I voted, but he's driving a Panamera, which is the Porsche that nobody wants. He may as well been driving a Volvo there :(

I want to see people having fun in a drop-top 911 or a Boxster S when I see a Porsche commercial!

I understand what you're saying but, there are 10 film makers and *everyone* wants a 911. He wanted something that set him apart and also he had an idea for a "family" commercial. Strategy, sir!

Lifetime sets itself apart from other networks by only showing movies for women. Not all strategies are effective :D

I actually like the one where they were driving through New York with the top down.

Did you just compare a sedan that can do under 8 minutes on the Nurburgring to a television network that caters to women with demographic targeted TV shows and B movies?

shame. :p

I liked it, but there was some effect he kept using that looked almost like lens flare that really bugged the shit out of me.

Voted.

Yes I did. :colbert:

Porsche stands for the height of driving enjoyment and engineering, not lugging the family around to parks and picnics on weekends.

I want to see race track lines whizzing by like a blur, hear an engine at 8000 RPM going going HHHUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....HaaaaaaRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, the drivers face distorting as he's going around a 2g turn, slamming the shifter from 5th to 2nd, a big smile on his face as he looks down at the Porsche emblem on the steering wheel. Maybe an explosion or two in the background as the guy is sitting on the hood with two hot babes in bikinis rubbing his shoulders. Now THAT'S a commercial.

I swear at the end of your friend's commercial, instead of Porsche I was going to see "Vagisil: For that not so fresh feeling." :wub:

Why not the height of driving and enjoyment WHILE lugging the family around to parks and picnics on weekends?

The 917. I grew up watching Le Mans races with that lineage. Probably one of the most iconic racing cars of all time - when many people think of Le Mans, that's the first body shape they think of.

WHERE'S THE COMMERCIAL WITH THE 917 IN IT????? Some guy could have carted his family to the park in one really really really fast.

With an explosion.

And bikinis.

These are my top3...which to vote...

Sweet Dreams
It's a Magical Life
Race for Love

those are my fav also. I think Sweet Dreams is very well done and has a good concept. Magical Life has simpler cinematography but has a better concept IMO. Race for Love also has a good concept, although has a negative connotation to the message.

Voted for Sweet Dreams nevertheless...and I hope Rod wins

What kind of budget do you think he had?!

Rent a Porsche - $800
Track time - $100
Few M80's and some kerosene - $80
Bikini babes - 1 bottle of tequila

Easy.

(and I keep voting for your video because of your prestigious ATOT status ;) )

1. well done video
2. the panamera is ugly
3. who would live in such a shitty house with a $100k car?

Should have been a ghetto house. Would have been more realistic :D

"I drive a $100K car and have a $8K house. Welcome to the hood!"
