@mustang5507: [Rolls eyes] They aren't entering it in the race, therefore it doesn't have to meet the price cap. Besides, they're the judges- if they did have to meet the price cap, all they'd have to do is bribe themselves. Duh.

Awesome ride, guys! Is that the official Jalopnik News Wagon? What's it score on the whaddya-call-it (somebody help me out here... can't think of the name) scale?
I drove the Chevy version of this machine (with the LT1) for about 3500 miles on a vacation road trip a few years back. Fully loaded with people and gear, with a Sears XCargo pod on top, it still returned 25mpg driving 80-plus with the air on, crisscrossing the midwest. I find it odd that on our last road trip in our much newer but no more capable Ford Flopstar, I had to baby it to get 20mpg. Yeah, that's progress.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: A vista roof "whalemobile" (Buick or Olds; the Chevy had a normal roof) is definitely on my vehicular bucket list.

@Mike the Dog will work for a Preview Button!: They're real. My German buddy hunted one down here in the US and shipped it to Germany. It was great driving it before he took it to port. Leather interior, power everything, especially under the hood. A magic pull out cover than conceals the whole back and anything in it. Lots of hiding places for stuff.
He's thinking about getting one for parts, though you can get these for $4k or so in good shape, which I would helpfully keep and drive until he needs to ship it.
@Novaload Misses Murilee: Actually, I knew that. It was a sarcastic jab at the whole stick-on sunroof thing. Apparently I wasn't nearly as clever as I thought I was.
