What's so funny about this? Starting in 92, the Buick Park Avenue Ultra came with a supercharged V6 engine.

Yep, and the Pontiac Bonneville, and the Olds 88 and 98, and starting in 1995, the Buick Riviera. The 3800 Series II supercharged introduced in 1996 eventually wound up in pretty much every full-size FWD car in the entire GM catalog (Except Cadillac).

The Pontiac Bonneville of this era was also available with the supercharged V6.

Actually, Jill, with all due respect, there's nothing funny or that unusual at all about a forced-induction Buick. Grand Nationals/GNXs, Park Avenue Ultras, Regal GS, and some others were built with the excellent supercharged 3.8L V6. And some Verano Turbos, newer versions of the Regal GS, and a number of the smaller Buick crossovers, like my own Encore GX, use three or four-cylinder turbochargers.

To each his or her own.....I respect your view, especially since it is your thread. However, I don't see it as an obsession. I thought it funny that, especially with the shot of the car on too-thin-ice, Some people have to learn the hard way to use simple common sense in the winter, and, fortunately, no one seemed to have been hurt or drowned in that photo. Same with the police-cruiser that seemed determined to get his/her donuts at any cost LOL.

and yeah, a supercharged buick?

we can do better.
See my comments to Jill above.

A "Supercharged Park Avenue"...that's pretty funny.

The 3rd pic is a police car crashing into a donut shop....

But I'm with you - I don't get what's funny about a car falling into the ice, or a Tesla crashing into a fire truck....?

What's funny about a supercharged Buick? If you didn't think they existed, then I could see how you might think it was funny (kind of like when people put Type S, Type R, AMG, or BMW M badges on their base model cars - see below).
