I got enough oil on my driveway without one of these rust proofers helping the act along.

I'm pretty sure I saw the last bit of an ultra tune commercial last night where a car is pulled out of a lake via the TOWBALL.
Although it only caught my eye just as it finished but I think so.

Correct!

I received this today, after I sent my comments to Holden about their Colorado ad:

Dear Michael,

We refer to your recent email regarding the Colorado advertising campaign.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Holden values customer comments and feedback and appreciates the time you have taken to write to us. While we devote considerable resources prior to the release of any advertisement or marketing campaign, we understand that occasionally there will be areas that are open to constructive comments.

In response to feedback, the advertisement in question was modified immediately by Holden prior to national syndication, however, some regional and pay-tv stations may not have received these changes in time. As a result the original version of the ad may have screened in some instances over the weekend. We are currently working with media outlets to ensure all original versions of the advertising are removed and replaced with the rectified advert.

Please be assured that Holden places a great deal of emphasis on the views and opinions held by our customers. We are proud of our company’s strong reputation within the Australian community and safety remains our highest priority in all that we do.

Please understand that our intentions are not meant to offend or make light of any safety issues and we wish to offer our sincere apologies.

Yours sincerely,
Sarah Drew
Holden Customer Assistance Centre

BRAVO, Well done Mate.

Yeah this one has been shown here before. It raises lots of questions:

This one clearly shows everything not to do!

Hey guys sorry i must have missed the orders for the towball stickers. Ill post up a few designs and work out a price. (probably only $5 for a single colour)

So what sort of sizes are we after?
Same width as the numberplate (to go just under the number plate)?
bottom of barn door?

And that was just the strap, imagine if the towball went with it.
