Day in day out, what's your wagon's purpose?

mine is the little car that thinks it's a truck.
if you hit the seat with your hand a massive cloud of drywall dust will explode out of it.
yes, those are my kickass magnesium stilts with custom fab snowboard binding straps. best ever.
i can also haul 8' sticks of corner bead inside. 9 & 10' require sticking out the pass window a bit.
i know some of you are shaking your heads, "that is a mess." you would be correct.
454,000kms, driven daily carrying large amounts of crap.

It's nice to have all the room the wagon provides though. I got mine for winter DD use. For summer DD I have a Zuma 125 that gets about 95 mpg. I'd be driving it now, but I've been riding for about 15 years now, and riding in the freezing rain or just cold in general gets a little old.
i think... yes... i think i take offense to that. my wagon receives more TLC than most... see 'biggest restoration ever'. you don't get a chassis to 453,000kms without a lot of care. all that stuff i haul isn't that heavy either, no different than carrying 2 adult passengers. But yes, it is messier than an atlantic oil spill, and would probably take longer to clean up.
ill be using it to collect parts/engines, travel around the country, sleep in it blah blah blah
use it to its full potential! 8)
I really would like to put some work into mine, but at the same time I want to buy a really clean RT4WD to do up proper, slammed, turbocharged, mean wheel/tire package, something that looks as good as it moves. My gold beater will stay the "tow" vehicle until I get a truck.
(gawd damn they're hard to find.. )
So I'm gonna keep hating you lot until I find one of my own.
that's jealousy
it's there among
other things
for convenience...
Of course it's jealousy!
ps: I hate you too beagle.
wish i had a pic of last winter i pulled outlike 10 cars in one night.
they all said the same thing to me after thankyou " what is that? a toyota or something" nope honda civic " is it really 4wd?" yes sir. " well thanks again"
lol not to be a heater but most of them were vw people
friends and family. We brought the door header boards (18') for my garage on top of an 83 civic wagon my friend had at the time.
They were made to work ya know.

ya, they look huge.
but i am thinkin about pullin the wheels and coil spring knots and maybe lowering it a lil and some 14'' wheels lose the monster wagon look.
tommrow i am puttin some DA seats in it and a new front bumper going to fix the rear bumper and give it a really good clean job inside it looks worse then the first one posted up there i will make a new post in the member rides after itall done.
My wife doesn't understand how my interior gets so dirty with garbage during the week when I'm the only one who is in it.
I purchased it when my DA got placed into the garage and I've fallin in love with it.
It get's me to work, friends house's, junk yard runs, skate trips, hot box sessions, you name it!
I absolutely can not wait for winter!!!
Got my Seasons pass to the Summit at Snoqualmie, anyone else ride?
I am going to the wrecker today for a new blower motor, maybe i'll see if they have some DA rear shocks/springs to stiffen up the rear for the weight i am always hauling around.
