    I do have to say again, first time up close to one and yeah I really liked it. As I mentioned it only had the V6 and I didn't "test bomber pilot" the car, just drove normal around the block a couple times. But it seems to me anyway that the V6 would provide ample power..... you could tell instantly it would blow the doors off my Buick's, Olds 307.

    Now I have to some day get behind the wheel of a whale wagon!

    I like the 3.5 in mine but I did wish for a 5.7 when I was on the Coquihalla during some of the long climbs on my previous trips through the mountains heading to the Island to visit family.

    i think a awd magnum would be the only thing to get me out of my Town&Country.

    With slightly less miles problems and $!

    Now you'll have to get a Toyota to act as a pusher-tug to get that thing in and out of its berth!! Maybe one of the dogs could handle the tug-Toyota? [One-Ruff=slow astern!; Two-Ruffs=All stop; rapid-yapping=the danger signal...]
    Okay- the best of luck working out the problems. It sure has a straight body and good paint!

    Had me going for a minute there! I've always liked the Magnums and if money wasn't an issue, would seriously consider getting one. There's a new station wagon in my family, although at the moment it's about 2500 miles away... My brother, who'll be moving out to Washington to live with me, just got an '02 Ford Taurus wagon. Us Chevy guys will have to rough him up a bit for buying a Ford, but it's really not a bad car. I'll have to convince him to join the SWF so he can post pictures and whatnot.
