Anyone seen the Commander Commercial?

I've seen it ... I wanna go too! Just think, I could forget packing my regulator next vacation.

How do you suppose they navigate? Side thrusters?

Just imagine if one of the kids opened a window.

You guys missed the part about, "Closed course with professional drivers, DO NOT try this at home."

I will look harder for that, but you know the fine print at the end didn't say that....

Honest - and just when I was wanting to buy a black one and be a U-boat commander!

You ol spoil sport.

Ok, so now, if I bought one, and went out into the ocean to look at fish, and it sunk and I nearly drowned How much do you suppose it would be good for?

You KNOW this is going to happen, right?

Has anyone looked at one of these? They aren't much. If you raise the back seat, you cant see out the rear window. When you open the gate, if you aren't careful to jump back, it will decapitate you. The only redeemingquality I saw was the vents in the dash, something with full control.

I wasn't gonna try it at home, I was going to take it to the pacific coast. I could just drive on in at the jetty in Monterey and cruise on down the coast line a ways. Maybe visit the few wrecks in the bay and go to the marine sanctuary at Point Lobos.....

that's nowhere NEAR home!

rats!

I believe the shysters would claim it was "an implied warranty" that the vehicle could be used as a submersible as it is advertised as such the barely readable disclaimer withstanding.

How much would you have to pay Kalifornia, for the privilege of owning a fifty thousand dollar car there? I have seriously sworn off new cars, unless they come out with one that has guaranteed survival of occupants in a

I wondered when I first saw it if they weren't opening themselves up for a law suit, get some yuppi that has being watching other people with snorkels drive though 3' of water and have him think he can do it too, he saw it on TV.

Which would be why most car commercials on TV has a fine print disclaimer at the bottom "Professional driver. Closed course. Do not attempt."

I've never understood why manufacturers allow ad companies to show their cars sliding _sideways_.

My favorite TV commercial disclaimer, though, comes from a SUV ad several years ago. A 30-ish mom is cruising a shopping mall parking lot, looking for a place to park. She spies one way over yonder, and notices a Lesser Vehicle heading for it. She kicks in FWD and does a little suburban off-roading over curbs, parking islands and shrubbery, and manages to cut the other driver off at the parking spot. Suburban Victory! The disclaimer read "No parking spot is this difficult to get. OK, so maybe they are, but don't do this anyway."

Yes, I remember that one ! I'm not sure of the brand but I seem to recall the heroine was one of the new Korean SUVs. What was the usurper vehicle?

Was it a Kia Sportage perhaps?

DANG! For $50k, it would cure almost any kind of fever. We saw one at the dealership when I went in for my first service and it was .. well... not what I thought it was.

I think the Libby is as glitzy as I want to go for now.

And this of course makes me think : Tawanda!!!!! That woman was my hero. KJK

Because, of course, we as reasonable human beings would never ever consider driving recklessly or disobeying traffic laws.

..oh, wait... never mind :/

Surely that's a typo, I think you meant to type "ve" instead of "d"
