ran into one at wal-mart (not literally)
« on: November 06, 2012, 01:32:33 AM »
well about 30 minuets ago i went to walliworld to get some stuff and somehow managed to park right across the lane from another Eagle wagon without noticing it altough they did notice me when i went past them as they were coming out of the store. the car is identical to Survivor but is a 86 it looks to be in good shape and is owned by a young couple with a couple of kids. i told them about the nest so hopefully they join the nest. sorry no pics as it was dark and my phone doesn't have a flash on it.

Same Here

I have been enjoying my daily driver 82 Limited Eagle for the last 3 years and cannot remember seeing another for years.  Especially in this heavy snow time of year.

Still get thumbs ups etc. frequently.

I know this is an older thread but seeing as I found yet another Eagle wagon at walliworld (this time an 84) I figured I should post about it here. I come out of one of the lanes looking for a spot to park and all of a sudden i'm starring at the front end of another Eagle I hurriedly find a place to park and proceed to make a beeline for where they had just parked. I caught them just as they were getting ready to get out of the car. I got to talking to them and found out that they have had their Eagle for almost ten years. they even mentioned how exited they were to see another Eagle. I told them about both Eagle forums, and believe they will be showing up at at least one, seeing as they made a point of writing both down and then sticking it in their wallet. they let me take a couple of pics for you guys so here they are guys enjoy.

I walked out of Tractor Supply about a week ago and thought to myself "Holy cow, it's an AMC Eagle!" Then I realized it was mine.  ???
