Best-

by far- The Trunk Monkey

and for the local guys, the old Thomason commercials. where they are talking about the old muscle cars we used to drive "they took slightly more fuel to move than the space shuttle. I mean these cars didn't even have carburetors. just a monkey, under the hood, throwing buckets of gas into the engine."

worst-
by far, the Boots Williams ford commercials when I lived in KC. (KC guys, is that guy still around?)

or any used car commercial where some dork, in a plaid suit with his shoes matching the belt, screaming at me at the top of his lungs at 2am. does he really think that his yelling on the tv and waking me up is going to motivate me to come see him in person. if it actually got me to go to his lot, it likely wouldn't be the visit he'd been going for.

Lol Sorry Sandy.

If it's any consolation, I think Xterras look best in that color.

In all honesty, yellow wasn't the first choice. I bought it late in the model year. Wanted silver, but got to choose between white or yellow.

Mine is silver. Black is also a great color for Xterras.

Ridgecrest, CA.

It's about 90 miles east of Bakersfield, 75 miles southwest of Death Valley.

Middle of gawdamn nowhere.

My current favorite is the Porsche Cayenne commercial where the little kid is eating dinner with mom&dad. He's playing with a green bean on the end of his fork "driving" it through an imaginary canyon road made of mashed potatos on his plate. His dad looks over disapprovingly as he makes engine and squealing tire sounds. In frustration Dad says, "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU...accelerate at the apex!" The kid indignantly responds, "I was, Dad."

All time favorite has to be the BMW films "The Driver" where Madonna is tossed about in the backseat of an M5.
