Our friend Gregg at WreckedExotics, just sent us some pictures and a video taken on the set of a video commercial where a Pontiac GTO is wrecked whole landing in the street of San Francisco... Bullit style!
We have no idea yet who is behind all this but the poor GTO certainly made its last jump. The video shows how both stunt men can barely control their car after the landing. Let’s just hope it is not a Prius commercial showing the death of the V8!
Who said women can’t drive? This latest Mercedes SLK commercial from China wants to prove the contrary! She’s hot and a good driver! Are you interested gentlemen?
It seems that this new Subaru Forester ad is a new prof that "men can’t pose!". But we have to admit the idea was pretty cool and considering is coming from Japan... well, enough said, no?
