I want to drive my Chevy Sonic to Sonic Drive-in and while waiting for my food, play Sonic the Hedgehog on my GameBoy. “Give and you shall receive.” Spend money on me and get sex. That’s not prostitution, nah, not at all. ---

Chevy, after doing a great job of showing me that the truck will survive anything and that the yellow car (camaro?) is the coolest car in the world, shows the Sonic bungee jumping. I do not want to drive a car off of things. I plan to drive it on a road. Pictures of the car flying through the air doesn’t demonstrate a single selling point. ---
