Our old wagon
« on: February 14, 2014, 03:20:54 PM »
A few years ago Skeezix and I took the wagon to a local show.  We even got a second place - we were one of only two AMC products there :)  Sold the car but have kept the memories.  Wish I didn't sell it but there were things going on that meant changes had to be made.  Now I am on the hunt for a special Eagle, when I find it - look out.

That was one good looking bird.  Hope you find another in as good of shape soon.
How is Lisa doing? I think about her often.
Good luck in your Eagle hunt  :)

I really enjoyed that wagon  and almost bought it back when it was on Evil Bay a few years ago.   Lisa has had her ups and downs with a couple of close calls but things are holding steady at the moment.  She has gone through three major surgeries in the past year and we laugh that she has no more "spare" parts to lose.  We keep waiting for that medical breakthrough.  There is something on the horizon right now that has a lot of promise but we don't know if it will get to market in time for her.  We do what we can.

Thanks so much for asking.  It is nice to know that people remember. :hello2:

Sorry to hear about Lisa and pray for the best for her and you both! Hope you can at least find a cool Eagle and enjoy several more good years in it!

She kind of makes me think of my GF and what the two of us may be doing some day with my Eagle!

This is the only good picture I have of her with my old Eagle. We'll have many more with the new one once it's out of the shop! :)
