Hence all the political type ads. The simple answer is don't watch listen or pay attention to anything you don't are not specifically looking for information on. I gave up on television years ago...and am close to doing the same to radio. *MYSTIC* |

I liked the one with the woman who was in the gym only working on her
left leg and the tag line was "clutch muscle". I thought it was great cause of how hard it is to push in the clutch on a vw. Of course, a year later i realized that my clutch cable was sawing thru the metal bracket on my cabriolet. Fixed it and then the clutch was way easier to operate. mike |

I was going to reply - VW clutches are hard to press down, with confusion...
Then i kept reading :-) My left leg still feels stronger then the right after 3 years driving my old 1991 Golf... I don't find VW clutches hard to press down, but I drive in a lot of stop and go (much nicer with my automatic... but I really miss a standard tranny) - I find the travel is too long tho. > wrote in message oups.com... >I liked the one with the woman who was in the gym only working on her > left leg and the tag line was "clutch muscle".

"Not a Yuppie" > wrote in message ... : The most irritating TV spot I've seen in years is the recent Jetta ad : showing a flaky-looking young couple dancing and jumping around on the : floor, annoying their downstairs neighbor. They keep smiling like : dopes and don't care when he complains. There's something about the : look of these people that seems designed to irritate. : : After ****ing off the neighbor (it gets passed off as humor), these : two stupid flakes are shown moving to a bigger house with a new : subwoofer and doing the same thing to their neighbors. The ad doesn't : seem to note that bass carries through walls to other houses; or maybe : the point is confused. : : I never want to buy a Jetta if the target market is hipsters who only : care about their own shallow fun. : : Not A Yuppie : It's ... just ... a ... commercial ... |

Yes , I believe it was for a while. But it was so weird after driving
it with the bad cable then fixing the problem and now i can't really believe how easy it is. For the first week i thought i was going to push it thru the floorboard. mike |

As you approach the freezing point it's hard to differentiate a good beer from a bad one. (I've been known to send back beer served in overly frosty glasses - don't need the ice cream headache.)

I think the original poster, as well as others are missing the message
of the latest advertising campaign. I understood the first commercial with the dancers to be, they annoyed their neighbor, bought a bigger stereo, then bought their own house (hence the sold sign in the front yard). Even with the young driver with the VIP, it seems as though they are saying the cars are all grown up and civilized, but still maintain a certain adolescent fun about them, thus balancing responsibily with reckless abandonment. I would say that is quite accurate, I have a NB GLX, with the leather interior and the sunroof, it is almost like a mini-luxury car, but given an opportunity of a curvy abandoned road, and it is fun to step on it and make the tires howl in the corners Get it?
