Jeff Gordon Buys a Camaro
- Thread starter Phil1
- Start date
after driving the car like that, I hope they bought it from the guy...either way that is hilarious.
edit to add:
I did some research. The car was a high performance car they placed there and the salesman was the only person that wasn't in on the test drive.

People who are local to the area where this was filmed have said that they are fairly sure that the whole thing was a fabrication on an old Philip Morris cigarette plant's grounds and a used car lot. Apparently, none of the stunt driving was actually done by Gordon.

Some people just have no sense of humor whatsoever. John C. Dvorak went ballistic over it. Read the commentary. It's pretty hilarious.

Ya, it's just a commercial...everyone, including the salesman, was in on it.
The only people that Gordan has punked was America when he married a woman.

Really?? Fake?? No shirt, shitlock... I don't believe that anyone ever really thought that this was a real prank or otherwise real. At least I hope not. It was, however, a very funny commercial well designed to go viral, which it has; so kudos to whoever thought it up and pulled it off.
Good research Dr. Link (Veer_G).
