| It is irritating that S.F. is devaluing our cars. The other side of the coin is that we know the kid will have more fun with that wagon than a chinsy foreign subcompact. | |

| As mentioned before on here, Hagerty isn't laughing at us. We made their cover story. | |

| I know they are poking fun at the 'old' wagon, but my wife and I think the commercials are funny!
Especially the other one when the kid says I'll never get a date in this car and the parents are like we've had plenty of dates in it! | |

Especially the other one when the kid says I'll never get a date in this car and the parents are like we've had plenty of dates in it! Exactly, first time I saw it I laughed my butt off. There are two versions that I have seen. Hard pill for some to swallow but the general population dislikes station wagons. I bought my Caprice from a kid that didn't like it. Asked my son if he wanted to drive one of the wagons and I just brought home and the answer was a really quick no. The average kid today is more excited by Mom's Toyota or whatever silly monstrosity he saw in a Fast and Furious movie. Either way, it's just a commercial, I wouldn't read too much into it and definitely don't be one of those "I'm offended" types. | |

| It is just a commercial. I find it a bit funny also. | |

| Do you know where I can buy a RIBBED tensioner for my 1994 Chevy Caprice Wagon - 5.7. I LOVE this car and my 1992 Buick Roadmaster (looks not quite as pretty as the photo above) but getting parts seems to be getting harder. Thanks. | |
