    Welcome aboard John. Is this your first wagon? I'm looking forward to hearing more about it.

    Yes, this is my first wagon. Bought it from a friend who is migrating to another country. Would love to post pics but I broke my phone. Will post pictures of it as soon as I get it fixed.

    Is your friend a scientist, doctor, professor? The intellectuals are usually the first to leave a country right before the fit hits the shan.

    Not only intellectuals. Those facing indictments have also been known to flee. For certain those who enjoy dual citizenship, fleeing is made easier. Especially, when the country of second citizenship has a habit of ignoring extradition requests. And I don't necessarily mean Kenya

    Welcome to the forum, John.

    I'll be interested in hearing your experiences with the BMW 3-series. I had a small-ish wagon near that size, but it had a Ford oval attached to it....... (Focus) It was a great wagon, though! I've got a big boat right now, but maybe looking to go smaller and more upscale with my next one. Too soon to tell.....

    P.S. What part of Nevada are you in?

    Yup. Going up for sale in the spring. Already have a prospective buyer who is VERY interested (but we haven't talked money yet). Once it is sold, we're going to be a one-vehicle family for a while at least (wife's 2012 Edge...). Not sure at this point what my next vehicle might be. Good chance it WON'T be a wagon.

    He might sit on a riding lawnmower while drinking beer. Do they even have riding lawnmower forums?

    some
    As the song goes, "I WILL survive......."

    I've got about a zillion projects to do at home, and we could certainly use the savings in not having two vehicles....... I'm NOT going away though.
    And 'play golf'......that's about what my game is, just 'playing'. When I was down in O.C., I played maybe twice a year, if that. I haven't even taken the protective wrap off my clubs after coming up here to Oregon in 2009..... I threw my dilapidated old golf bag away.......
