In an age of generally crappy and stupid SJW commercials, that one is just outstanding. I've seen the much shorter version on the TV. This full length one can sure bring a tear to a fella's eyes.

Very very touching story.  I wish I still had friends like that.  <snif>

College:

1950 Plymouth Deluxe (4 door, big back seat.)



A lot of firsts in this car. =D

I think I told the story of letting my totally blind dorm roomate drive it.

This commercial has got to affect anyone who's ever lost someone close.

Whichever marketing person came up with this commercial needs a promotion and a big raise. (I'd be willing to bet it wasn't a millennial wokester.)

There is definitely something wrong with that video,  my monitor gets blurry when  I watch it.   That said,  I wonder if they hired the same company that Publix supermarket uses.  They have a way of getting you where it counts

That's a great commercial.  Almost makes me want to buy a Chevy.  Almost.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I had friends like that once upon a time.

I was running second in points at the local dirt track, nearing the end of the season.  An ahole from another track came to ours, got pissed 'cause I beat him in the trophy dash & put me into the wall on the last lap of the main.  Car was towed off the track with the right front about 2' higher than it should be. 

The next day I was on a plane to San Diego for work.

Flew back in Friday.  One of the guys picked me up from the airport & we drove straight to the shop, I was going to work on it over night.

Got to the shop & at least 10 of the guys I race with were there (family & friends).  They'd covered the front of the car with a tarp, looked like I'd left it - all poked up in the right front.  There was talk they were there to help work on it.

A couple of them pulled the tarp off, dropping the pole they'd used to hold it up in the air.  The car looked like it'd never been wrecked! 

Those lovely sons-of-bitches had pulled the front end & engine, cut off the front clip & replaced it during the week.  All while working their day jobs & working on their own cars.  I won the dash & the main that week.

Sure do miss those guys & gals..........

Cherish them and the memories, Speedy.

You called?

NOTE: From an old FacistButt post:
Quote
To those wondering who the F&#% Alfred Mercer is, FaceButt, in their finite "wisdom," decided that the only name I have ever been known by or responded to, "Speedy," didn't fit their new vision and locked me out of my account for a day and a half, wouldn't accept Federally issued ID with "Speedy" on it dating back to the early 60's and finally made me scan and send them my driver's license and then changed my account name to my "Legal" name. BTW: My bank seems to have no issues taking checks made out to "Speedy Mercer" and NO ONE, including the vast majority of my blood relatives have EVER called me anything other than "Speedy," the name I got by virtue of being born 9 months and 2 days after my parents were wed and the name I have been called since my birth. I WAS "Herohog," the handle I used on the internet, for years then FaceButt decided it didn't like that but they accepted "Speedy" so I could live with that as I never hid who my real name was.
Now ya know who this person labeled "Alfred Mercer" is. Don't bother calling me that though, I am "Speedy," "Mercer" or even "HeroHog" or "Dr Speed." I have NEVER responded to "Alfred" much to the chagrin of my teachers and the US Navy.

I do.  I think of them often - usually when I'm driving the twisty back road to work =)
