Hello From TN!!!

....and they'r off......

 

They're usually off more then their on!

 

You boys seem to be having way too much fun with this
My plans for BBB is to driver her daily and hopefully make a lot of heads turn I mean how often do you see a lady driving a big rumbling wagon to the grocery store...to me that's cool.

 

:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Hope you have fun here, BBB. We wander from subject matter a little at times but we actually do know a lot about wagons.

 

I'm loving it already

 

Glad you are enjoying it here. You might even learn something about wagons---or teach us---while here.
Give some of these guys a bag of rocks and they'll play for hours.

 

A bag of rocks! WHERE?!?:banana:

 

Danged it foxy. I just got a new keyboard. Lucky I sat my Pepsi down and swallowed before looking at this post!
You can't have any rocks till you stop bothering your son dewey.
Besides, you should have saved some from when you lived on that rock. Didn't your mamma tell you to put some rocks back for a rainy day?

 

HEY!!! dammit !!!
*I* ain't bother'd Dewey none so gimme me dem damn rocks !!!!

 

Be nice and maybe you can have some later.

 

From what I remember there are plenty of rocks along the lake shore. Go git your own rocks!
And stop throwing them at tall buildings!

 

Hey Big, or should that be Blue, or Betty or BBB? Hmmm, something for much pondering, you can see we do a lot of that on this forum.

Anyway, my wife from time to time takes the '57 wagon for groceries, and for a long time used it as her daily driver instead of her truck because she enjoyed driving it. Now she usually uses her little Blazer, but when I swipe (er - borrow) that, she sneaks the wagon out of the back shop . I have mixed feelings about that. It is neat/fun that she has no issues with using it and neat to see it driving down the road BUT, well, I also go through significant angst while it is out playing without me there to protect it.

But hey, this is what they were made for, they work so well as daily drivers in a world smothered with mini-vans and SUV's, and she sure does get asked a lot of questions about it and more than half the time by ladies who comment that they'd enjoy having a wagon.

Funny how they've moved from being the utilitarian vehicle to a ladies hot rod.

 

My wife never did drive. In Illinois we lived close to our small town and close to bus or taxi stops. Now we are seven miles from town and I am older and wiser.... lazier..... I wished she could and would drive. But I'd worry about the wagon every second she was away. Although our 22 year old takes it when he stops over to test and tune------ burn rubber and get gas!
Both of them have been around old cars so long they know that I only park on an end row or some place in a lonely spot. So I know it would be safe. It's just that daddy's are protective of their kids, even those mechanical ones.
When your wife drives your wagon that is good publicity for station wagons. Especially when she loads it with $300 worth of groceries with ease. That would be at least two medium bags!

 

I may have told this story before, but I won't let that stop me from repeating it right know...
Years ago when my kids were much younger we owned a Caprice(I beleive) wagon(Eeyore) with the third, way back seat, we all loved it.
Well anyway, one day I was looking after my husbands neice and two nephews. It was a very hot day and I had some errands to run and what to do with six, hot, whining kids??? Well I came up with a plan, take the kids to the pool, got them settled. Headed downtown picked up a few things, went across town picked up a few groceries. Then back to the pool picked up the kids. Stopped at DQ for a box of ice cream treats. Headed home, but stopped at the lumber yard first to pick up some lumber for hubby. The guy at the yard thought all those kids were mine...silly man. Got home everyone's happy, coolled off and in the yard playing. I really liked that huge old wagon.
