    I finally has the chance a few months ago to purchase a 1995 Roadmaster wagon. How I loved that car, the engine, the suspension, the looks and especially the interior. Burgundy leather, so many ways to adjust.

    This young girl was speeding in the rain, clipped the edge of a stopped car and spun four lanes right in front of me, I was doing 45-50 when I nailed her.
    No one was hurt, 'except MY CAR... I know I'll be stiff in the morning.


    So bummed. Please anyone know of a 1996 or 1995 (LIKED the LT1 eng.) I'm near Detroit and I need it today. :taz::taz:

    This is another sad story. Did you call her on her cell phone? Or was she still talking on it? :whew: Hope you are okay. As you wrote, you will feel it in the morning.

    Bummer, bunny. So sorry to hear about your wagon. I didn't know you had one? Hope you find a new one soon. Doubt I can get one to Detroit today, though.

    So sorry to hear about your loss, but glad you weren't seriously injured!
    I lost my Country Squire in a similar manner a few years ago, and after six months of searching, found my Colony Park.
    Its a better car, and I got it for the same amount as the insurance paid me for my old car.
    PLUS I got to keep the old car, which I could still (sort of) drive. I eventually sold it for $600.
    My point is, the at fault drivers insurance co. valued my wagon the same as a sedan. I pointed out that like convertibles, wagons are worth considerably more than sedans, and backed it up with photos of show car wagons and magazine articles.
    You CAN negotiate your settlement, so you don't have to take the first offer from the ins co.

    Glad you came out in stiff, but working order. I wonder if the social butterfly that hit you took any pointers with her to the Tylenol bottle as well.

    Bet you're glad its a solid wagon.;)

    I am sorry to hear this. I know how it feels... Just lost my colony park after days and days of hard labour to make the car mint.
