Hi all, I'm new here but am very active on the B-Body wagon yahoo group: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/gm_wagons/

I grew up with a 78 Pontiac Grand Safari wagon with the 400 in it and then rode in an 86 Electra Estate with the 307 through my teenage years. Hadc a super clean 89 Olds Custom Cruiser in the early 2000's and also briefly had a 83 G-Body Bonneville wagon. If you can't tell, I like wagons a lot.

My current daily driver is a '96 Roadmaster Collector's Edition wagon with the LT1, which is my baby. I've only had this car since April of this year, and bought it with 73K miles on it. It has 80K on it now...yes I know that's too much, too fast, but I drive it every day. It's a rust-free Texas car from San Antonio.

Since April I've totally cleaned the car up, replaced the shocks, added Impala SS wheels, flowmaster 40 mufflers, tinted the windows, stripped and re-painted all the trim around the woodgrain, added the early 90's style flush roof rack rail, and done lots of minor cosmetic and detail work on it. My car is white over maroon leather. It's not a Limited. I'm in my 30's and am not making it into a hot-rod, just a fun driver that looks really nice.

Currently I'm about to tackle adding Corvette fuel rail covers. Will post pics as that comes out. I've laready found some great tips on this forum and thought I better introduce myself. Thanks in advance to all and glad to have found this place!
