I don’t often post car commercials, because most are either irrelevant, boring or simply not humorous in any way, shape or form. The latest ad for Mercedes-Benz’s C63 AMG Coupe is different, because it explains the male psyche better than anything else I’ve ever seen. Actually, it explains the gear head psyche better than anything else I’ve seen, because I’m sure there are plenty of women drivers out there who’d be thinking the same thing. Personally, I’ve taken vacations with my wife based on the roads between point A and point B, so I have no trouble identifying with the guy in the video below (even if I don’t drive a C63 AMG).
