Don't let your classic get away from you

I sold my old wagon because I want to move to Michigan and marry my girlfriend and have a family. I had thought that selling my wagon was the right thing. You know when you get married and have a family, old classics will take back seat to every thing else.

I just hate that I sold it. I regret it. I still have the buyer's phone #. Maybe I can beg the guy to sell it back to me. Maybe not.

That's not a classic. That's a fishing car. Move on.
 
I hope somebody puts it out of its misery.

IF you're planning on having a family - you need a safe, reliable car with LATCH system car seat fittings and other required safety features.

You're better off getting something 2002 or newer, and forgetting that old wagon ("classic" isn't synonymous for "old")

In this area, it's a used car classification. Cars that are sold real cheap because they run but their body condition is junky. They are great for going fishing with the guys. Nobody worries about tossing the day's fish catch into it, getting it wet or dirty inside/outside, or impressing anyone. It's not the family car. They're actually advertised as "fishing cars."

Hey, this is redneck country, and we do love our fishing and crabbing; those cars are popular here. :lol:

For example:

"I have a 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer for sale. Body is in good shape other than a blemish on the drivers door and a scratch on the back passenger side panel. There is no rust. This truck is 25 years old so it isn't without it's quirks. This is not my daily driver. Not to say this couldn't be a daily driver, it just wouldn't be mine. This is a perfect truck for weekend outings, fishing, hunting, or a good project car in my opinion. "

A real Classic- 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer "Woody"
 
Even if it IS a fishing car, it seems to be important to you ;). I know the feeling of losing what your head perceives as a classic. I sold a 1972 Chevelle SS because I needed money and it needed to be fixed and someone was offering me cash. I lost my baby for $400.
