I really think that commercial caused some of my addictions for speed and cars. I forgot all about it, my how times have changed but addictions never seem to.

I remeber the 1993 Z28 commercials that said "with a cup holder big enough to hold a slurpy". I think I can speak for all us 93-96 guys. The cup holder in the Manual console dont hold any cup or bottle well at all.

I always thought this Mustang Gt commercial was awesome. This is from 1988 when the 5.0 was king:

I think this is my favorite LT1 4th gen commercial because the car looks pretty close to mine.

As for all 4th gens, this one still takes the cake.... *belch*

Guitar riff at the end of the first vid was done with a ZOOM 9030 digital effects processor, for any of you guitar freaks/ geeks... Have one sitting less than 5' away. It still does some crazy **** for a 20 year old DSP.
