You are such a wagon guy!

You are correct. The first station wagon I ever had happened because the piece-of-junk Plymouth Horizon I was driving caught fire and burned right down to the wheels -- tires and all. Only place still open that night that had any used cars for sale was the local Ford dealer, only car they had in my price range (<$2500) was a Chevy Cavalier wagon. I didn't even test drive it -- just counted the wheels (it had all four) and wrote the man a check and drove it home.

The thing turned out to be so incredibly handy, with four doors and all that room in the back, that I've never owned any other kind of car since.

Besides, I think the Taurus wagon looks kinda neat! Police never give it a second glance, even when being driven at extralegal speeds. No self-respecting thief would ever steal one, and nobody would ever think to break into one looking to steal a hot stereo.

Audi has a new wagon out that I'd like, too...
