I love how the “bad-guy” buckled-up before he took off – obviously the client was worried about the PC mob complaining about teaching kiddies unsafe driving practices…

It’s better than the GIO ad which has just ripped off Entourage’s opening credits for their latest ad….

I didn’t recognise Turtle at first cuz he was thin.

I don’t mind the ad.
