I dunno, man... our boy is looking for space, versatility, and something unique to pick up some trim. This side of the A-Team Van (sure it's got BA, but no AWD, unfortunately), I don't see anything that fits the bill quite like the Eagle.

We had one when I was little (brown/beige, featuring plaid cloth seats w/strategically placed steel chrome buckles directly under-thigh - perfect for those 110 degree Dallas summer days!). Sure, it was a beast, but it weren't no BMW/VW/Rover/Volvo Panzy-wagen, either.

Just the kind of ride you might see parked in front of Ships.

I split this off of the discussion of srivendel's choice of carry-all vehicle found in OTM Tech & Chat - Beano

If you like the cheap beer and you don't mind hanging out with a few winos, Ships is the place to be... :thumrigh:

They even serve food! Um, that is, if you're in the mood for a sack of Fritos...

Chances are, though, our lawyer friend would not be hanging out there... *snif*

Sounds like joint I used to hang out in the alley behind the ol' CBS affiliate I worked at...

The Pine Knot was it's name... cheap beer and alright music... a good combo.

Kind of a beating if you've gotta drive home to Frisco, but hey... it's worth a look. I'm a big fan... just beware that the owner has a thing for Roy Orbison and the Kingston Trio, and if he's there he'll hog the jukebox.

Good times.

Good times.

Might be worth a trip after work though... not far from downtown D.

Sorry, I guess I meant to say that I work not far from downtown D.

So still a good thing... ::Banana::

Gotcha. You are correct... not far at all from Downtown D. Ross and Greenville.

Who's up for cheap beers!

You don't have a small trailer and a couple of lawn chairs?

Never thought I'd see Ships talked about on here. They've got the best jukebox in Dallas and cheeeeap beer. It's a nice departure from the Greenville crowd.
