BUILD THREAD A Teenager and His Malibu Wagon.

A man with a grocery getter is familiar in my house. How do you think I get the groceries?

If I had a daughter, I'd be happy you pulled up in an old project car. It tells me 1 very important thing about you. You don't have a drug problem..... no way you can afford it.
Sweet longroof, plenty of room for "activities" in the back 😉

...and if it's ugly but runs reliably, you're demonstrating your ingenuity, skills and persistence.

Haha. My friends and I always joke about the wagon being the drug dealer car because I’ve had multiple people ask if I hot box it.
It’s so true about that though. I would rather fill up a tank of gas and cruise around with some tunes on before anything else

Well, I had to look that one up. Your audience predates you. This is what I heard:

This is what you meant:

Repack your wheel bearings so the first one doesn't happen. Your roof rack vents will help prevent the second one.

Go young man and don't be afraid to ask

I am going to go out on a limb here but I have spare parts for my El C that will fit his ride. If he needs something I have I will give it to him. Anybody else up for the challenge?

Now a Hawaiian hotbox is when you smoke up the bathroom with the shower going to kill the smell. Works great in hotels... not that I would know

When I put the term into my post I even questioned myself if everyone would understand it 😆
Now I’ve learned about the definition of packing bearings for trains!

I don’t really need that many parts currently. Other than a few things here and there.
If I need something you have spare I’ll try to message you and see how much you want for it.
