Dogue in teh desert
Today I saw a Station Wagon

Today I saw a station wagon
it was big
it was brown
it was close to the ground

I did a double take
it was not a fake
sweet as cake

It was two tone
white and brown
it was not driven by a clown

I saw it go by
it was flying
with wood on the sides
no lie

and then it was gone
like a song
I would pack a bowl if I had a bong

three on the tree
no, not for me
automatic
not chromatic

15 inch wheels
hubcaps
no mudflats

roof rack on top
spare tires in the trunk
this ain't no junk

I tried to take a pick
but didn't wanna be a dick

watched it roll
slow
down the road

today was the day
in May, if I can say
The station wagon I saw today
 
Ventilators help in the garage when the station wagon motor is running .

Rick and Bob ^ you are both wrong....that is like calling a Banjo a guitar ....just because they both have strings and wood and tuners.
The Station wagon proper was a unique thing intended for families (A subaru is definitely not intended for families). It was replaced by the mini van and then the suv and now the crossover But the Wagon proper was a unique thing just Like a PT Cruiser is not a VW Bug.,
 
If a Nomad isn't available, this will get the job done.

What a beast. Points deducted for no rear-facing bench seat though. I guess those didn't come along until later.

Mom rocked a '79 Century for a while. It was the car I learned to drive in.

Subarus are intended for the kind of families who consider their two dogs their "kids".

I was considering getting an Outback. I need something that can pull a small trailer though and the Outback's biggest engine is right at the limit. I'd rather have something with a little power to spare. I want one of those little Airstream Basecamps.

looks too sporty...too fancy pants....where is the wood? where is the roof luggae rack?
With the exception of Subaru and the Volvo , both of who've been making wagons for ages (not station though)...these new fangled vw, Audi, and the like "wagons" are just the new Crossover...they are a Hip status symbol for Dadcore types.

How about a Porsche 928 station wagon?

From what I understand, they were originally built to be ambulances for the Le Mans 24-hour race. Porsche found, accidentally, that the longer roof-line actually increased the top speed by something like 3 mph.

So no wood, no luggage rack = not a station wagon,
