Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

Because hatchy.

Car I learned to drive was grandpas' 61 two door Ranch Wagon.
300ci straight six would move the world with the right fulcrum.

... the fins! the fins ...

Family friend who lives in AZ stated its snowing in Tuscon.

A few friends I made while in Vegas showcased their snow pics too.

Maybe I should try to get a citizenship in Australia in order to get sun.

Can't explain, and don't feel the need to, but i think it's the stealth aspects of it, and in general i find them quirky cool Same reason I like UTE/Ranchero/El Camino/Brats

If given the choice between a Lotus and a wagon (just about any make) from the 50s to the late 60s. I would take the wagon!

Different strokes. I loved my Chevette.

Hey, it is in Alberta, maybe you should lay down a bid!

It is possible! Will watch the price closely tomorrow. At $17,000 CDN now I wouldn't go over $20K. The 9 years i storage makes me a bit nervous. The heavy undercoat does as well since not sure what it could be hiding.

Of course you don't need to. I was just giving you shit. That was a running gag for years with some friends of mine years ago.

One time at a poker game, one of the guys showed up in a new Dodge Magnum. It was a special model with the bigger hemi, a PDK (when the Germans owned Dodge) and a real shaker hood. He spent 20+ minutes showing and telling us of all the buzzers and whistles, then my late friend Matt says, "but it's still just a station wagon". We all started busting up. It became the joke whenever anyone could work that into the conversation. Old habit.

You would probably love my wife's boss' wagon. It is like a 700hp Mercedes wagon sooped up and lowered with a trick suspension.

Lower the straps holding the seat up? I don't think I've ever seen one with a floor left...

I wouldn't mind having another one of these. Super fun.

I was two inches shorter back then. Kept growing.

They are but you have the Lotus. I'd rather feel nostalgic about my 240Z in blissful ignorance. I have the feeling that I'd be disappointed if I drove one now. Maybe not. I dunno.


One of my uncle's had a 914. It was super cool.
