That is a funny ass commercial but I wonder if it would grab as good on a non heavy gloss paint job?

no, not me. but this is a true story as i witnessed it. back in the mid 90s my buddy and myself stopped for gas in his 67 kombi. some guy walks over and starts talking to my friend and handed him a business card. he asked my friend if he could use his bus for a porno flick. he then gave my friend the head to toe once over look and said he could be in it too. i guess it was going to be a hippy inspired porn since my friend had the whole 90s Phish follower look going for him. my friend lost the business card and never got to pursue the life of a porn star.

As strange as that sounds, I was walking in Memphis one day in the mid 90's, leaned over to pick up a business card in the street and thus began my new career! True story!

My bus wasn't, but my 300ZX drift car starred in a music video! The video was also filmed in my garage with a green screen. My bugs were on set, the 66 served as a clothes rack for the costume changes.
