What no Gen 4 wagon?

That Gen 1 looks terrible w/Jeep tail lights. I do like the 90 degree pieces of metal to hold the lamps up. I like the ducttape bumper cover on that Gen 2 too.

The Gen 3 is pathetic. Junkyards sell glass. PulL A Part does too. So instead of removing a few bolts my Grandma could remove, they ruined the back end w/a piece of wood. America.

If you got the plywood, and don't care about the value of the car, it's a free repair

Also, I notice wagons get abused more. Which makes your wagon a bit more unique that it's in such amazing condition, Dennis. I think more so the judges you goto are more impressed, "Wow, a Taurus wagon that isn't dented, ruined, rusted, AND a daily driver!?"

I know I've been mad
Like the most of us, it's very hard to explain why you are mad even if you're not mad.

You know... I bet it cost more money to rig that Gen 1 then it would have to go to PAP and get the correct tails LOL
