Station Wagon is a dirty term.

By Jeffrey the Barak Once upon a time, car drivers who occasionally hauled around a lot of stuff and/or large objects from place to place, bought station wagons. In Europe these were called estate cars, and still are, but in the United States, they were called station wagons, presumably because they transferred goods to and… Read More Station Wagon is a dirty term.

    That’s a tasty one in the picture. I guess it’s the new Jetta wagon. I also like the Matrix and the Mazda whatever it’s called. And the Audi A3 is extra cool, and looks just like this Jetta wagon.

    Which roads are you referring to ? I am in Israel, and here they have become a menace and continue to arrive in greater numbers.
