Buf’d Turbo: 1985 Buick Riviera T-Type
The Buick Riviera appeared on the automotive landscape in 1963 as a personal luxury coupe on the E-body platform (later shared with the Eldorado and Toronado), but in rear-drive only configuration. A few decades later and somehow the Riviera managed to avoid the front wheel drive fate that destroyed its friends and there was even a turbocharged V6 version for the ultimate in personalized luxury something. Find this 1985 Buick Riviera T-Type offered for $6,700 in New Haven, CT via craigslist.
The turbocharged version of the Riviera shared its V6 with Buick’s Regal cousin (and the LeSabre had a turbo V6 version too), but the Grand National has a cult following and culty prices to boot. In the Riviera you can get the 185 horsepower 3.8 V6 and not pay a big premium.

Unfortunately, I do believe these are front spin. Still cool though.
Nice Plate Butt Phucked !

that's one interpretation – in the programming world BUFD stands for "big up-front design", which means, basically, figuring out what you want to build then building it
the opposite of that is RDUF or "rough design up front", which is a more flexible, incremental approach – or, i suppose OO RDUF could refer to ones "duff", in certain parlances – it takes a village
