    Hi everyone. Long time reader, first time poster.

    Currently between wagons right now. Lost my '85 Caprice Classic last summer and no car has been right since. Currently in the hunt for another one (or similar - there's a LOT of similar, but I've got my heart set on a gray/blue 1989 Caprice), and I'm holding out until I find one in my budget that I can put some work into and really fix up. I've always wanted to have a show quality wagon, and now's the time.

    About me, I work full time and am also in school. I just finished my AA in the spring, and I'll be beginning my bachelors in the fall (Anthropology major/Chemistry minor). We're having our first kid in January, so I'm rationalizing a giant V8 station wagon to all my friends and family as safe, and big enough for the whole family. Whole family being me and the husband, future baby, and the two great danes. They loved our Caprice because of all the room in the back.
