Lurker Turned PROUD Owner from NC

I have been lurking for some time now, been watching craigslist like crazy for about a year....Even bought an app just to alert me when wagons were posted...Passed on a few wagons, not so much because of the wagon more because of my pocketbook. Been doing tons of Artwork(art teacher by trade) and saving money....selling anything I have laying around I don't need.....I was ready.

I am a HS Art Teacher and been surfing my entire life, so having a RMW just had to happen...I posted a few weeks ago, asking for some help in deciding what to do, which engine to go after....another one of those annoying threads that have been asked a million times.  

Shortly after a fellow board member "Flasharoo" reached out to me and began tons of back and forth messaging....and to make a VERY LONG story and a 24 hour adventure to VA yesterday. I am the proud owner of this beauty.....Drove home 6 hours yesterday back to Iron Station, NC with a grin on my face for so long my jaw is sore.

I told my 3 kids I had a surprise for them...All my oldest daughter could say was are we driving it to the beach this weekend? OH YES! The twins are in love with the back seat already....It's going to be a fun summer!

I cannot tell you how great of a human being "Flasharoo" is.  I certainly would recommend him if anyone needs to do any type of transaction.  He has and I'm sure will continue to be a huge help for me in creating the greatest daily driver I have ever owned.  He has gone well above and beyond to help me out and hook me up with my purchase of his 95 RMW.

Myself(left) and Flasharoo, I had to have a picture of the official done deal adoption.....Yorktown,VA is amazing, go visit there if you need a trip to take.


We needed to stop for lunch, when I saw this in the middle of knowwhere VA, I knew it's where we needed our firs meal together


At home after 6 hours of hwy cruising.....and got 22mpg!

Preston, it was a real pleasure getting to know you and then finally meeting you and your lovely wife yesterday.I sincerely hope that you and your family make some of the same memories I have from my childhood.When I saw your first post ablout wanting a wagon for your family I knew that I had found a new owner for my RMW.]
Thank You for making my sunday a great day
Jim

Awesome.

You got a good car. Well done.

In case you are wondering about all the bird poop,my brother in all his infinite wisdom put 4 birdfeeders directly behind where I parked the wagons.I took the 95 out around midnight and got it washed and gassed up so it wouldnt be covered in bird poop.The OCC is now clean as well.The RMW went to a great new home and thats all I wanted for it.

Cool story and now we know what a Flasherroo looks like.

My whole wagon thing started with wanting one so I could fit my 9'6" in and lock it.  Actually had two of them in there last Saturday...
