    ... or at least a little different. Thanks you for letting me loose on another forum. I've always had a soft spot for wagons, even though they've always been rather nontraditional. The first car I remember my family having was a '73 Vega GT Kammback. My grandparents eventually ended up with one of the Pinto panel vans - the ones with the porthole windows. It was white with 2-tone green stripes. I've never seen another one in those colors. My daily driver is an '89 Volvo 740 wagon (The Breadbox) with 406,000 miles on it. It has aftermarket springs and sway bars, a 5-speed manual conversion and someday (hopefully soon) it will get the turbo upgrade to basically make it a 740 Turbo. My wife, until 2 weeks ago, had a '98 Volvo V70 AWD wagon, but just, well, supplemented, the collection with an '07 XC90 SUV (not my decision.) Her parents had a '86 Country Squire for years. All the metallic blue paint fell off and her father repainted it with Duplicolor spray cans, which actually made it look better. I'm just rambling now, so here's a picture.
