I may be in the market again here in a few months. Anyone have a rust free SWP manual wagon they'd consider letting go around fall?

I miss when forums were active and various car meets were a regular activity. I used to frequent multiple forums that were thriving, and have pretty much nightly car meets. Monday to Thursday were various meet ups around the cities, Friday and Saturday night were cruise nights, sundays were barbeque/grill days at a park. Since about 2018 it seems like the last vestiges of that life have slipped away, as facebook and gen z kids killed forums then ruined car meets through dipshit behavior bringing enough law enforcement attention that the businesses that hosted us no longer wanted to. The death of forums is a blow to every enthusiast, as the wealth of knowledge in build threads, how-tos, and shop/mechanic presence was presented in an easily searchable format, accessible to anyone. Go find that on snapchat, I'll wait. The death of culture came from too many attention seeking tryhards focused more about "clout" and scene points than any love or understanding of a particular type of vehicle. True, diehard enthusiasts are still out there in every age bracket, but the older guys and gals have either moved on or withdrawn to their small circles, and the younger folks are drowned out by the scene kiddies and their rolling monuments of overinflated self-importance. Glimpses of the glory days are still visible if you know where to look, but rather than an establishment of daily life, it seems like these days they're a sliver of a good memory to be grasped at when you find it, rather than something enduring and repeatable. Not to mention that on top of it all, for a lot of people life simply moves on. Interests change, lives change, families are created or increased, financial situations are ever in flux, jobs come, go, move people across the country. Add into this, the ever-approaching death of the internal combustion engine. The automobile as a vessel of freedom will eventually be relegated to an appliance of convenience, ferrying around worker drones to their places of employment. I'd place money on individually driven vehicles being more and more restricted as time goes on. With it, I think automotive culture will lose more and more of its soul, until the flame is eventually all but snuffed out as the passion is restricted to those Jay Lenos and other immensely wealthy patrons of the hobby who will never need worry about restriction. I see no sunrise on this horizon. I hope I'm wrong.

Neither does half the forum probably

Looks like my buddy found what he needed. Thanks!

Let me know what ya got. Prefer rust free, car they'd go on is from Oregon so no rust. Will pay for shipping. Thanks, Derp

Oh hey I'm on elite dangerous.

Nice.

I definitely appreciate all the work LegGTLT and BDII put in keeping this place running. As always, PM both of them with issues.

i'm surprised this forum still shows any sign of knulling life.

Well known in military too.

I'm also super jealous of the mountains.

Meh.

So, yeah. Truk. Thus far I bought front weathertechs, went with LED headlights, did LED cargo lights and rear plate lists, threw a bug-out/first aid kit in, and just swapped the factory tires for BFG KO2s. Still love this thing.

Love seeing your updates, this is one of my favorite builds on this site.

Still a CVT.

You want a sleeper lincoln, get the new Aviator hybrid. 494 hp, 630 lb/ft of torque. 5.5 0-60 from a bigass luxobarge.
