Have you seen how Tire Rack depicts Camaro owners?

Saw this on today's MotoGP broadcast. I don't think I'll be buying anything from them soon.

In my area, people still remember/equate Camaro with "Guido" - you know, with giant IROC stickers across the windshield.

So that's pretty mild.

Wait.......
.........there's no emblems or logos on the car.
How do you KNOW it's a Camaro.
(That's a joke, BTW.)

Maybe it's a rental?

(Yeah, I know. Why would you buy tires for a rental.)

If you think that is insulting, might as well give up on reality, much less the Internet.

Pretty funny stuff, thanks for sharing OP. Accurate for my wife and I as well...we didn't put on sunscreen for the car show yesterday and ended up a little crispy, lol.

Lol, it's funny stuff. Unless that's actually you, I wouldn't sweat it. Oh, and if that is you, dude, you need some sunscreen.

Wait how is that insulting?

I'm sure they wouldn't want an idiot purchasing from them anyway. Probably figure you'd order the wrong tires and look for a chargeback. (is that insulting?)

It's a little different when you're a company selling a fair bit of product (I would guess) to a specific niche clientele and you run a commercial depicting said customers as bozos. Marketing 101-treat your customers with respect, even if you don't like them.

Don't find that insulting at all. I think it's funny.

Besides...if you want to get technical and become "un-offended"...it's got European mirrors, and they taped over the Chevy badge so you couldn't tell what it was.

Something to be said for thick skin...
