I have driven past a puke beige wagon sitting on a buy here pay here lot on my way home from school for the past 2 weeks, im thinking of stopping eventually.

my mother and father are looking for a late model car to replace our aged Intrepid(97 model-165k, still runs like a top, trim isnt faring so well though) and they want a 7 passenger car.

my father doesnt like to farm out work and he wants the grand marquis. he also doesnt like working on them too much.

my mother doesnt drive much, and wants to save money and get a reliable older car, but is in love with the pacifica(ie: minivan) styling and space.

im butting my nose in, as this car is supposed to replace my neon when i finish school next summer. i do not wish to drive a mini van to graduate school. i also do not wish to work on a ford(see my recent oil change posting...)

the wagon is a w123 model, i am not sure that it is equipped with the 3rd seat. i will be seeking an MFA in the arts and now that i am almost finished with undergraduate training... hindsight has shown me how luxuriously utilitarian a station wagon would have been these last few years!

so tell me stories, observations, all that stuff. i'll relay this post to mother and let her read about it.
