My bad, wrong thread. Sorry!
your core is huge, i think mine is 7" high
Eh... no real cargo options for the P5's to be honest. You'll want a 3 or 6 wagon for stuff like that.
As far as the FS-DE talk goes. You're fine if your engine was built on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Any other day of the week and they are a piece of s***.
That being said, mine has been thru total hell and still runs great. Overheated 2x, flickering oil light thanks to a rusty oil pan, flickering oil light thanks to tri-podding at an auto-x. yeah... engine should have died a long time ago.
Oh... and if you ever get a chance to drive a 535xi wagon, hit it up. I have fond memories of going sideways thru an intersection spinning all 4 tires back home...
Yea, it's big. I tried to mimic the dimensions of the Turbolife core (27.95"x9.25"x3.46") and got pretty close with the exception of thickness.

Seems to be hit or miss then, just like pretty much everything else out there. lol There was always people bitching about the build quality of the Colorado/Canyons on the forums, but I bought mine brand new when they came out in '04, drove the wheels off of it for over 6 years/124k, and never had 1 major problem! I even traded it in on the original brakes! Never pulsated, grinded, anything, so I figured if it wasn't broke, don't fix it?

I'm pretty fond of my neighbor's, his is the sport model with the rocker mouldings, spoiler out back, and maybe a different front cover too, I can't recall. He's got it lowered, magnaflow exhaust, diffferent grille, some gauges inside...he even modded a cluster I gave him to match the light pattern of his gauges. Switched out most of the red for blue. I had to section a front rail on a 6 sedan not too long ago, and they sent a whole used front clip that still had the cluster in it, so I stripped it and gave him a bunch of random parts.
I'd consider them, but they're a little out of my price range right now, not by much though.

sounds like you need to bring your neighbor to the cookout.
when I scheduled my classes i though I made it so I had a nice hour and half break inbetween, nope it's 2 and a half. what makes it worse is there's not much to do here on campus.
I still think one of the best lookin wagons is a P5. They still catch my eye going down the highway. Plus they look really sweet tricked out. I still want one as a DD so I can stop drivingmy MSP so much.
so I'm waiting in the lobby of the building for my next class right in front of the elevator. It is pakced with people getting in and out everytime it stops. A good 10 people everytime. The building only has 3 floors and everyone is waiting for the elevator. You can't blame everything on the Big Mac
I looooove German styling in wagons. I love the BMW's and Audi's. But I would never buy one because I do all the work on my car myself. German cars are a pain in the arse to work on.
I got hooked on wagons when I was really young. I got a light blue Volvo wagon HotWheels and it was the fastest car on the track because it was so bloody heavy. So I guess I fell in love with wagons.

^lol
That is just nasty, in a dirty/good way. The rims are sick too.I love the Audi A3's that's my vote for best looking wagon. Unless you count to old two door volvo's from the 70's
with 2 doors is it really a wagon?
My mom and gf say the same thing every weekend when I'm tinkering on my MSP.

I like american ones from the 40's and some 50's back when they were really creative with designing cars.
My favorite toy car was a Ford GT MK IV, still have it evn though it lost a wheel, Found another one at a garage sale about 7 years ago and bought it. i feel sorry for my future kids, boys or girls, they are playing with my hot wheels. (my excuse to play with them again)
