    Hello to everyone.
    Not much to tell about myself. I was born and raised in central Ohio, in a little one-stoplight town called Fredericktown.
    I retired from the Air Force back in '89 after 24 years, and settled in Michigan. Every Winter I kick myself for that.
    Over the years I've owned six station wagons, my favorite being a beautiful gold '71 Vista Cruiser that I got when I was stationed in Tampa. I loved everything about that car. Then some dang drunk ran a stop sign and turned it into just memories. I've often thought about getting another one, but, I don't know, it just wouldn't be the same.
    I spend most of my time nowadays building and working on computers. I currently have five of them (seven if you count the laptops).
    I've been lurking around this great forum for about seven years. In a world of SUV's and minivans it's nice to be among others that appreciate the beauty of wagons.
    Well, that's my life in a few paragraphs.

    Steve

    Welcome aboard Steve.
    One doesn't have to own a wagon to be passionate about them. Glad you're here.

    I think he does.
    A 71 Vista Cruiser can be picked up for only four grand these days in running condition.
    But I too want to welcome you to the forum Steve, regardless.

    Was your wagon like this one?

    Other then rust selfish drivers seem to be the demise of a lot of these wagons.

    Glad you came out of the dark and joined us.

    I too lurked around this site for about a year before I joined, absolutely no regrets - it as much fun as the Crossfire Forum,
    they too are a little touched, who else would like a car that was sold on Overstock.com.
    also joined Mercedes and Audi forums - but NEVER look at them - BORNG -

    welcome

    Especially, the AUDI forums, since most Audis look pretty much alike
