that. Now this Mercury is a garage queen. Dad had a 1987-89 Caprice Estate when I was a kid, so I was familiar with wagons even then.

We had a Ford Falcon wagon when I was a kid. It was yellow with wood similar to your wagon down the sides. I remember riding in the back going on trips. Those were the days!

A good looking car...



I tried finding one in Google Images with the vinyl on the sides, didn't find one. Maybe I just missed it.

That's it! It was lighter yellow almost an off white with the "genuine" simulated wood grain, chrome roof rack too!

I may have found it, sans roof rack:

I thought I'd share this just for fun. Recently I attended the third annual "Babes Ride Out" event. It drew 1200 women riders from all over the world for a fun weekend of ladies only camping.

On the last day I was visiting an art studio out in the boonies. They had some outdoor exhibits that were pretty cool so I asked if I could take my bike up the hill to photograph it. The guy said, "honey if you can get your Harley up that hill, go right ahead". So, I showed them how to ride a Harley in the dirt.

Sarah, you rock girl!

101 Volts, you found my Pop's old Falcon woody wagon, that's it!!
