If you're a long time reader of the Jalopnik car blog, you might of heard of their own custom car in the popular video game Forza Motorsport 3. The Jalopnik car is a 1968 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR. I recently learned Forza offers a VIP car-distribution program for people who purchased the game's collector's edition. So I guess one of Jalopnik's writers must of purchased the collector edition and made their own Jalopnik VIP car. Not a bad way to advertised your blog on a game system!

Coming from one automotive fan, "I was just disappointed that the car isn't competitive in any way shape or form. It handles horribly, has crappy acceleration and no top speed no matter how much power you dump in it."
