lol I love that.

But the best one was this:

It only aired ONCE and it was during the 1990s SuperBowl. Nissan pulled it because they thought it promoted street racing. And it was directed by Riddley Scott - the same director of the movies _Alien, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator_ and _Blade Runner_ just to name a few 🙂

Heh, I remember both those commercials but oddly the bits I remember had NOTHING to do with remembering the 300zx. 😉
