SUV Commercials

There were a lot of Lexus commercials during Lost tonight. What's up with that? I saw two during every commercial break. That was a lot! Who knew geeks and nerds would be into driving some fancy Lexus SUVs? On the other hand, I saw more Audi SUV commercials during Fox's Fringe. What was that about? People who are into paranormal, sci-fi shows are more inclined to drive an European SUV? I'm sure there's some serious, extensive marketing research and analysis done to determine who tunes in every week, and which car makers can benefit the most from these findings and data. Anyway, just some off-the-track observations.

I helped Dave sell his old Apple printer tonight. The guy was nice, but he was too careful. I know, you can never be too careful with buying anything off Craigslist. If I were him, I would probably do the same thing. I just wouldn't go through every testing procedure after 10 PM at someone's house. And I wouldn't have the nerve to keep going at it when I knew it was taking a lot longer than it should. Then again, I understand it. Nobody wants to spend money and bring home a defective, nonfunctional product. Fortunately the transaction was a success. So yes, I might have that salesperson gene in my blood after all. Tonight Dave reminded me again that I sold my car off Craigslist, and I did so with Steven's car too. Should I be looking at sales positions now?

Nah... not if I have a choice.
