Is that offer open to anyone (short of the fap-a-thon)?


Jeeps here are hit or miss, mostly they get tossed out when the transmissions fail.

All you have to do to get a tour of where i work is call the guard shack and they'll connect you with the public relations lady. They give tours all the time.

I'm sorry, modern cars, damn near all of them, have simply sacrificed too much in the name of aerodynamics and safety to be beautiful anymore.

I beg to differ. This vehicle was ICONIC.


my buddy had one, we were shocked when you removed the headlights there were still brackets for round lights back there. its the car they forgot to stop making.

as for the aztek, my dealer in 2001 gave me one as a loaner when the sunfire was in the shop... interesting is all i can say

Yeah, the Grand Wagoneer lasted until 1991. Believe or not when Chrylser took over, they actually added stuff to the Wagoneer like taking the overhead console from the Caravan and put it! It also was the last vehicle in North America to have a carburetor with the 360 AMC V8!

And Chrysler now is bringing back the Grand Wagoneer in 2013 because Jeep doesn't have a 7 passenger SUV to take on the Tahoe! I hope it has wood paneling

what the hell happened to this forum? Am i the only one that feels like choking on my tasty donut at the thought of fucking woodgrain tape making a reappearance on a car? What the fuck is this? 1976? Has Clark Fucking Griswold made a sudden reappearance with the WagonQueen FamilyTruckster (in metallic peat)? Woodgrain sucked then and it sucks now...

I never liked the wood grain on GM station wagons of the 70s like the Vista Cruiser...it just looked like wallpaper bought from Kmart. The way that AMC did it made it look stylish. It also helped that AMC didn't offer it with colors like Harvest Gold and Avocado Green.
