Hey jimmie, b i t e me. I mean that in Christian love of course. Yes, she's a little bashfull, actually, I think it just wanted to be a good host, and not show up all those guest Eagles by displaying her awesome awesomeness.

I like the look.  Rough and Ready.  I'm always torn between the no flares and with flares thing.  The little cars look so much taller without the flares, but I do like the way they modernize the cars, too.

Gave you a Good Egg for that.
However, I'm listening, but I don't hear it.  Must be too far away. ;D
Maybe I'll get to hear it next spring.

My 9 yr old girl has decided to lay claim to the Critter. She's been driving it around the place here, and even took it down to the bus-stop to pick up the other kids after school 1 day. With me in it of course. She has a stuffed Eagle toy that she brought out and put on the dash of "her" Eagle to stake her claim.

I hope we get to see the family at least to say hello next time.
Carolyn especially would like to, but I would like to see the youngin's in the Eagles.
You may have lost all the Eagles and the Chebby, too, by next spring!
You'll have to buy some more so you will have one to drive.

I finally cut down the wagon roof rack to go on the Critter. Have never seen a rack on an SX/4, and thought it would be a good spot to get the spare out of the way. I took the wagon rack apart in sections, and it was a little too long, even using only half of it, so I cut 5" off each side. Looks like it will work just fine. Now to order well nuts and pull headliner.

Looks like it will look nice.  Appears to be about the same size as a Gremlin/Kammback one.

The front mounts belong about where they are in the first picture.  Your rack is about a foot shorter than my Gremlin/Kammy ones.  They are basically square dimensions, instead of long or wide.  The wagon ones are long shaped, and that one looks maybe wider than it is long.

It's like having a secret accessory that no one else has found.  Pop-out 1/4 windows on my Gremlin are cool that way.
