I think I have seen that piece of property before...but not your wagon. I used to frequent the Knoxville Golf Course there on Schad Rd.
We live in Fountain City, just above the duck pond.
It's always Christmas at our house!
If you come down Schaad to Oak Ridge Hwy and look straight across you can see my mother and father-in-laws house. We live next door in a mobile home. My wife's cousin owns the property right there across the highway.
Right now we have 3 vehicles. My wife drives a 2005 Honda CRV and I also have a 2003 Ford F-150 for sale in the front yard.
Maybe we can get together one weekend soon, I would like to look at your '98 S70. Maybe get some ideas for my car.
Larry

Sounds good. I work as a maintenance tech for ARC Automotive(airbag inflators) and usually work Saturday evenings. If the production runs 5 days, we have to be there six. I'll let you know one day next week when a good time will be. :)

Very good...I can even stop in on the way home one day if you want...I work in Sweetwater and live in Fountain city so it's nothing to drive through your neighborhood.

I wasn't clear in my other post, but I work 2:30-11 everyday. Including some Sundays. :( It would have to be a weekend unless I'm off work for a day.

I had fun meeting you too! Looks like Karns Auto did you right...you've got a very nice (and fast on the low end) Red '97 850...really needs nothing unless you want to start modding it..
