Did you notice that add with the stopping distances of the two holdens, the difference being the tyres etc.
well have a closer look, one is a commodore and the other is a statesmen. The weight of the statesmen is like 100kgs more. Wouldnt this have a significant affect on the stopping distance?

on a smiliar note, 2 adds annoy me with this kind of thing:
-GIO ad were the bloke is in his house and its been flooded and he is saying "are you sure flood cover wasnt an optional extra?" and his wife is saying no its standard (to say how good GIO is) and she goes on to rant about the different types of flood. JUST as she says "tsunami's" in white writing down the bottom of the screen it says "movements of the ocean are not covered" im not a marine expert but im sure a tsunami will be classified as a movement of the ocean. next is the lenovo ad were it shows the laptop being dropped infront of libby tricket and then water gets spilled on it and the voice over goes on to say how its so tough etc. Down the bottom it says (paraphrased) "whilst this notebook survived, dropping or spilling liquids onto the laptop voids your warranty" I thought, WTF?! they are marketing this notebook as a toughbook that can be dropped etc and yet they say that if that happens then warranty is voided... so what the f4k is the point?!?!?!
