Re: Anyone seen the Commander Commercial?
Which would be why most car commercials on TV has a fine print
disclaimer at the bottom "Professional driver. Closed course. Do not
attempt."
I've never understood why manufacturers allow ad companies to show their
cars sliding _sideways_.
My favorite TV commercial disclaimer, though, comes from a SUV ad
several years ago. A 30-ish mom is cruising a shopping mall parking
lot, looking for a place to park. She spies one way over yonder, and
notices a Lesser Vehicle heading for it. She kicks in FWD and does a
little suburban off-roading over curbs, parking islands and shrubbery,
and manages to cut the other driver off at the parking spot. Suburban
Victory! The disclaimer read "No parking spot is this difficult to get.
OK, so maybe they are, but don't do this anyway."

Re: Anyone seen the Commander Commercial?
Yes, I remember that one ! I'm not sure of the brand but I seem to recall
the heroine was one of the new Korean SUVs. What was the usurper vehicle?
Was it a Kia Sportage perhaps?

DANG! For $50k, it would cure almost any kind of fever.
