so i was on my way home from school today. took me all of seven hours to go 380 miles. on the way i passed a big road sign with the ugly new big chevy truck on it. in text above it, it said, the new hammer. so now i am confused, is a chevy truck supposed to be a rock or a hammer?? either way they are both stagnant, which is a coincidence because chevy trucks are stagnant all across america...

oh and ps, my mom just picked up a 2001 mustang. i think she is srarting to see the light.

I think Ford has the handle on the situation.

Hammer huh? I would have thought it's more like a goofy looking staple gun.

Hammer, because "Ugly brick on a roller skate" doesn't appeal to many.

I've been seeing that billboard too. "New Hammer." What the heck is that supposed to mean?? Gosh, GM is SO stupid...why don't they just get out of the truck market while they have a chance.... Ford has been beating up on them since 1977.

I was watching a the chevy comercial with the guy backing the trailer up into the tight space today and noticed something. ITS FAKE! The trucks jerks from side to side as he is doing it and move very unnaturally. Watch it real closely and you will see what i mean. out can even see it better using TIVO, you can pause it and watch it in slow motion.

They call it the hammer because GM took an 02 and bashed the hell out of it with a hammer to create the new design
