A Porsche Is Not Meant To Be An Everyday Car
I don’t care what Porsche tries to tell me with their new “Engineered for Magic. Everyday” ad campaign… To me, their sports cars are not meant to be used as a snowmobile, a pickup truck, or a school bus.
It’s Punch Buggy, Not Punch Dub!
Am I the only one who can’t stand Volkswagen’s “Punch Dub” advertising campaign? The game is punch buggy, not punch dub, even if VW wants to try to brand it as a “whole new game.” But, where did it come from, and what consistutes a punch buggy?
