Some of you guys on the FB page probably saw this but I thought I'd stick it here. If you haven't seen these test drive videos, you should check them out. These are from the same gentleman that did the Unfortunate History of the Pacer documentary, Joe Ligo. He approached me in the spring with an interest to do one of his test drive videos using my '86 Eagle wagon. I suggested we do some light off-roading on a mountain road I used to drive for work, though it was much worse than I recall. He wanted to include my SX/4 but I had it in pieces prepping for AMO. This car is my daily driver and had just taken my brother and I on a trip from Pa to Fl two weeks earlier. Please excuse my dented drivers door and wobbly wheel cover ::)

AH! YOU ARE FAMOUS!!!!! ;D
I saw that right before Xmas! I subscribe to AutoMoments on YouTube and got a notification!
I thought it was AWESOME! Was a great video, great history, and he LOVED your car. I didn't like his take on the woodgrain on garnet red. I believe the Garnet Red and Woodgrain interior is a beaut!
Very cool! I really like that they recognized the Eagle being the first in what is now a common place car style. And even noting that the Eagle was the first with the plastic fender flares!!
Thanks for making your car available for this segment, and thanks for sharing the link. Must see TV!!
It was a fun time. Joe was nice enough to drive to me. The rain added something to it. That's me driving it around the neighborhood and switching the 4WD switch, lol. I wish I would have popped that wheel cover on more securely. It comes loose like that constantly. This was also back before I changed to 3.08 gearing, so it drove like a slug. The mountain road we took was a lot worse than I remembered the last time I was on it.
If you check out the Motorweek 35th Anniversary episode, you'll see my yellow SX/4 in a few shots. That was another cool experience.
