Wagon Stoke

I’ve been going halvsies on most of this stuff, because you’re gonna go pick up your little sister from volleyball practice from time to time and etc.

Google has certainly been searched. No wrecking yards around here.

There is this service called UPS...

[twomartinis]

I know I’m raising them right when their first requirement for a car was one that they can comfortably sleep in. It was funny going for test drives and having The Kid fold down the back seats and lay down back there. Some owners were like, WTF?! Dirtbags unite!

shit, I did this at a concert in VT not long ago. I have a double 2” piece of upholstery foam cut2fit the back. cheep insurance for those good times that go overboard!

I have a piece of plywood down under carpeting. I keep a blow up (mattress) in the storage under the floor for when it's needed. This is before I got the plywood

M5 Touring comes the US. This has to be peak wagon for us right now, yeah? RS6 Avant, M5Touring, Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo, E63 AMG Wagon...

I'd like a RS4 Avant and the standard Volvo V90 longroof back in non off-roady form if we're getting greedy about things.

[plugboots]

That is a crazy ass car. $122k, 5500 lbs., 0-60 in 3.5, (25 miles e-range?).

[utagonian]

No more e63 or Sport Turismo.

Disagree.

It’s been a great run recently for Uber-wagons, but ‘peak wagon’ would be a wide range of great, affordable models to chose from. This ain’t it.

ETA: To be clear, I still love all the Uber-wagons.

that's one sexy ass grocery getter

Agreed. Just look at what Europe has. Give me a big wagon with a 300hp+ drive train, likely some hybrid system in it for the AWD and diesel for the MFW.

Peak wagon was 1970-73. 428s, 440s, 455s, Muncie 4 speeds that you could fit 9 people or a stack of plywood sheets in. Now you get 4 or 5 if 3 are small, a bag of groceries and a 12 pack.

I mean shit. I’d love a Cadillac hearse right now.

Speaking of which, I saw a Lyriq the other day. I could get used to driving one of those.

The family truckster is alive and well in Saratoga. The leash is still on the bumper.

Bit too rich for me with that many miles and no V8.

Bit too rich for me with that many miles and no V8. You're going to be spending the rest of time replacing bushings.

Manual S6 Avant? Yes plz.

Just here to say … did an impromptu 9 hours in the allroad last week (flight cancellation bs). Averaged ~80 (which is around 1500 rpm btw!) at 34mpg. Jesus fuck this is a goooood car.

I ran to the beach and back this weekend and the particular segment of my trip is I-16 where the average speed is 85mph+. The allroad just sips gas at that kind of a clip with all the bells and whistles like lowering the car, uncoupling quattro, etc., and my wife was nowhere near as impressed as I was at the 35mpg I was averaging. Her loss I guess.

[gravitylover]

That Rover I had was at its best at 82. It just floated along and got ~25 to as much as 27mpg but that fell off a cliff as soon as I got to a town and brought it right back to ~17.
