Check out my Woody

Recommended Posts

Brings back fond memories of the 1970s and "wood grain" being simulated on my dad's 1979 Malibu Classic Estate station wagon with a sticker...that peeled off in numberous places in short order.

 

That was right around the time the American car industry hit dead rock bottom--and they lost me as a customer for life!

Looks like Jeep is bringing back the Grand Wagoneer. Some great nostalgia there for sure, but I already swore I'd never buy anything made by Jeep ever again. Especially their SUVs, and especially at a $70k+ price tag

Not gonna lie, I rushed in here to a massive double disappointment... No pic of your woody and that wagoneer looks like ****! 

 

Have a 2014 Polar Sahara Wrangler but that might be getting traded for the new Bronco... Jeep is ****ing up as much as you did by not posting what I came in here for:cry:

Some neighbors years ago had a woodpecker who kept pecking holes in the siding to live in their attic. They named him and asked if we wanted to go upstairs and see Woody. We told this story to a friend who was with her college age daughter. She immediately turned to her daughter and said “If you are ever asked if you want to go upstairs and see Woody, the answer is NO!”

How dare you.......look at how graceful my very first car looks!

 

COAL: 1988 Chevrolet Caprice Estate – Distinctive Aroma | Curbside Classic

 

Learned to drive in a 77 Pontiac Bonneville Safari....in the early 90’s.  Thing was a beast, and also a fantastic  egg-raid mobile, ha!

 

Powder blue & panels!

 

 

Almost this exact car, ours was a shade lighter blue.

I have always been a Jeep guy, real jeeps, not the SUVs....

 

I was going to get the Gladiator last year until I saw the prices and went F-150 instead.

I had a 4-Door Wrangler a few vehicles ago and I loved it, they aren't the best for reliability as a DD, but they hold their value and breaking a part just means its time to go bigger and better.....

 

As for the ones pictured, I would go with the original but not one of the new ones thats just stealing the name

I didn't say you couldn't....I said you can't do it for anything...

 

I guess being able to hear inflection helps.

 

We had a Caprice wagon when I was a kid. It was dark blue with the wood panels. Great combo; great car. I'm a big believer in 3 row wagons.

 

My dad still had an early 90s Roadmaster wagon up until a few weeks ago when he sold it.

Waste of corporate energy in a company that should join the vehicle revolution.

Let's bring back the IBM 486 baby...

Just awful.  It's funny to watch Dodge put out awesome American muscle and Ram start to really get its ***** together while Chrysler and Jeep just ***** their pants over and over.

Is it still American muscle when the cars are assembled in Brampton, ON, most of the engines come from Mexico and the transmissions on the Hellcats come from Germany?
