Rollguy, got any Benz wagons for sale right now?
Sorry, no.  I have only owned 2 wagons (still have 1), and they are hard to find at a reasonable price.  However, if you are looking for one, So. Cal is one of the best places to find one.....Rich

Outside of fixing AMC cars I spend a lot of time with my family, I have 4 kids from 22 down to 5! So that keeps me pretty busy

I also have two jobs, I work for a magazine publishing company  and as a part of that I put on log and timber home shows around the country, so I travel a lot.  In addition my wife and I own and operate two radio stations in our county, we live in a small county so it's not like "big city" radio mind you

In whatever spare time I have I remodel our house, we got a deal on it because it was a fixer upper, 7 years later I'm still fixing it. I'm pretty handy with a hammer, I built custom homes for 16 years before I got on the path I'm on now

I guess my other hobby is checking this forum!

Music is my big thing besides cars.  I'm kind of late getting into the scene, but I sing, play guitar, and bass, and am also taking piano lessons.  Its amazing what a struggle it is to get a band together and keep it together, like a never ending process.  But its a lot of fun when it comes together.

Here is a (crappy) video of one of my bands from back in August, performing a song from back in the days when AMC was going strong

Outside of my Eagle, I am 26 and I reside in Akron, Ohio. I sell New/Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz's and Toyotas for the same dealership I have worked at since I was 16. In the winter, I hibernate or ski. In the summer, I enjoy my two jetskis and 17" outboard (I have to post a pic of that sometime), biking and hiking, and gardening. I can be found reading in any weather, but outside more in the summer vs inside in the winter, haha. The Eagle and work do take up a great chunk of time, however.
My list of my cars/toys (or toys at my disposal!)

1985 AMC Eagle Sportwagon
2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic
1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SL
2016 Triumph Bonneville
1962 Cruisers Inc Mahogany Outboard

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....

That was our emergency song, in case we got to the end of our set list but still had time to play.  That was only about the third time we'd played that song lol
