Montanan in scope. Pause your keystrokes and engage the muscles
above your neck. With few exceptions, all it takes to blast thru
a snowbank is momentum and an undercarriage that won't get lifted
off the ground. For a larger snowbank, you just need more momentum.
The trick of course is that you'd better pick the snowbank and
snow covered road very carefully if you are trying to prove anything
about the benefits of 4wd versus just crashing out of control
and careful camera shots before the skidding Buick Roadmaster
inevitably hits the ditch, a tree, or a parked SUV.

And one final thought on the intellectual level of discourse involved
in dissecting TV commercials: GET A LIFE!!!

what's your problem?:
1. male PMS
2. excess gas
3. Penile deficiency
4. Just generally a miserable person
5. Republican by nature

I thought the purpose here was to have a discourse. If you want to trade insults, then I
am ready to fire away.

You seem to be having enough fun, playing Richard Gere and the
Gerbil all by yourself, so pardon the interruption of your
puerile rantings about nothing.

Oh look. A man-child crying for recognition. There's no wondering if it has a brain or
balls.

Actually, I haven't seen anything in a Toyota commercial I wouldn't do
with my own truck. Ford, Check and Dodge on the other hand have to use
CGI to get their commercials made. I thinkt he last Chevy commercial I
saw the truck was pulling a powerplant or something???

It was either a Tacoma commercial or maybe that video they used to pass out to new buyers.
I got mine in 1998 and it has 5 years of dust on it. Someday I may actually watch it.

I don't know if you're getting Chevy mixed up with someone else; I think it was Dodge that
was pulling an airplane so fast it actually lifted off the ground (yeah sure - that scene
was right before the one with the flying pigs). They'll do anything to sell some iron I
guess... I would never jump a truck 4 feet in the air and expect it not to suffer some
damage. Or drive through so much mud that it's packed in the alternator and a/c compressor
and then be stupid enough to go in to the dealing whining about it...
