This isn't much better than having it be in the ad for a mobile home.

Hey, it's better than the 69 Camaro in the Viagra ad tho!

Re: Super Bowl '14 Mountain Dew Ad

They're classics now, it's gonna happen! Most of these cars came out before the kids in their late teens/early 20s were even born. When you mention that you have a car from the 80s they're amazed lol.

Re: Super Bowl '14 Mountain Dew Ad

I saw that too. Better than the one they used for that insurance commercial, a Camaro like a Delorean time machine and messed it up.

Re: Super Bowl '14 Mountain Dew Ad

I missed this commercial thanks for sharing. Tim Tebow was driving a Nova that looks a lot like mine (color, body style and rims) in the T mobile commercial because he cant get a contract. I thought that was cool. Now I know it was, except the Tebow part.

They were probably rushed to get the car ready they may have forgotten to put them on.

Pretty cool a 3rd Gen Camaro made it into this commercial. I'm sure alot of thought went into what car to use and what message it would send.

Re: Super Bowl '14 Mountain Dew Ad

I'm 26 years old and my car is 24, we love each other lol. Had it for 8 years and have seen alot of hate on thirdgens, but tbh i have heard more love for them. I think these young kids coming up are starting to notice just how attractive these thirdgen camaros and fox body stangs are. I mean hell the 90 IROC managed to crack Forza5 top 200 car list to make the cut. I would call that a classic popular affordable car.

I have done my fair share of advertising the IROC-Z from fresh LT1 Swap



To my own created IROC-Z and Firebird for the PC game GT Legends


I will always say that's the prettiest body style Camaro GM made imo, if only they would have dropped the LT1 in them to start with it would have become a instant classic.

There will always be *******s towards your car don't sweat it. What these young bucks need to know is Thirdgen will be the car to have. Hell now it's already in affect, finding a nice thirdgen isn't as easy as it used to be. Most of them have been dumped off for scrap for beer money. And that's fine by me, scrape them all! part em out i don't care just dwindle down already.

But like i said, Thirdgens are getting credit in a positive way the last couple of years, i would say way more good then bad. Yes you hear ****** mobile every now and again on youtube and forums however IRL i always get complements and hard looks. And all i can think is this loud *** LT1 is showing it's ***" But the way i see it all them bitch boys cracking jokes are the ones to get smoked.I'm coming for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Super Bowl '14 Mountain Dew Ad

The only thing that ever really matters is if you're happy with your car. I've been ridiculed for not having what everyone else is driving (Honda, Nissan, etc.)
