      One one hand FWD does not a good rally car make, but on the other, can you put a price on rallying for 8?

        Tell that to the guys at Saab.
        Of course, I wouldn't argue with this guy starting with an AWD Pontiac 6000 instead.

      This guy gets A+++ for execution.
      Strangely, that car looks good with those wheels.

        Yeah, I can't seem to wrap my head around why, but it works.

          I think it is because it is a wagon, maybe

      Nothing says "I don't give a f*ck what people think about me" like building something like this. The execution isn't half bad, but why would you want to do this to a FWD wagon? Oh yea, meth… and I thought Indiana had the market cornered.

          Riverside County used to be the Meth capital of the world. San Bernadino County was trying to get that title when I moved to Michigan. Large expanses of desert and plenty of old trailers lying around make for easy-to-hide meth labs. Until they blow up.

          I just know that I see 3-10 arrests per week for meth here in my corner of northern Indiana. They caught some guy with a mobile meth lab on a moped the other day. I wish I had pictures of that.

            My brother moved near Indiana Beach to open a restaurant. Within 2-3 days of moving his entire family to the town, some hillbilly self-immolated in a Wal-Mart parking lot while cooking up a batch of Meth in a clapped-out camper-van. 4 years later, he says it's perhaps the most appropriate welcome mat the area could have rolled out.

      Who among you can think of something BETTER to do with an '88 Buick Century Wagon?

        Me. It involves a large can of gasoline, a pack of matches, and my next door neighbor's cats.

      Pretty cool if you ask me. I would enter it in a rally or autocross if it would pass inspection. The Ricers and dudes in flat billed Monster Energy ballcaps out here in SoCal would crap their pants.

      I take it this is Buick's attempt to corner the youth market.

      California Rally Series has a class for sub-$5k vehicles…mostly full of 80s VWs or Volvo bricks.
      This would be a fun candidate.

      I just realized, the rest of the world is mocking this guy for making a rally car replica with a Buick wagon. Us Hooniversalists are jealous. We are an odd bunch.
      Wait, maybe we're normal and everyone else is wacked out.

      I'm in Wisconsin………but there is no way in HELL I am buying a Buick FWD wagon from what looks to be the early '90's if it has lived its life in Wisconsin. I can lock solid guarantee the underside looks like the rusted pits of gangrene crap.
      No……I'll save the money and build my own on a rust free chassis if I wanted to go rally.

      The cake is a lie, but the Monster is strong with this one. Put some oomph in the motor and I bet you could convert a few nonbelievers….
      …But sadly, it is still a Buick, which means the Ironymeter will not be pegged until this car holds up traffic in the left lane.

      Clearly you've never been to Wise County, TX. It's got to be the meth capital of the world.

      I am currently going to college in Houghton MI (in da UP, eh) which means I'm about four hours from Green Bay and at Ground Zero for what used to be the Lake Superior Pro Rally. I soooooo want this, but the escorts need my love and money right now 🙁

        I think this wagon would be an excellent vehicle to transport your escorts. They could probably use the room for all their stuff as you take them from engagement to engagement.
        Wait…… um… what?

          I like it – rally the scorts and and use this as the support vehicle. That's what you meant, right?

      This just might be the coolest Celebrity wagon on the road. Or off the road, for that matter. Nice execution.
      The only real issue I see is those driving lights are awefully small, and there is no roof vent. I don't want to get too hot driving me and 7 of my friends through the 100 Acre Wood.

      I actually thought it was a Volvo at first glance.
