The station wagon is the ultimate family vacation mobile. Vans have the carrying capacity but just don't cruise as smooth.

I think the ideal is about three vehicles: a pickup for cargo hauling, a nice sedan, maybe a Maxima, for people hauling, and an XKE....

What I have is not exactly ideal....

Depends on just how much is 'middle.' But the XKE is ideal, irregardless:

Nice. Always loved the XK series just never had the scratch to ease the itch. I did indulge myself with the MGB for several years. I even swapped a set of knock off wire wheels for the steelies. It improved the ride tremendously. Fun times. Now I drive a pick up.

Station wagons are becoming 'cool'. I've got to tell my dad - he was ahead of the curve

We had a TC for a while, Hugo Boss (?) mebbe with the Windsor. Nice car until it started turning into a money sink. Same problem with the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow project car we had, both gone now.
