Howie Long trying in his most condescending sneer at some runty in comparison guy trying to sell me a Chebbie because his C1500 p/u doesn't have a 'man step'. It goes on and on. What ever happened to the likes of Speedy Alka Seltzer or Doris Day in Seein' the USA.

As I said above, thank goodness for a mute button and the major reason that if I do watch the boob tube for a 'normal' 42 minute out of 60 minute show, it's via a DVR or VCR recording.

(sorry, it's my age showing again)

Remember Bonanza when the Chevy line up would be coming at you through the field. As a kid I looked forward for the beginning of the show for the ads.

Back then the style got my attention. I think today there are so many cars that look alike and the foreign companies are trying to out wit each other.

I like the new Dodge Challenger; if I were to by a new car I would really consider that one. Even though I would have a hard time getting in an out of it with my old painful bones.
