Anyone else see the irony of the AutoZone ads during the Tour broadcasts? There is a teenager who finds a car with a sign that reads "If you can fix it then you can have it". He then rides his bike to the local AutoZone store and fixes up the car. The last thing that he says in the commercial is something like "At least when I go to Autozone now, I don't have to ride my bike". Talk about missing your target demographic!

I just saw that commercial this morning, but I guess I wasn't paying much attention because I missed the part about not having to ride a bike. Next time it comes on, I'll listen for it.

Yeah, I've been seeing it for a while. I silently answer the kid with "I'm sorry to hear that."

Not really. .

Talk about missing your target demographic!

The typical American is fat, obnoxious and lazy, so they captured their demographic. Seriously, I see what you mean and it's sad. I'm sure most people who see me on my bike don't even think I've a $44K 2006 BMW M3 coupe in my garage.

Lighten up a bit guys -

Don't you remember being a teenager?

Cycling may be fun, much more fun than driving - but when you are a teenager the idea of having your own car is a very big deal. Freedom, chicks, partying, the whole teenage ideal.

it is a funny commercial - and I can enjoy it even knowing that the excitement of driving will wear off after a bit for the kid.
