My 1995 Voyager Sport Wagon:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And my 1995 Acclaim:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

If I could find either one I would likely buy it back. Oddly enough I think I miss the Sport Wagon more than the Acclaim......

Are those OZ Monte Carlo wheels on a minivan?

Nope, factory wheels for the Sport Wagon.

The Monte Carlo had minivan wheels seeings the Sport Wagons came with them as early as 1992. ;)

Funny, I was just pining for the first two cars that I owned, thanks to a ‘65 Skylark that just popped up on BaT.

Love both of these builds, but it’s the Acclaim that jumps out at me - love the paint work as well as the rest of that build!!

Was just thinking about the van today, then I realized how much I actually miss it.

Wow. I love both of those. I’ve seen plenty of pictures of your vans and the Acclaim, and I saw one Oppo post where you were swapping a van, but I didn’t know just how deep this went!

If you haven’t, submit that sport wagon to the Build of the Week thingy on Jalopnik. It would make the anti-van crowd so mad.

I’ve never actually properly sold a car. A couple went to junkyards and/or donated to fire departments for jaws of life practise. But the prospect of selling the Saint has me feeling kinda weird. Even though I  don’t like it, and haven't ever really cared for it that much.

Some cars don’t bother me much once they’re gone. Something about these 2 keeps eating at me.

Where do those get submitted? I’d throw all 3 at it just for fun.

I absolutely love 90s Mopar. They’re cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, cheap/easy to modify, and hella reliable for me.

We’re featuring the coolest project cars from across the internet on Build of the Week . What insane build have you been wrenching on lately? Drop me a line at stef dot schrader at jalopnik dot com with “Build of the Week” somewhere in the subject line if you’d like to be featured here.

They usually drop the articles on Fridays, but there wasn’t one last week.

I’ve been thinking about buying a Neon and doing some stuff to it to have a fun Rallycross toy (that I would not be competitive in due to lack of skill), but college first.

1st gen’s are so cheap. Just watch out for headgaskets and get an oil pan with baffles if you do a lot of autocross. I knew a guy at Chrysler’s warranty center that ran one and apparently his cornered so hard he starved it of oil and spun a bearing or two.

I didn’t even know such a thing was possible, wow.

Email sent. We’ll see if any get used.

Good suspension, light car, and sticky tires make for lots of G’s in the corners
