That's some good stuff and it makes sense.
Remember the GM commercial a few years ago touting the overnight test drive and how great it was? GM used a song by a group called Meatloaf; a portion of that song used in the TV commercial used the words "paradise by the dashboard lights". Several people, including myself, happened to remember the words to that song. In particular, later in the song the words are "now I'm preying for the end of time so I can end my time with you"
. Hardly something one wants to think about when they buy a new car/truck; life is so bad one wants to die just to get away from their vehicle. This naturally hit the 'net. I also noticed that the commercial didn't last for a very long time either.
