It was in Cruis'n World back in the '90s.

The official car of the supercharged family: Buick Regal GS.

It didn't officially appear in Midtown Madness 2, but an acquaintance of mine made a Pontiac 6000 STE years ago using textures based on my car.

Edit: Damn it all, Nibbles ruined my post. Carry on.

Maybe I didn't read closely enough, but I didn't see anything about the transmission your lowest-common-denominator fail-safe car share special has.

One of the Maharajas of India rolling through Jaipur in his 1933/1934 Rolls Phantom II with a much younger Queen Elizabeth II, early 1960s I believe.

Stutz Bear, one of 46 converted Suburbans built for King Hassan of Morocco and for the Royal Guard of Saudi Arabia during the 1980s. The vehicle pictured is one of the Royal Guard vehicles and not the king's 6-door limo. http://www.madle.org/esub.htm

My '85 6000 STE doesn't have a low fuel warning as far as I know. It has a digital fuel gauge that shows about 16 or 20 or so green bars on full.

1933 Rolls-Royce woodie. I saw this car at the 2009 San Diego International Auto Show (my pictures didn't come out well, luckily someone on Flickr took a better shot at a different event). Allegedly the owner got tired of maintaining the original powertrain and swapped it out, the original is still in their

That's what I was going to say. Hard to beat a cop's personal vehicle for subtlety. Except in the movies, where they drive green Mustang fastbacks or custom black Monte Carlos or giant GMC duallies.

They're very 1970s Olds Cutlass, which was the best selling car in the US during that era. Hipsters like irony, right? But they might not like that it's been done before to great success with their parents.

I had something happen that involved a similar cast of automotive characters but a different setup and place. This was about 3 years ago. I was driving my grandmother home to Oakland in her 2002 Prius on I-80 traveling through Berkeley, I think we were approaching the Ashby Ave exit in the left lane. At rush hour (or

Here's one I made a few years ago. Card stock, transparency film and foam core. Full interior and rolling metal axles. 1/18 scale. Because El Camino.

I had a friend in high school who owned a copy of Corvette Monopoly which came with a '53 roadster, '63 Split-Window, '68 L88 convertible, '90 ZR-1, and '98 C5 convertible. Johnny Lightning also did a Monopoly series of 1/64 diecasts years ago that came with game tokens that matched the car you bought. I have a 3rd

Saw one at the Sinsheim Auto & Technikmuseum in Germany in 2009. Wonder which of the German owners it belongs to.
