    You guys/gals see the latest Toyota adds?
    Sounds like if you mod your Toyota your some kind of hack that is clueless.

    Some fool shooting his nail gun through the wall like some kind of Hollywood BS Tucker and Dale vs. evil crap?

    I guess the next stage is to kill off all after-market stuff?

    Nice work turdota.

    *you're

    Just sayin', the vast majority of posts I read here are people trying to correct the myriad of problems they now face after performing their own mods...

    I don't even remember the last time I overheard someone in the office talking about an ad, much less seeing one. Not including superbowl, but actually still kinda including even that.

    All good lies contain enough truth to lend validity.

    Based on things we see around here, there is certainly evidence to support that.

    To me it seems like a harmless, though dumb, commercial attempting to use humor in marketing. I would say their reference to the service center indicates they’re taking a shot at quick lube service centers and the like. I didn’t hear anything about mods and they’ll never get rid of aftermarket stuff. Hell Toyota just released an OEM lift kit to get in on the modification market. Don’t read into it too much.

    All that being said, I would argue the crappy carpenter in the commercial could easily represent some dealership techs...
