There are few things more satisfying than blowing the doors off a serious sports car with a station wagon. God help the points on my license as soon as I get my hands on a S62 and a six speed.

I love your car. Still running the 5AT?

Just picked up a 2013 Focus ST. I feel it's an appropriate color. I'll take a photo of it next to my other yellow wagon/hatch (2003 wrx sportwagon in sonic yellow) one of these days...

How do you like it? Were you able to beat on the test drives at all? I've seriously been considering one, but I'm generally not a fan of FWD cars. From everything I've read and seen, they would appear to be set up fairly well, but I'm still a bit leery on them. Love that color though. Without getting into specifics, would you mind me asking how close to MSRP you got it for?

I paid $25,995 after incentives, MSRP was $29,165. The car handles extremely well, only very slight understeer which is solved by taking your foot off the loud pedal. Otherwise it is very neutral and if you chuck it into a corner the back end will step out ever so slightly to basically point you at the apex of the corner. It is quite a bit of fun to drive. And yes I railed on it (well a different one on the lot) during the test drive, may have frightening the sales guy a little.

You're...not helping me save money...

They are brining over the VF as a Chevy SS, stands to reason you might eventually see the Wagon form?

Hahaha, no.

Since this is the proper place, does anyone here have any hands-on time with the Volvo V50? They've caught my eye lately and the T5 seems like a possibly viable option.

Put the winter wheels on the E46. I like 'em, but have no idea what model they are. Well, bring on the frost and loving salt. In the background you can see the wife's playcar, on which I need to replace the brakes... or junk it, there's always that

Apparently those are Style 46. Check it out: http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/

Here's a photo from what he had in the listing, I'll clean it up once it's here and take some good shots in decent lighting.

The engine, before cleaning. I'll get a shot tomorrow of it after a bunch of scrubbing. Going to paint the valve cover and air cleaner next weekend, hopefully.

That stuff on the driver side is where the seat threw up all its contents. The filler was half an inch thick from being under a floor mat for quite a long time. Still haven't gotten it all out of the carpet.

Found these in the back. They've gotta be from around the time they purchased the car.

And a picture from tonight's trip to meet the locals. All their talk of building Javelins with 401's and four speeds didn't phase the Hornet with it's dependable straight six and Torque-Command.

Man, I wished you lived near Chicago. That thing kicks rear end. Green 70's cars fo' life.

Volvo's making some cool wagons right now too but they won't be in the $15k range next year. Seems totally doable to find a low-mileage CTS wagon for that kind of coin though.

Also discovered there are some cynical motherfuckers at Cadillac... Mom car? gently caress no, they doubled down and named the goddamn color vanilla latte.

I wonder how that would look with the chrome blacked out. I didn't realize the prices came down that far. Not bad...

New pads, turned rotors, and Motul RBF 600 for the -V today. Pads - for both axles - a whopping $50 delivered by Amazon Prime. Some quirk in the Matrix means pads for these big Brembos are dirt cheap.

This all in preparation for the Virginia City Hillclimb this weekend. May be the only wagon representing! Pics/cool poo poo to follow.

Man, I wish I had a pair of these. With some new rotors, they'll bolt right up to my Nova :v:

I'd need some bigger wheels though...

How big are those?

I have the J55 brakes (f-13.6" r-13.4") on my 2010 wagon and parts guy was like are these rotors for a van? I said no a station wagon.

Still find it amusing that a CTS4 tops the scales at 4300+ pounds.

I want to say 14". Same size as a C6.

About $250 or so on average to get a set of euro lights. I honestly kinda like the round lights. They're sealed beams and really suck, so I'm trying to find an easy projector conversion. I think the e30 projector headlights might just fit.

If they're the standard H6024 7" lights, Hella makes a retrofit housing that takes an H4 bulb. I'll probably pick some up for the Nova eventually. I think they usually run $40-$45 per side. Plus bulbs.

Yes, they should be. I did that conversion on my 122 already, made a night and day difference (heh). I got them as a kit with both lights and bulbs for $70 on amazon prime. You can even get them E-code, which I did. They have the modern hard cutoff beam pattern with the angle up to the right. Here's a link: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G72SKQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00

Nice! I didn't realize they made a full kit. Definitely going on the wish list.

After 3 +years of sitting in the driveway I got my 94 Caprice wagon back on the road this year. Replaced the started changed fluids and cleaned her up.

It's not too different from other Caprice wagons from the outside but if you look inside.

When my 4l60e blew up I swapped in a T56.

It's fun driving a wagon again.

Soft 8s?!
