Default New Charger ad, more crap

Mutilating that classic rock song into rap crap,
then showing some YUPPIE Charger driver fantasizing that
little kids on bikes are 'tards on Harleys.
It's bad enough seeing 40+ year old YUPPIES actually RIDING
Harleys, complete with those ridiculous "half-helmets" they use
to look like "rebels."
Someone please wake me from this consumerist nightmare, please?
Bring back REAL muscle cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uhhhh....
I haven't seen the commercial but...
those 40 something guys on Harleys are the ones that have been riding them
for the last 20-30 years.
They are the ones that took the Harley from a bad image to a great ride.

How many punk kids do you see riding a Harley? Because ?
The half helmets are a compliance thing, not a fashion statement.
i.e.: "I'll wear it if I have to but I will wear as little as possible and
be comfortable while I'm at it"

Sounds to me like YOU are the rebel without a clue.

Oh, yea AND.... those 40 something Yuppies ARE the target market because WE
are the ones that drove the originals and WE are the ones that can afford
the new cars.

You have your own generation, make your own classics. If you don't like the
charger that's your perogative, a lot of other people don't. Just because it
has 4 doors doesn't mean it isn't muscle..

I like the half helmet because it is lighter, cooler and, most of all, I
can hear much better.

How's your hearing at 75mph with the wind
barreling into your eardrums? :-)

Have seen the commercial, and every single one of those
bikes is a custom chopper, not a stock Harley-Davidson.

Many, if not most, of those 40-something guys who can
afford to spend $30K to $150K on a custom chopper
have very little riding experience. If they did, it was before
marriage and family.

They don't even know how to countersteer a motorcycle,
and those of us with decades of experience consider many
of those owners to be clueless RUBs riding butt jewelry.

Sure, there's also *real* bikers riding those types of bikes,
but they usually built it themselves. If you ever go to Sturgis
during the rally, you'd be astonished at the number of RVs
and motorcycle trailers parked all over the place.

Motorcycling is supposed to be about getting away from it all,
but all too many are into it for ego gratification, and may never
have to replace the rear tires as they rarely ride their Garage
Queens. Too busy making money or something. ;^)
