New member, not so new wagon

So, I grew up riding around in the smaller wagons (cavalier, celebrity), and have fond memories of them and those of my friend's parents (except for the time I wrecked the cavalier, but that's a story for another time). Fast forward a few decades, and I have small kids, three of them in fact, and we have outgrown the Rendezvous I hated so much (wife's car, she loved it though). So, we've got a growing family, all boys, likely to be larger than the average bear like their father, and I need to upgrade the family car.

I start looking at Suburbans and Tahoes, realizing shortly thereafter the complete lack of legroom and headroom in the 3rd row seating. Then I come across a Caprice Wagon on Craigslist, and quickly come up with a pros and cons list for each body type. I take this list to my wife, who'll be the primary driver of the car, and she's on board. I spent a little over a month looking at various wagons, from the Taurus to the Roadmaster, eventually choosing a Roadmaster in Ohio. Bought it over the phone, and they delivered it later that week. After the first drive, I was a little jealous, and wishing I had such a commuter car (I drive a Saturn SL).

Now, I'm looking at suspension upgrades, trailer hitch, cooling system upgrades, and rear air conditioning. My wife loves this car, and I can't wait for our first road trip!

Welcome. I enjoy both the A-Body front wheel drive platform and the B-Body. I havent met a kid yet that didnt enjoy that gunner seat. You will find plenty of great info and advice here....Im going to go on a limb here and predict another wagon in your future.Lol...

Welcome aboard. There is nothing to say you can't get your own wagon
just keep and eye out for the screaming deal and bounce when it happens. I hit a high of 6 at one time around this time last year. Now I'm down to 2 but looking lol.

Good story my ex thinks the wagon is ugly the next likes it. Jeff

Interesting story. Kinda funny you went from subs and tahoes, to wagons. I think you made a great choice. I grew up with Tahoes, I wish we had a whale instead. Those boys will enjoy the Roadmaster i'm quite sure.
