They were playing that a couple months ago up here in Portland.  Couldn't find it on YouTube.  Then they stopped.

Just started playing it again.

Pink!

Does that mean the lines will be longer @ WaMu or Bonneville?

I noticed I was @ 399 posts and had to say something stupid to get to 400.

Oh well.

Was that streamliner that they used in the commercial just a prop made specificaly for the commercial, or was that someones race car?

P.S. I hear the WaMu is another bank that is in big time financial trouble :oops:

For all we know, the Bonneville segment of the commercial was created on a computer.

This one is barely worth mentioning, but this Tommy Hilfiger commercial was shot at Bonneville and features a couple of belly-tank lakesters:
