>>My generation had REAL station wagons. Those you all call station wagons now are just “wanna be’s”.
I’m 54. I learned to drive in a1973 Impala station wagon that was so big it had its own zip code! It had the same footprint as a large SUV today, so when I call an SUV a station wagon, I know what I mean.
At 54 you’re just a baby. I’m talking about the wagons we had in the middle 1960’s. Yes, they had their own zip codes. My son was around nine and we hauled his entire band around including a full drum set, trombone, trumpet, and other instruments plus all the kids. Everything back of the front seat was treated as a huge trunk.
