    I'll bet fixing the holes is the least expensive part of that commercial.

    Those two glasses or that plank might be even cheaper.

    I think that’s a stretch, trick photography :p

    I can say from hard experience that it is total BS. I had a ruined shirt to prove it.

    undulating road with no potholes -- doable.

    A Citroen DS with oleopneumatic suspension would struggle to do that.

    The add does not show speed bumps, potholes, sudden braking, curves, acceleration, or anything drastic. Ever see a car on the road doing 25 or 30 with a coffee cup or a yeti on the roof? Same thing.

    I'm sure someone probably found those repaired holes years later and wondered why someone would do such a thing

    Hey, German tanks can deliver beer without spilling it.

    Absolute crap; the German army has an alcohol problem, that beer would never be allowed to stand there, it'd never make it 2 meters from the tap.

    That video was shot in 1986, before the wall went down and all the Ossis came to the free west, bringing along their drinking problems. [​IMG]

    Most modern tanks have gun stability systems so that a tank can actually hit a target while it is moving. I'm more impressed with the Buick then the tank.

    Never mind the smooth-Electra claim, I never trust the provenance of wine poured from a carafe, let alone a glass jug!
