Racing upgrades are fine if you're racing, but in a wagon that seems ludicrous to me.

Ludicrous is just my style! eventually, skidmark will join team turbocharged (not anytime soon, so standard brakes will do fine for now), but when you can go hard, you need to be able to stop hard.
The Wagon is about the coolest way to go hard in my opinion, and like I said earlier in the thread, this car will be about having cake and eating it too!
I want this thing to be a sleeper, get insane mpgs (when I don't have my heavy shoes on), and be a reliable daily driver that I can load up with groceries or stuff to go camping, and make newer cars look stupid for trying to keep up!
