    Oh how Jalopnik breaks my heart....I guess I'm off to Autoblog from now on. There they appreciate fine discussion, classic cars, and none of this 'rated comments' crap. That or Stileproject, one of the two.

    @JCWhitless:
    [OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: All kidding aside, what are you talking about. What "rated comments"? Do you mean the starred vs. non-starred thing that was introduced last month? Because people seem to have gotten over that quite well. In fact, many have made the change from Minardi to Red Bull already.]

    @Al Navarro: You know who else made 'special' people wear yellow stars? Yeah, I'll be the first to say it. We are all sheeple. Also, I'm only trolling and angry because my car wasn't selected as an awesome pace car. I don't really care about the rates star crap....

    The VW Constellation Pace Truck is from Brazil. F-Truck is a quite popular racing here in Brazil in fact.
    BTW, the Pace truck driver is a woman.

    Great selection. Too bad most of those cars made it into the market only as paint and stripe packages.

    However, I think I was the second person to suggest the Lark.

    I couldn't find this the other day, and I knew, I just knew, that I hadn't dreamed this. Ford GT was the pace car at the 2007 Steeleback Grand Prix in Toronto. This should be in the top 12!
