The times, they are a-changin'...
Watching late night TV I discovered that things have changed. Victory Auto Wreckers has done us a number.
When I was young, "That old car is worth money, call Victory Auto, we'll give you cash on the spot and tow it way free". And this appealed to me, as the guy in the commercial, his car door falls off of his Nova and he's all downtrodden, and I liked the idea that they'd pay him to get the car off the street, maybe enough to get another piece of crap car.
Now, "That old car might be worth money, call Victory Auto..." except it's the same guy. He must've gotten another Nova, and lo and behold, the door falls off just like the one he had when I was growing up. Except now, it "might be" worth money, so he might have to pay them to tow it away.
Now, this guy's aged like a champ, must be in the Dick Clark school of aging (read: he is a robot designed to kill, accept him now and you will die!), but why does he keep buying crappy Novas?
On to the Empire Carpet man... he's animated, but you might be old enough to remember that at one point he was real. The cartoon man sounds the same, so apparantly there's some tecnology that turns you into a cartoon, allowing you to live forever. I'm down with being animated.

I've seen this comercial recently. It's the same one. Just check out the watch! Same amount of money too.
