Luckily, you can turn off front wheel drive with a button in the console.

Holy wanna be airplane.

Pretty awesome in a "late 80s early 90s future is here now" kinda way.

The Cessna I used to fly had less going on than that.

I actually dig that.

And I hate 80's digital dashes.

I second that these cars had nice lines. Very individual and recognizable, too. Then again, I've always thought the last of the Cutlass Supremes were pretty well designed too.

Won't the supercharger bits from L67 bolt up?

I spent 20 minutes looking for the scene in "gleaming the cube" where Christian Slater breaks the ignition switch in the trofeo with a skate key. I failed.

I wasted my time trying to find the commercial with Harry Belafonte's kids. I couldn't find the video but here are the words if you want to sing along at home. To the tune of the Banana Boat Song: Troféo,

Trofé-oh-oh-oh!

It’s a new generation and we want a new Olds.

Sequential port fuel injection, anti-lock brakes,

(?) come and they want a new Olds.

Visual Information Center, handles great.

This Oldsmobile is not our father’s,

New generation for the sons and daughters.

Trofé-oh-oh-oh!

This is the new generation of Oldsmobile.

Edit: I did find the Nimoy's selling the dustbuster van http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl7FwcHyNlQ&feature=player_embedded

Ha, I haven't seen one since one of my teachers in high school drove one. He had a red one first, then traded it in on the dark blue.

Dammit!

Someone in my town has a red one in nice condition.

Now I'm looking at craigslist.
