New 124 commercials?

Post by HersheyPAGreg »

Is anyone seeing commercials in their area for the new Spiders? I watch Velocity Channel often and am surprised that I have yet to see a commercial for the new Spider, especially since they had so many commercials (and good ones) when the 500 came out. They've been selling the Spider for months now right? No billboards either in my area, Harrisburg PA.

Been seeing them during the Bears broadcasts on Fox in Chicago over the last several months. Seems like I've been seeing more on regular broadcasts as well.

Me too. And all I can think of when the eagle lands on the back of it is "I'm glad that's never happened to me". Can you imagine the damage that regal bird could do to nearly 40 year-old vinyl?

Ok, thanks. I was just curious. Maybe I'm in too small a TV market.

Another reason to install a roll bar.
