Thanks for the correction on the origin of the music, Eddie. Being from "near" Detroit in Michigan I feel ashamed that I did not recognize Ted Nugent's riff. I hope he can somewhere in his heart find a way to forgive me. Anyway, I wonder where they found the Grem to do the commercial. Had they come knocking at my door I would have asked a cool $5K for the use of any one of mine and they could have asked Ted if he wanted to ride in it to boot. Now that would be some fancy sh*t!!!
