    Welcome! Those GM mid-sized wagons from that time period are very handsome. It will be interesting to learn about what work you've done so far and what your plans are.

    Wow, 600+ horsepower! That's probably four or five times the amount of horsepower it came with from the factory. You'll have fun running errands in that wagon!
