Michigan Eagles
« on: February 22, 2012, 01:59:30 PM »
Just interested to see where all the eagles are in Michigan. My 85 sedan and I are up in traverse city. I have seen another sedan in traverse just recently. A brown one over by best buy. And two or three years ago in the parking lot of the blue tractor I saw a brown wagon. I haven't been able to find the drivers of these eagles. If there is any one near traverse city we should get together and check out each others rides.

Finally Northern Michigan is getting some much needed snow. I dont know why but I have always loved seeing my cars covered with a thick blanket of snow. This is after just an hour or two of being parked. We had some pretty intense thundersnow today. Its not everyday you get snow and lightning at the same time. We have 12 to 18+ inches in the forecast for tonight and where I am at its usually the larger number. If im not running too late in the morning maybe I will take a few more pictures.

You need some nice full car shots of the Sedan so I can nominate it for Eagle of the month! Looks good covered in snow!

Grand Rapids. I know of three other Eagle's in my area. Two are drivers and I see them now and then, the other is parked and I keep watch that it doesn't move.

I hope you don't mind there JayNaga, but I put you in the 'Eagle of the Month' - We're doing 4 door eagles this month, and I like the way yer eagle sits, so I posted one of your pics above.

That first pic there (the perfect side shot) is awesome.  You might not have thought to put her into 'Eagle of the Month' but I've always loved the look of the 4 door eagle. 

The picture is perfect.  got it here:

http://forums.amceaglenest.com/index.php?topic=38127.15

I've always thought they look sporty, rugged, able... I don't know, I just really like the look of them.  Now when they're sitting up like this, they look even better.

The 4 door eagle was my first choice to get, but I came across my wagon it was too cheap to pass up - Plus it was running.

Upper peninsula, near Marquette.  Not a true yooper though.  I know of 2 or 3 other eagles in the area, although I have not seen them driving around ever.  I wish they were on here.
