1984 AMC Eagle
Used as a support vehicle for years in SCCA rally events, this Eagle Wagon was purchased in Colorado and driven back to Florida. It is used for rallycross and as a daily parts chaser, dog hauler and grocery getter. Future plans include a 4.0 H.O. cylinder head swap and lots of cosmetic work.

We find out what happens when you drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle with different diameter tires on the front and rear axles, with the transfer case not fully disengaged. It’s not pretty.

Even though there is a ton of snowfall in Colorado, salt isn’t used to clear the roads, saving our machine from rust. The dry climate, high altitude, and intense sun have a habit of fading paint though, and our Eagle had the traditional Colorado fade.

The Eagle has landed May 11, 2006
This is going to take some explaining. Ya see, when I first got the bug for an AMC Eagle to do Rally-Cross battle against the invading WRX’s and EVO’s, the one I really wanted wasn’t for sale. This special Eagle lived in Colorado, was a 5spd, 6cyl Wagon (very rare), and had already served as a medical, and chase vehicle in a number of SCCA Rally events out West.

What's this?If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."
Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.
Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.
The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
