i'll tell you something i found out about woody's.under that wood is alot of imperfections.we had an early 80's chevy diesel wagon.some of the wood was peeling so we decided to remove it and paint it one solid color.3 of the 4 doors had putty under the wood covering up dents and scratches.

That guy really does have some beauties! Not unlike that Mercedes flipping hippy thread. Priced accordingly!

If you're having difficulty getting a woody, there's always Viagra!

Maybe you'd settle for a Mercury Grand Marquis woody wagon from the 70s-80s? I looked at one before I bought my Subaru XT. The feeling the steering wheel was connected to nothing was disconcerting

They're designed to that a ship captain can drive one and feel right at home.

I suspect that Tyler has too much class but I'm not above one.

I breifly dated a girl in HS that had a mid 90's Jeep Cherokee square looking thing. That turned me off to Jeeps forever, what a POS. It had an I6 that was good, but I have never seen an engine leak as bad as that thing did. I swear the guys who built it just left all the gaskets out.

It had about 1/2 an inch of oil crust on it. She asked me to look at it to see what was leaking, and after a few minutes I said, well it looks like the valve cover is the only thing thats not leaking. She asked me how to fix them and I said the best way is to trade it in on a good car. One year later she got a CRV.

Also none of the electrical stuff worked, and it sucked down gas like it was free.

I'd get a good truck, like a Toyota.

No kidding, MOST V8 pickups/big vehicles suck up gas like people own their own refineries (heck, even the 6cyl models do!)....I just don't see why people do it. "Here I am sitting in traffic or going 35mph down a crowded roadway.....do I really need 400hp available?" I'd much rather spend my money elsewhere than at the pump.

I've been by this place many a time. They always have a nice selection out front. The place is clean, looks to be a well run business. Never stopped, old Jeeps not being my thang.

It needs to be at most a days drive away. I got sniped out on this one in the wee hours of the morning.

Other than the horrible running boards, it is a nice one.
