Welcome aboard Scott. It's gonna be fun keeping you and CapriceEstate sorted out! Two, young, Capricious wagon lovers.

How's the snow, down your way?

 

welcome fellow gm wagon nut.....if your not nuts about your wagon, your wagon will drive you nuts!...lol

 

Hi Scott! From the little pictures it seems like a nice wagon. I am sure you will enjoy it, although it is off course completely different from a Scion.

given insurance...and utility .....good choice. take your girl to a drive in movie (once you get the stereo working)park backwards and use the trunk seat and catch a flick. you'll find it is the most usefull vehicle youlll every have. ...tweak that 305 (or 350) and you'll have a great sleeper. wanna see a bad @$$ 80's wagon...look at stickmans olds

 

Welcome to the Forum. You will really love the B-Body wagons. I know I do mine. Don't be affraid to join in the conversations, or start one.

 

Well, I am glad to see someone bought this wagon that will appreciate it. I had spotted this car and posted here here a couple of weeks ago on a thread on this very site....

Enjoy it!

Sorry to hear about your Scion Tc. Had the warranty recently ran out? Thats a fairly late model car to have that major of an issue. Its a real bummer though. My cousin in South Carolina had a Scion Tc, but they have a baby now and had to buy another Scion, but the new Xb this time. You must live on down in central or eastern South Carolina? My family in western South Carolina (upstate) did not get any snow, but I heard the eastern part did, which is unusual for any part of South Carolina, especially the eastern part. I guess everyone enjoyed it. I know they do here when it snows, because its not all that common here.

Good luck with the wagon.

 

I knew I couldn't be the only one! 99% of people who ride in my car are 20 or younger and even though they say "They would never be caught dead driving a wagon" They all love the comfort and space it provides and always wanna use it when going hunting, fishing, etc. Bottom line, gotta love the wagons.

Also, glad to see another young Caprice fan out there! Welcome welcome welcome!!!

 

Circuit City...going out of business. Go grab yourself a stereo and some speakers, probably $100 or less.

 

Very cool blue woody.

 

Ya cant drive without a radio. That's unnatural haha. I had the tubes blow on mine in my 60 Chevy, and had to keep a transistor radio sitting on the seat next to me.

 

Oh yea i saw that the other day, i think thats wat im gunna try to do on my next few days off...iv found alot of "little" projects iv got to tend to...i left out earlier and came out to the car wonderin were i would find the rain leakin and sure enuf its leakin from the cracked seal around the windshield rite above the steerin wheel...its not bad jus afew drops here and there but wats got me confused is my seat was wet and idk were or how it got wet the headliner was dry no water runnin....i think my car pee'ed my seat (lol)....i read a thread this mornin about cars havin personality i thought it was funny and sooo true...yesterday leavin work i made a sharp turn it was slightly inclined and i saw my low oil light flicker (i knew it was alil low from checkin it the day i bought it, but it was only a quart or so)..after seein that i wasnt far from home so i was goin to jus make it to the house, and tend to it this mornin but b4 i made it a 1/2mile up the road the engine started the dreadful ticking...i imediately turned around and headed back into town to the autozone and about 3mins into the drive back the car stopped tickin i made it to the store and put acpl quarts of oil in and shes been purrin since, the tickin nvr came back....lol
