Nevada state fair commercial
 
1 Attachment(s)
Anyone else notice that the photochopped Subaru (as a monster truck) somehow wormed its way into the Nevada State Fair Commercial?

In case anyone is wondering, its in a collage of monster trucks in the lower left corner of the screen.

I'll see if I can dig up the picture.

I was wondering when that was gonna show up on here! :lol: Where'd you get the picture? Is that the original that the commercial stole, or did someone screen cap the TV?

Hinklestein: a concrete barrier used to keep tanks on the road when traveling between training area in Germany. They're like 90% below the ground (think iceberg), so the 2' or so above ground is *extremely* strong. They line some of the stages in the Germany Rally. When a WRC car hits one, it can cause the cage to fail, so the resulting roll over does this to the car:

The in-car footage is downright scary.
