I've been watching the baseball playoffs and a few cars used in commercials have caught my eye. I wish I could identify them all. In a Car Max commercial I noticed a yellow S2000 in the opening seconds. My significant other thinks I'm nuts to be able to identify a sports car on a quick glance like that.

Anyway, to the point, there is a Yahoo DSL commercial that features a black coupe of some kind I wish I could ID.

More impressive is the Budweiser Select commercial with Jay-Z that features two exotic roadsters driving side by side. I think the black one is a ferrari F430, but I'm not sure. I have no idea what the silver one is. Any guesses?

 

Mike.

Can't say I've seen any of these commercials, but figured I'd say hi.

 

Thanks HTG, I was wondering what that was myself. I just counted to 9 and can't imagine getting to 100 mph in that time. What a rush that must be. So that's how the other half lives. Now you've got me curious, how long does it take the good drivers among us to reach that speed in the S? You and Tupp excluded of course.

 

Sure you haven't, HT, sure you haven't!

 

Mmmm...I don't know - I went around the block in that thing, and it felt like 100 to me. I'm very bad on commercials. I hit the Mute button when they come on.

 

I still can't believe he was handing over the keys to anybody brave enough to try it without him being in the car. I now wish I had but once I saw your head snap back..... You're such a brave soul.

 

Thanks HT. I think the Zonda is not street legal in the USA, but I guess that doesn't matter for the commercial. Was the other one a ferrari?

Hi back Lainey and all the other vints.

There is a "Cars.Com" commercial I saw for the first time today (during a football game). A wife is in a car next to a "dude" in a low-rider. Her husband is online choosing different cars, which change under her. The last one he picks, with a broad smile, is a Yellow S2k. His wife takes off fast, leaving the low-rider with just his hydraulic control to play with.

 

Do you have turbos on yours?

 

I'd ask flts. I'm sure he knows.
