Last winter there was an advert for a car that went something like this:

(shot of car driving through bad weather. Voice-over:) Let it rain. Let it snow. Let it freeze and rain some more. We can handle all kinds of weather.

I think it was a GM car. But of course, if my memory were reliable I wouldn’t be here asking…

No, I’m pretty sure they were advertising a car. All-wheel drive and anti-skid technology and other good stuff.

No! It was a Chevy!

Or maybe it was a GMC?

Cadillac?

Hummer?

Saab?

The occasional tryst with Toyota?

Did I leave any out? It has to be one of those…
