On a lighter note have you seen............

All the discussion lately has been kinda serious so I thought I would try and lighten it up. I was watching tv and saw two new toyota commercials. On the first commercial two toyota's drive into a field and seem to tear up planted vegetables or something and then push a tractor trailer over a hill then a ford pulls up assuming the owner of property and then the two toyota's drive by on each side slinging mud over it. On another commercial it shows a toyota dragging a ford truck actually the same one as in the first commercial up a dirt road. I am not gonna knock toyota cause they are known for dependability but man they are really giving it to ford. I kinda got a kick out of it, thought it was a in your face approach to selling trucks. Anyone else see these??

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 21-Sep-01 AT 01:04 AM (EST)[/font][p]Well, I haven't seen those yet.

I don't really like that approach to advertising. Tear up a farmers field, then just sling mud all over his pick-up? That is going a little to far if you ask me, even if it is just a commercial.

Personally, I'm not to impreseed with Toyota's pick-up line. they are way underpowered, might come close to a 4-6 cylinder. They are far from full-size. Sure, if you can accelerate real fast, does that mean you can accelerate real fast(or even accelerate at all) with a big load?

just my $.02
