I have always been a fan of non-domestic station wagons (I don't know why), so I'm interested in finding out who else minutely shares this strange interest. Who here owns/drives a wagon? Submit links of any sort or post pictures of your family hauler.

Here's a site that I came across a while ago: a.w.c. (http://www.accordwagonclub.com/)

Pictures of my other ride:

I have also fallen in love with wagons over the past year or so...specifically MK4 Jettas...with some simple mods you can have a really nice looking car :D People might think you're weird for having a wagon but who cares what they think :D

Cool....I didn't think I'd get this many responses so quick. As far as the V6 goes, I wouldn't have bought it if it was a 4cyl. I was orginally in the market for an Accord wagon, but couldn't find one that was in the right price range and condition that I wanted. Along came this V6 with low mileage and right price so I thought I'd give it a try. I kind of regret that I didn't wait for the right Accord to come around though. There's not much, if any at all, aftermarket stuff for Camry's yet alone wagons. I'd be happy just to find lowering springs and maybe a set of wheels.

I think I'm going to cut the springs this weekend. I dont' feel like spending $300 on springs for a $500 car. This was my inspiration:

AWSOME, i love volvo's of that generation


wagon's and sedan's are awsome for utility and can make quite the sporty ride as well.

That's why I bought this one. It's got a lot of potential. Once I get my Teg back on the road, I'm going to play around with this wagon. Check this place out if you like the Volvo's:
http://www.turbobricks.com/

It looks like most of the people that build these cars manufacture a lot of their own parts. None of this bullshit like $1,200 for mass produced Honda cams. My personal favorite is the dual sway bar idea:

HAWT.

Some wagons look awesome, I'd rather have one over a minivan anyday. That MK4 jetta wagon is probably what I'd get. :drool: When you say you like station wagons people usually give you that funny look lol.

Found some accords:

I'm trying to find a pic of my buddy's black B3 Passat syncro wagon that RPI swapped a VR6 in to. I was pretty damn low with some clean 17's on it. That thing used to make me drool.
