That's something you don't see anymore, Dad's station wagon. Terminally uncool, built almost exclusively for hemorrhoid comfort, rattles a bit, luggage rack shows significant signs of wear. The socks and sandals of the automobile industry.

I rode in the back of one of these with 5 other kids on a cross-country trip once. It was glorious.

Hold up. Since when were station wagons considered uncool? My top favourite cars, among those I could realistically afford when I had a decent paying job, are all specifically the station wagon version.

Since Clark Griswold drove one under a log truck.

You rock your style, friend. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

as a dad, in the market for a station wagon, there really isn't anything as cool anymore. I still want a roadmaster (in good condition) so bad, nothing better than a huge, wood paneled boat powered by an LT1.
