    Hello,

    My name is Tedd and I have a Station Wagon addiction.,,,:dance:

    I have had my wagon since 2005. It is a 1991 Caprice Classic with way too many miles on it. Some where around 186,500 on it. I will be uploading pictures as time permits. I use it to tow my 1967 26' Airstream travel trailer and as a general kid hauler, it's stable mate is a 1993 Caprice sedan.

    I paid $1.00 for my wagon, my father-in-law would not take a penny more. Since then I have dumped almost 9K in it with repairs and upgrades. Heck the thing is in the shop as I type. :49:


    I have been married just about 19 years and have four kids in the house. 14 down to 4 never a dull moment around here!!! LOL My wife is a full time mom and the teacher. (We home school)

    I work for an electronics firm as a maintenance and calibration tech. Also, I am a Civil War reenactor, portraying a Union solder with a artillery unit. There is a link to my unit in my signature. I really enjoy learning about the history of our country. I am also a long time (34 years) railroad nut. I am a huge fan of he Chicago Burlington & Quincy RR.

    My dream car is a 1966 Chrysler Newport Wagon with a 413 CDI.... :)

    I am not sure what ya'll want to know so I will stop rambling for now.

    I have a few screw ups with the registration system to straighten out. All of witch are my fault. Happy fingers get me in more trouble.....

    Welcome to the forums, Tedd! Glad to hear someone's still using one of these as a family ride. I hope mine gets to be one in a few years! However, I would be fighting against you in the Civil War re-enactments!
