Default Not sure how well TAC really thought this one through...

I was on YouTube earlier tonight and noticed this particular TAC Campaign:


Not sure about everyone's thoughts on it, but I'm not sure if their marketing team really thought about the wording they used on this one through properly...

That's Gold! Hahaha, so everyone off to their local strip then hey?! That's one way of promoting local drag racing. Well done TAC people in suits driving Prius' buzz boxes who have lost touch with reality.

Do curtain airbags make such a big difference? Is it required for a 5 star ANCAP raiting?

Can't expect much from TAC. They're just another corporation these days.

They're obviously working with Vic Police to get these cars off the road. Drag it, get car confiscated; repeat until car crushed. I reckon it's actually a good campaign! /sarcasm
