I put that same buick regal 3600 Supercharged, into a pole once in the snow while my dad was in Alabama recovering from a Liver transplant. I also drove it to prom. We had a Grad Prix with the same supercahrged motor, but "now with more plastic."

This video was used in a news story :
A driver who killed two bystanders while performing a stunt has received a death sentence from Saudi Arabian authorities. The driver, known as Mutannish in court records, will be beheaded.
His death has not yet been scheduled. Mutannish had been engaged in the Saudi pastime of drifting, making his car spin and skid at high speeds, when he lost control and plowed into a crowd of men. The practice is also known as hagwalah, and also can include purposely driving in the wrong direction. The video above shows an example of the practice.
Mutannish fled the scene and was later arrested, reported the Saudi newspaper Al Watan.
In a similar case, a driver who killed three while drifting was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2005. But the thrill-seeking problem is growing, and many in the Saudi kingdom read Tuesday's harsher sentence as a warning to others.
In its formal report, the court of Onaiza, which handed down the sentence, authorities wrote that beheading was a suitable punishment "for his heinous deed and to deter others who tamper with the nation's security."

1: 3.6L Supercharged FWD
2: 2nd gear went to 85, electrical cut out at 92 or so
3: Longer than the Park Avenue, 2 doors (each longer than a fiat)
4: Absolutely NO suspension damping (drive a hundred miles and you are still bouncing from the bump at the end of your driveway
Still was pretty fun to blow the doors off unsuspecting cars though. It was also completely invisible to police!
Mine was an even uglier blue color.

I actually liked the buick. I hated the grand prix. I remember driving it to NY once and started stuffing tissue paper in the dash to try to get the cheap plastic from creaking.

They're still quick as $hit for stock junker cars, though.
Another great sleeper when I was in HS... my 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited.

yes, i was being literal.
Then I upgraded to a Cutlass Cruiser 2000.
Looked very close to this:
It was silver. I put pinstripe on it with pasleys and gold hubcaps on it along with 2 12's in the fold down rear seat. People thought I was Mexican. I thought I was cool. Now I'm shopping for another wagon...

Quite possibly what they used for the basis of the prop.
That Audi All-road listed is quite the car. Friend's dad has one, bought it brand new for ~$60k or whatever, now they're worth about $6-10k. Great car for the price, twin turbo V6 or Audi's V8.
Edit: Also, I changed my GF's shattered iPhone 4s screen/front glass/digitizer today with a $30 unit from Hong Kong.
After disassembling it, I'm fairly certain that if the Iron Man suit were ever to become real, it'd have an Apple logo on it.
