Default What Would You Do?

Did you see the GMC television commercial where the guy buys his wife a red GMC and himself a black GMC for Christmas? But, she takes the black one instead. I think most people believe that the vehicles are identical except for the color. But, if you look closely, the black one is a pickup truck and the red one is an SUV. So, the guy wanted a pickup truck and ends up with an SUV. Bummer. What would you do if you were the guy? Or, the woman?

Oh, I'd probably call Pendas or Dan Newlin or the Morgans and sue her for divorce.

It starts by her buying him sunglasses. The commercials are getting dumber than the shows.

A neighbor of mine and his wife drive matching black Land Rovers. He had bought her one and he liked it so much he got one for himself. I cannot tell the two vehicles apart except for the license plates.

I would return the SUV and get another truck.

I don't think returning a new vehicle is usually an option at most dealers.

Heck no! That is a big investment which depreciates right after you sign on the dotted line and if she doesn't like the car, you'll rue the day you made that decision. It'll be remembered for eternity.

These commercials are so silly.

Since he has enough money to buy 2 new trucks, he should just buy a third?
