A fictional car in the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV, manufactured by Dundreary, it is based on a 2003-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis and a 1999-2004 Toyota Crown Majesta. The rear tail lights of the vehicle are based on a heavily altered 1976-1986 Mercedes-Benz W123. Very great for car chases and cruising around Liberty City.
Guy 1: Nice Dundreary Admiral man!
Guy 2: Yeah, bought it from Dundreary in 2006, more reliable than the Vapid Stanier. It's always gotta be those horrible Vapids that can't do their job properly. Has a nice V8 engine.
Guy 3: Heh-heh! Anyways, quick question, why didn't you buy the Albany Washington?
Guy 4: It was too expensive. Although the good thing is, it looks luxurious and has a lot more features/stylish models.

A luxury 4-door full-size sedan in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V/Online, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, while a wrecked and slightly altered variant appears in Max Payne 3. Manufactured by Enus, it is based on the 2000-2012 Maybach 57 and/or the 2000-2012 Maybach 62 with the front having heavy resemblence to a 2003-2011 Bentley Continental/Bentley Continental GT. The taillights and the rear of the vehicle take weird inspirations from the 1998-2005 Rover 75.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, for its size, it is a great performance vehicle in terms of Acceleration, Speed, Mass, Stability, and Damage. With a mass of 2100 kg / 4630 lbs, Top Speed of 93 mp/h or 150 km/h, 5-Speed Manual Transmission, and a RWD Drivetrain, and average brake distance of around 35-37 ft, it is great for your regular ol' cruisin, car chases, car races, and a lot more, including escaping from the Police.
In Grand Theft Auto V, its specifications are the same, but with heavily downgraded speed and major differences. With a more realistic-looking mass of 2700 kg / 5952 lbs, a Top Speed of 87 mp/h or 140 km/h (Downgraded from the 93 mp/h or 150 km/h from Grand Thef t Auto IV), 5-Speed Manual Transmission, and a RWD Drivetrain, brake distance being around 16-24 ft, it is good, if not a little better, for the same things mentioned above.

Also called the 1984 Syndrome (Nineteen Eighty-Four Syndrome) and 1984 Effect (Nineteen Eighty-Four Effect), it is named after the George Orwell Novel "1984". It is where one believes that there is both no individualism and independent thinking because it is being suppressed by the government (Big Brother in 1984) that is controlling them. They also think that they are constantly being watched and monitored by the government through the camera, causing a lack of privacy. It also causes them to believe that language is limited (Newspeak) so that they don't have individualism and independent thoughts. All of this causes them to be isolated from one another and causes self-censorship.
The symptoms include Hyperawareness, Anxiety, Paranoia, Hypervigilance, Self-Censorship, Conformity, Distrust, Social Isolation, Cognitive Dissonance, Confusion, and Perceptual Distortion. In order to get the 1984 Delusion (if it were to exist), then there would have to be one or multiple of these effects: Pervasive Surveillance, Authoritarian Governance, Propaganda and Indoctrination, Fear, Punishment, Limited Privacy, Autonomy, Social Pressure, and Informants.

Man 1: For some reason, my friend won't talk to me. He doesn't speak, he is scared all the time, he is hyperaware, he thinks that the government for some reason which he calls "Big Brother", is watching him, he thinks that there are cameras everywhere, he is always alone by himself, and he even doesn't have or speak any thoughts out of his mouth. Do you know the explanation that causes this specific behavior?
Therapist: A-ha, then he is suffering from something called the "1984 Delusion (Nineteen Eighty-Four Delusion)", also called the "1984 Syndrome" or "1984 Effect". It causes people to think that they are under control by the government and have no freedom in anything, including thinking, speaking, or even language and individualism.
Guy 1: Oh my god! That's so horrifying!

A high-end version of the First Generation GMC Sonoma that was produced from 1991-1992 with just around approximately 3000 sales. It looks like your average truck, but on the inside, it is much more than just an ordinary and dumb pickup truck. It has a Turbocharged LB4 V6 with a 4-Speed 4L60 Automatic Transmission, an AWD and/or Torque Distribution of DATA UNKNOWN, 4-Wheel Anti-Spin/Lock Brakes, and produced around ~280 hp. Only 3 were made in 1992. One of them was used for an IIHS crash test, while the other 2 are privately owned. This thing could go from 0-60 mp/h or 0-97 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, which was faster than a Ferrari and Corvette/Camaro at the time. Not only that, it could do a .25-mile run (Quarter-mile run) in just 13.4 seconds.
Due to its 4.3 second 0-60 and 0-97 time, it is faster than MANY of the current cars that we have, which is just shocking to people like me. Its main competitors were the Chevrolet 454 SS (Higher-End 1988-2001 Chevrolet C/K) and Ford F-150 SVT Lightning Concept, which still had a slower 0-60 and 0-97 time.

"Dude, why did you buy a stupid and ugly truck called a GMC Syclone?"
"Trust me, kiddo, you wouldn't know how good this truck is until you see what it can actually do and what's inside the engine".
"Oh, you're on mister!".
"Wait, IS THAT A TURBOCHARGED V6!?"
"Yup. It also has a 4-speed automatic transmission and can go to 0-60 mp/h or 0-97 km/h in around 4.3 seconds, which during their time, or 1991-1992, was faster than a Ferrari and Corvette. Not only that, it's faster than many of the cars that car companies are currently producing today".
"Wow, I am definitely buying this truck right now".

A fictional car in Grand Theft Auto IV. Since it is manufactured by Dinka, which is based on Honda, it is based on a 1993-1997 Honda Accord along with some cues from the 1994-1998 Nissan 240SX (Or Nissan Silvia S14 for you dumb JDM fanboys). The taillights of the vehicle are inspired by the 1992-1997 Nissan Altima, while the black roof is inspired by cars like the 1989-1994 Eagle Talon and the 1991-1996 Subaru Alcyone SVX.
Particularly VERY common in Hove Beach and Alderney, while uncommon/rare throughout most of Liberty City, it is a very fast 4-door sedan for its class, one of the main reasons why it's so fast because of its turbocharger installed into its engine. It's FWD is also one of the reasons why it's so fast as well, along with stuff like its low mass and high speed/acceleration. These things make it a very good automobile/sedan/car for driving around the city or to escape in car chases from the Police and what-a-not. Curiously, all of the Chavoses that you steal ALWAYS come with alarms.

Guy 1: Nice Chavos man, but quick question, why didn't you modify it like the Russians did with their Reblas, Ingots, and Schafters?
Guy 2: Most of the modifications cost extremely and ridiculously high amounts of money.
Guy 1: I see. Reminds me of when the Russians sold a Modified Rebla for 45,000 Dollars.
Guy 2: Damn!. We gotta talk to em about their prices.
