    Hi Guys. Newbie coming on board.. This has got to be the strangest Car forum on the web and the coolest too.. Wagon fanatics. What an ecclectic combo. Most regular car guys do not "get it".

    I mean the wagon thing...

    Must be a deep rooted childhood thing, memories of the 9 Pass Brookwood, traveling to the relatives while fighting with your brothers and sisters over who gets to look out the back..


    Or maybe its going to the drags and seeing that SS/I Chevy II
    327 4speed wagon tripping the 60 foot clocks with the rear Goodyears.

    Or maybe its just wanting to be a little different, not following the pack and 2nd mortgaging the house to by a #s matching Camaro or Mustang.

    What ever it "IS" . You guys reading this know it..bottom line.
    Station Wagons are cool.

    Glad to be here and hope to contribute...

    Welcome, Tim....
    We like the new stuff, too. Hasn't been too much of it lately.
    Did you notice the last car on his list, guys?
    --- He's got a Cadillac CTS Sportwagon. First one here.

    We want to hear all about it.

    I have met Nurse TorqueWrench and Nutcracker, but Nurse Ratchet never crosses over to my side of the dorm. She'd probably feed me with a slingshot!:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

    Hi Krash K,

    Can I call it a CaddyShack ?

    Not a whole lot to comment on yet. Just took delivery , less than 50 miles..

    Its Raven Black... polished 18s, Performance package, of course.. Sun roof... no Nav.

    Mary loves it cause its AWD. Traded in a STS that was totally **** in the snow..

    Hope to get the slop off it tomorrow and get some pics up...

    Happy new year... Tim
