Ridiculously obvious advertising tie-ins drive me nuts.

Like GM in Transformers, or Chrysler in the latter seasons of Breaking Bad.

LOL. That's a riot. People buying a new car online! Good one!

I'd love to hear Ron's take on the meaning of the word Durango.

that "stupid baby cow" represents a sizable investment of time and money by that farmer- all of which is lost if that "stupid baby cow" dies... i know every time a calf dies around here, that's about an $800 loss when the rest of them get shipped off to be made into delicious steaks and hamburgers...

Yes. My friend bought his STi through the online sales person attached to his local dealership. He merely told him what he wanted and the salesperson told him how much it would cost. My friend compared it to other online sellers and came back with price. The salesman accepted and when the car arrived, my friend showed up and signed the paperwork and drove home.

No, no, no, he's saving it because he LOVES it! Don't you see him hugging it?

I will say this: That ad works on my wife.

EXACTLY. This guy isn't just mad that $800 ran away, we know this because it's raining and there's sad country music and DAMMIT this farmer's gonna do WHATEVER IT TAKES to save the poor baby cow that HE LOVES SO MUCH and is probably also going to murder for cash in a few years.

Well MY Durango smells of rich mahogany and has storage for all of my 24pack of Miller highlife.

Yea. Quite a few, and I think they haven't released some. Funny for sure, but a waste of money...

I already said it, they filmed 70 of them. How many they will show, who knows, but I'm enjoying them.

It was a deal between the production company and Dodge to trade promotion for promotion. I don't think Dodge even paid him.
