Best Buy Commercial

Want a look back into third-gen history? There's a real funny commercial best buy has out right now. Let's just say Camaro, ******, and VCR. Anyone seen it......too bad I didn't have my third gen in the 80's....I would have been real cool then. lol.

I made everyone be quiet while it was on.

I saw that and I was waiting to see a post about it! I think it's an 82-84 Z28.

Notice how the brother says that his brother always had the best of everything.... and he has a 3rd gen!!

Ya damn RIGHT!

Well the only thing that could have made it better was if it was a TTA, GTA, OR A IROC-Z f-body...cause that one looked like a Sport Coupe...

That was hi tech back then. Before that, the remote was, "go up and change the channel". My brother and I were the remote controls But at least there were only 13 or so channels then....

About the whole its cool i told my family see the commercial with the camaro is the cool thing. Then my brother has to burst my bubble and say ya "was" cool in the 80s! After that all hell broke loose...

btw- the song is Night Ranger - Sister Cristain lol wat a funny 80s song.

Great tune, great outfit, great hair, awesome car...It looked to me like it had a targa top. Were my eyes fooling me? BTW, I saw an old Simon and Simon repeat the other night. They had a nice IROC with a Targa top. Anyone remember the year? I swear it had to be 82 or 83.

I love that commercial...tell me they didn't get the '80s feel just right

A 5.0 in that commercial wouldn't be nearly as fun
