Obviously it’s fake, but they could have done a better job at making the commercial. Like using the right year camaro for one lol, having jeff gordon actually drive the car. but we wouldnt know if he was actually driving seeing as the camera was pointed at the passenger seat. im sure jeff gordon could do the “stunts” in the video. i could see using a different driver for the part where he drove up the ramp. ---

I posted it up a couple days ago.

Nope, apparently fairgentlemanz wanted to compare my car to a “09” camaro which wasnt released in 09. Also people getting butt hurt when jokes are thrown about NASCAR and making right hand turns and racing in the rain… all sarcasm but some didnt seem to get that. lol ---

The fact the Jeff Gordon was too much of a pussy to do his own stunts just finishes the deal. im sorry, i didnt know that all ads / commercials that promote products were all real life instances :dunno: and i imagine a big part of why jeff was only in part of the commercial is that it was alot less becks to pay him compared to if he was in the whole thing. fucking r tards. what the fuck. ---

there is a big difference between parody and representing something as true. Let’s call it what it is, Gordon gets his makeup done, then goes home. If I raced with him there would be endless shit for this, there weren’t even any dangerous stunts. what ever happened to men being men? If I was Gordon I would have shown up and been like “WTF is this, get rid of this V6 automatic and bring me a V8 manual” “that guy’s driving? wrong, I’m driving” “some actor screaming? no way, get me a real salesperson, I’ll make him piss himself with no acting”… and so on… ---
