Outrage: Olds Bravada to lead Indy 500!!!
Being an Indianapolis native, its been very difficult for me to **admit** that Tony George and the entire Hulman family have completely RUINED the Indy 500. But having just heard that the new Oldsmobile Bravada SUV is going to be the pace car this May at Indy, I just have to say that Tony George and his entire family needs to be shot. WTF? An SUV leading (what used to be) the greatest spectacle in racing? This is a sad sad day, folks. I gotta start working on a plan to get the last 200,000 people that attend that race to just boycott it completely....

On a related note, there are some very good editorial articles on GM getting rid of Olds and why GM sucks so bad. Interesting reading! I thought about getting a Camaro SS until I drove one. Lots o' power but I thought the doors would fall off before I got it home!

Roll it... c'mon that won't happen. you think it will be a stock Bravada? no... they'll put a different suspension in to make sure it doesn't flip.
As far as GMN... when I test drove a Z28 it had more rattles than um... something with alot of rattles.

Tony & Co. fu@#ed up the race a long time ago when he changed the format from turbocharged to non-turbo entries. So the Bravada leading an IRL pace lap is par for that course anyway.
