Burglary suspects drew masks and beards on their faces using permanent marker pen. There was little to disguise what these two had been up to moments before police pulled them over. Would-be burglars Matthew McNelly and Joey Miller's masterplan had one tiny flaw --their 'disguises' comprised of masks drawn on their faces with permanent marker pen. American police stopped their car after a witness...

Some burglars use ski masks others use stockings, but these Iowa burglars decided on something even better - a black permanent marker from Sharpie for disguise! Meet Matthew McNelly , 23, and Joey Miller , 20, who got this great idea to use permanent marker to paint their faces before breaking into an apartment. Police obviously had no problem finding them in a matching car description (were traveling...

We were going to wrap up Top Five QOTD Week with top sports cars, but then Tanshanomi begged for top five wagons and then the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon happened. What are your top five wagons? 5. Buick Roadmaster How sleeper can you get? Wood paneling, b-body styling, a rear bumper that stretches for about sixteen miles. But then what's that sound coming out of the back? Oh, the sound of a 5.7-liter...

Take any decade from the '40s to the '70s and there's at least one American car from that era I'd love to own, with so many classics to choose from: The '49 Buick Roadmaster, the '59 Caddy, the '61 Continental, the '71 GTO. Then you get to the '80s and '90s, and I can't think of a single jalopy from that era I covet. In the amusing but sad " Classic Cars of the Clunker Era? " Wheels Blog...

DAYTON — Jefferson Alcott loves the so-called “Cash for Clunkers” program that takes effect in late July because it will allow him to get top dollar for his gas-guzzling 1993 Buick Roadmaster. “I would not be able to put that kind of money down on a vehicle, or get that money through a regular trade-in,” Alcott said of the $3,500 to $4,500 credit consumers will get through...

A Buick Roadmaster in California, some time in the 1950s. Photographer unknown. The media is still full of reaction to the Flint, Michigan-induced proposal that apparently the Obama Administration is mulling over for tearing down parts of declining cities. See " Bulldoze the 'burbs? " from the Christian Science Monitor , the AP story " Fire moves into houses abandoned by foreclosures...

It's time to park the family truckster and slip behind the wheel of a true American road trip icon, for less than the cost of a Nissan Versa. Oh, and it'll also give you wood. The early ‘90s Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon was a derivation of the Chevy Caprice/Olds Custom Cruiser wagons, sharing the 116-inch wheelbase and 218 inch overall length of these Farragut class destroyers. The 170HP 5.7...

What motor vehicle would best convey the sense of majesty appropriate to the 24 Hours Of LeMons judicial system? As far as we're concerned, there's only one choice: an LT1-powered Buick Roadmaster woody! Granted, The General wasn't using real wood in the 1990s, but that's the only flaw we can find in this fine, 220,000-mile wagon. We're spending the day inspecting these cheaters prior to the race,...
