I'm thinking of trading this guy for my motorcycle. Not sure why....but it looks kinda cool. It'll have to be pretty nice to do the trade with all the work I've put into the bike. Anything I should look for in particular? I'll probably go take a look this weekend. I especially like the "go to Wally World" part of the ad!:thumb:

Good running family wagon. Go to Wally World! I'm interested in trading for a good beginner motorcycle for my wife, a 250cc ish or a large scooter. Maybe hunting items. Something that doesn't eat, or doesn't need to be insured:) Let me know. Thanks for lookin! Chris 217-1018

w00t, who wouldn't want a family truckster like that.

I'd give it a look over, check what it's rated to tow, 'coz I'd want a towbeast in a big wagon.

After you get it home, it's either time for a turbo /6 or police package 440 :D

Check the frame rails and floors, that's about it.

Drop an LS series engine in, 6 speed manual or auto, turbo it and get 20's MPG with power to burn.

Whattttttt! GM's LS engines rock, better than anything out there, don't weigh a ton, aren't 50 feet wide and you can make stupid power on the cheap, what's not to love. :love:

The Cummins is a good idea, 4bt, :partywoot:

Cheap and easy isn't fun? :confused:

LS series are smaller, lighter, make more power, more goodies from the aftermarket and flat out work.

I need more odd stuff. Maybe if Rob would sell me that government Reliant wagon, then at least it would fit in the garage! Also if I get another car the Hyundai will go bye bye.

Nope, although it is nice having a car I never worry about anything going wrong with. Other than that, I just don't drive it enough to justify having it and the wife refuses to learn to drive a stick.

You better call him. He's planning on selling it, although I don't think it runs. Maybe you can talk him out of the SRT4 engine with the holset on it in the shop as well. His business is struggling this year and he is looking to off some stuff.

Most of the cross breeds around here run good. A few LSX powered fox bodies. 2 240sx with 6.0 6 speeds in them.

I like the old mopar stuff. But I respect something thats bad ---. The lsx engines are just plain bad ---. It's the new hot rod engine. That wagon with a 5.3,5.7 or 6.0 would be awesome. Screw the 6 speed. The only 6 speed worth a ---- that came in a gm was the gto and zo6 6 speed. The ls1 f body 6 speed is garbage.
