the things that people say

About my 77 Aspenwagon,"Mr. Gwinn!..Your car!!. It's so HUUUUUUGE!!!"
Also about my 77 Aspenwagon,while me and my son(who was five or so,at the time)were washing it on the street in front of our house. A neighbour,with his son,was getting into his car(an early 80's Celica)and asked,"Isn't that,like,a waste of time?" (Flip of the coin tale.A few weeks later,he and his son were washing the Celica,and I asked him the same question.Which confused him.)
Comments and questions about our 86 Colony Park have been;
At a GoodGuys Car Show we went to.We parked in the parking lot,and were headed to the front gate to get in and see the show.A girl,who must've been about five,at the time,pointed at our stationwagon and exclaimed with great wonder and admiration,"Whoa Daddy!Look at THAT one!"
"Those 70's cars sure were big,weren't they?" (Yes they were,even bigger than this one)
(related) "I remember hanging my head out of the window of one these and puking all down the side of it,back in the 70's."
"There's no f#cking way that piece of sh#t gets more than 10 miles per gallon,you f#cking liar!"
at work one day "Brian! Move that Oldsmobiley looking thing!"
(related)(a tow truck driver showed up to take it to the shop,because it wouldn't start) "That's not a Mercury!"
"They made cars that looked like that in the 80's?" (All the way up to 1991)

 

Pulling up to the Taco Bell drive through in my '78 Country Squire:

The girl pops her head out the drive up window "Mr, is that a hearse?"

At the tailgate pregame party at my college with my '77 Country Squire:

Random college kid about 18-19, drunk, "Dude, I never knew they put real wood on cars"

At a random stoplight here in my home town in my '78 Country Squire:

Some Honda Pilot driver rolls down his window, asked this: "why do you still have your hubcaps and honky lips not spray painted on your car? You know East St. Louis is south?" As he laughed like a jerk and made a right turn.

 

I got my car back in 2006, one morning I decided to drive the LeBaron to work, this was before I retired from the Navy, and the gate guard said to me: " The Griswalds called, they want their car back", really kind of a lame line but not expected from a guy with a gun holding up traffic just to tell me that. I've stood gate watch myself it is very dull, probably the most exciting thing that happened to him that morning.

 

i have to say the most memorble comment on my malibu wagon had to be at a carshow. at all the car shows in my area theres a few well known guys who are at all of them, i had taken the wagon to a few of em when it was under primer and the one guy said son why do u have that thing painted it will be much better, i said well i am but not right now. the next weekend after i painted the car the same guy offed to buy the car and he dont have junk thats for sure. the mans got 3 all numbers matching 67 68 69 z28s. so gettin and offer from that dude was kinda neat to know im gettin the likes of that feller

thanks for my boring story! lol

 

How I have spent a fortune on car and repairs and still cant drive it because of problems.

 

What the **** is wrong with you?

Why are you doing all that to a wagon?

Man, that is awsome, cant wait to see it!

A stationwagon?? with woodgrain on the sides...does it have seats in the way back???..those are great, we had one when I was a kid!

 

I wonder if the Aussies call it the Outback or the Mother-in-law suite.

 

Probly "The Mother in law Suite"
Growing up we always called the third row seats the "Way Back".

 

" And when you leave take that awful Pacer with you":2_thumbs_up_-_anima ,, so now it has the 500 cube-inch Caddy engine...
Bet he wishes he hadn't made that remark!!!
Now i'm bugging him on a 72 AMC Sportabout maybe he'll say take one too? ( have AMC 401 cid awaiting transplant-winter project)

 

Those are great. The editor of Hemmings Classic Car magazine has an 82 Ford LTD wagon and he got a letter that exclaimed that he was an idiot for rebuilding the engine because it only gets 9 or 10 mpg and it's a piece of junk. Of course the reply said it got 20 mpg before the rebuild and every bearing was bad in the 302 that started instantly without any knocking.

 

Lastnight, I got a call from my wife who manages a local restaurant and 2 of the regulars drive Roadmaster wagons and are friends. Well she called and said to get up there quick, that I will get a kick out of it. I get there and here is our 92 Blue Roadmaster that she drove to work, and parked beside it is a Tan 94 and a white 91, both Roadmasters. I chuckled as I pulled my white 93 in there to park beside them. I wish she would have told me what was going on, coz I would have taken my camera.

Well, the 2 old guys and I were outside BS's and admiring each others wagons and down comes Vince, the owner of the restaurant, who also is my best friend and co-worker/boss (also owns a construction company that I work for) and says, "it looks like a wagon train just pulled up, lol."

So from now on, I am taking my camera everywhere with me, incase I get a photo op like that again. Probably won't happen again till spring though, those 2 old birds fly south for the winter.

 

Before I'd managed to save up enough money to get it's leak fixed,I'd have to pour a quart of oil into my Dodge's 318,every morning.That went on and on,for quite some time(ended up buying a lot of Raylube,a paraffin based motor oil,cuz it was less than a dollar a quart).Our 88 Acura Legend sprung a similar leak---and there was no putting off the repairs.It was fix it or toss it...

 

Hey! you didn't tell us about the wagon cruize in. Darn.
