Have you seen how Tire Rack depicts Camaro owners? - Page 4

You're a millennial snow flake if you find this insulting...People need to relax...lol

enzia35 · 03-27-2017, 01:25 AM

Have you not noticed most commercials feature an idiot white male that has to be saved by his wife.

Snowflakes are everywhere....maybe Camaro6 should have a "Safe Space" forum.

They're only insulting V6 vert owners. That's a small demographic.

I saw it too while watching MotoGP and thought it was one of their funnier commercials.

Raven87 · 03-27-2017, 08:12 AM

Loved it. Very funny.

Fraxum · 03-27-2017, 08:16 AM

Never take yourself too seriously.

Realist · 03-27-2017, 08:59 AM

I was expecting a mullet. I like humor in commercials, this one was lame. Atleast it has a Camaro in it.

I say we march on Washington and break someone else's s#*t! ...Not.

Funny to me also. I see nothing offensive. There are real issues to get me flamed up. This isn't one of them.

Anyone in the Pacific NW is likely to relate. We don't see the sun for half a year & when it does finally come out, many of us are like this whether it's yard work, or just outside playing.

You would have had a nervous breakdown in the 80s.

My Gods.....the 80s IROC (which stood for Italian Retards out Cruising where I came from) mullets!!!

I guess it was funny....Not sure I see the connection between being a complete bonehead but still be able to choose the right tires....Maybe I fit their target audience, as do a lot of others....lol

We must consider the possibility that TireRack did their research correctly before producing this ad....A successful advertisement is one that you have a reaction to or will remember....This was a good ad....lol...

Was expecting somebody with a southern accent, coveralls, and a straw hat. Instead got some California yuppie who doesn't understand the concept of sunscreen. I don't think they really went for the correct stereotype in this case. Maybe they couldn't find a Miata when they shot the commercial, lol.

There was one thing missing to complete the Camaro owner image.

He should have been making a video log selfie (about 10 minutes worth) for how he liked his new tires or a review of the convertible top.
