    howdy all. the names Mark and i have a couple wagons that i love playing with. the first is a BEAUTIFUL 86 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. its running a 307, yeah i know weird huh, 200R4, and 2.53 gears. full power everything with cloth interior and the fold down 3rd row seat. its got a Kenwood cassette deck (2 knob) and Pioneer speakers in the rear and i THINK stocks up front.

    as for performance goodies, nothing really yet. just a K&N filter and MSD cap and rotor set. so without further stalling, here are some pics of it.

    and my other wagon is a 1990 Volkswagen Passat GL wagon. it runs a 9A 2.0l 16v, 4spd automatic. power windows, and locks with AC. base everything else. but tis a nice ride, when it runs right. its also running Borbet Type S rims with Toyo Proxies 4 v rated rubber (stolen off my 90 Jetta GLI). all in all a nice car which we got for a steal. in total i am into the Passat just about $1000 including purchase price. now i get to redo EVERYTHING in the car as it has been sitting for a while and the rear windows leak badly. all in all though a nice car.

    now on with the pics. its teh green one :)

    Welcome aboard, Datto. Beautiful clean Caprice for sure. The Passat's nice as well, but I'm a big time American car fan. You're not weird for liking the T&C wagon. Well, let me say this; if you are weird, you came to the right site because we're all right there with you! Actually, it's my feeling that people who don't like wagons are weird and we're the normal ones!
