a new road danger
Was at a friend's place, they had a TV (that's my excuse, I'm sticking to it). Saw an ad for a new landbarge, some Nissan thing, with some bloke hosing it off and them some woman getting into it to barge around town. "the 4wd for the city" or some crap. So there's the Toyota playdoh, and now the Nissan "urban asaulter". *sigh*. Maybe some turd in a Humvee (the ultimate "**** the world, I don't care" vehicle) will crush them all, and then run out of money to pay for fuel and they'll all disapear? One can but hope ... |

That add ****s me as well - it actually says that this is the vehicle to convince all those people who thought they would never drive a 4WD in the city. WTF are they on? Why are they trying to convince people to drive a 4WD in the city?? (rhetorical question - I know the answer is that they just want to make money any way they can) |

Why are they trying to convince people to What are they on? Capitalism of course. They want to sell more stuff. Never mind the consequences, they don't have to wear them, that's someone else's problem. Welcome to the Free Market. Now... if the damn things weren't subsidised all ways to Sunday so drivers had to pay the full cost, might be different.... take more to sell them than a bit of wish fulfillment.

I assume you just wanted to emphasise the point.. |

Saw it too, thought it was crap. But on a lighter note, in the same break was the new Tooheys advert, the one where they're lobbing stuff into the air with trebuchets. Now *that* is a great advert! Mind you, I can't work out why those two women get thrown into the cloud, maybe they just wanted rid of them? Graeme |

I wouldn't hold your breath for it. The auto industry seems obsessed with producing larger and larger tanks that guzzle the fuel remaining faster. We all know this will end in disaster but they don't seem to be listening. Meanwhile, I continue to ride, assuming I don't tangle with one of these overbearing monsters. Cheers, Ray |
