Hot Rod Buick Wagon
I bought a very nice '94 wagon with 88k miles on it about 13 years ago for $3,200. I added a cat back 2.5" "X" pipe with low restriction but quiet mufflers, a low restriction intake and air bags in the rear. This car had the 5,000 lb. tow package (HD suspension, 2.93 psi axle, HD cooling). It ran great and was very reliable; the only issue I ever had was with the main electrical bus bar. I replaced it with a later model, heavier duty unit and never had another problem. 22-24 MPG on the highway. My son took it to college and humiliated cocky kids driving older Mustang GT's and Camaro Z28's in standing start acceleration contests. I raced a Lotus Exige and hole shotted it so bad it couldn't catch up in two blocks. No tire spin, just a super quick launch.The most surprising thing was how well it handled (police car suspension with the air bags set at 10 psi). I added an A pillar mounted tach and trans oil temp gauge as I used it to tow a 3000 lb. camper. Very comfortable, well controlled ride and cushy velour seats; I wasn't tired after 400 mile trips. I sold it for more than I paid for it after driving it 3 years. Car and Driver's 1994 road test recorded a 0-60 time of 6.6 seconds which was quicker than the same year 1994 Mustang GT. This is a well built, solid automobile that has appreciated greatly over the last few years."Why take a cooler when you can bring the refrigerator"? Quote from a wagon annual get together. A fun car to drive and approaching classic status.

Beats My Wife's Mercedes 380 SEL
I was going to sell my Buick because I bought a Mercedes 380SEL for my wife. After driving the Benz,I decided to keep the RoadMonster. The ride is plush without sacraficing handling. It also feels that it can haul a trailer and take a beating the car sits on a ladder frame, very durable. Power is great with great gas milage on regular fuel. Realize we are talking about a car that weighs 4500 lbs, the Benz weighs 4600 lbs.The ride on the Benz is OK you do feel the road and it bumbs, Europian.If you want to hopup the car look at Impala SS.We've put 45,000 commute miles since we bought it 19 months ago with no major repairs done or in sight.
The land yacht
Love the car! It's a throwback to the big cars of the 60's & 70's. Gas mileage not good but the rise more than makes up for it. It's like gliding down the road.

Best Kept Secret
For the decision makers at GM, start production on this car again. I bought the one I own back in 1994 and it has been performing wonderfully. It's time for me to get a new car and I want another Buick Roadmaster. I like the Corvette engine GM modified and put in this thing, it flies. The prices is right too!
