		<description>I have owed a lot of wagons...

1974 Chevrolet Vega -  Loaded it up with all my stuff and drove it from Western New York to California... The perils of youth... LOL!

1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic - bought this from my buddy&#039;s parents. Had a new motor in it and drove like a dream. My wife at the time hated it so we traded it in... Should have kept the car instead.

1985 Cavalier - bought this from my business neighbor for $100... drove it for two years and sold it for $300. Other than a plugged catalytic converter, I never spent a dime on this car. Great little car.

1979 Monza - bought it from an older guy who was moving. Loved that car and drove it for almost two years.  Sold it to my buddy who promptly stuffed it into a utility pole.

1972 Chevelle Concours - A hot rod. Put a brand new marine small block in it. Put a four speed manual transmission in itt for good gear rowing driving pleasure.  Drove the bejeepers out of that car. it was a true hoot to drive.  Sold because someone made me an offer on the car that I could not turn down.

2002 PT Cruiser - does this count as a wagon? It is my current wife&#039;s all time dream car so when I found if for a ripping deal, we got it. I painted the top half black and put a custom engine turned aluminum leaf strip around the beltline. Still have it.

2007 HHR Panel - I wanted it. Had to have it. I got it. Great truck.

1971 Vega Panel Express - long time project car - not sure what to to with it now because of...

1973 Pontiac Astre Panel Express - super rare. Very clean. Got because it is done and is a blast to drive.  

I almost bought a Opel Kadett wagon up here. I have always liked them and came close several times getting one but I could never swing the deal. Maybe someday... Nope. Wife shaking her head &quot;NO&quot; with that look on her face...</description>

		<description>My Dad had an Opel Kadett wagon just like the one in the photo.  Had the 1.1 engine.  I learned to drive stick on it.  It was a fun car!  I would drive friends to the lake in the car, and we had to drive over a mountain to get to the lake.  The Opel had to be downshifted to first gear to get up the mountain.  My friends got a great kick out of that.  I later bought one like it, but couldn&#039;t get it to run right, and ended up taking it back to the dealer.  I wish we still had Dad&#039;s Opel.  It was a car that I will always remember.</description>
