    It's been a heck of a day, I had to get up at the buttcrack of dawn to get an alignment done on my truck. They did it WRONG and it pulls worse! I had it done at the Chevy Dealership to top it off! That took all day, too and I gotta go back Monday morning to have them fix it.

    Also had about an hour and a half drive each way to go get the new wagon. I will post up new, better pics tomorrow when I have daylight again, I promise! Sorry for the rant :)

    I don't have any more pics, yet. That's tomorrow lol. The car is a local car all its life, lived a couple hours away. It has 88,000 actual miles. Unfortunately, it sat under a deck and the saps from the wood ate the paint away a bit on the roof and hood. The original owner was very old and drove by feel and dented the front fender a little and the back one considerably, but I think I can fix it.

    The interior is like brand new, 3 row seats. It's the LS and is well-optioned all the way down to the cigarette lighters in the rear doors. Made the 90 minute drive no problem, almost all interstate, just floated. I'm very happy with it.

    Don't feel bad! I just needed to vent. Thank you :)

    They refused to do the alignment, since the ball joints were bad and offered to put in new ball joints in for 520 bucks. Needless to say, I did them myself. Brought it back and they can't get it right. The alignment guy at Trececk's is a bit of a prima-donna.

    Thank you Tedy :) I can't wait to get her on the road.

    Way to go Caprice! What year is it? Mine's a '90 that I'm totally hooked on. Just got some wider tires (245/60 15's) and the ride is even better. Enjoy and more pix please! :cheers:
