These Liberty Mutual Commercials drive me insane...especially this one!...
 
You're driving in your car...
You're having a good day...
...and BAM! You have an accident!
 
I have a better version...
 
You're driving in your car...
Your having a good day...

I kid you not, I clicked on this link, the commercial started showing on CNN. Not all that shocking since they show this damn ad every other commercial break.

Yes, every other break on both CNN and FNC.

The hoodie boom-then-boom-again guy and Brad.  A couple of weeks ago it was the dumpy parallel parking lady and the news flash nobody's perfect lady.  Next week maybe it goes back to the proud papa and the how-can-my-car-depreciate-before-it's-first-oil-change guy.

I think we'll get another year of these.

Then there's this one...



...the "black" (yeah, right) girl with the "like, totally fer sure" way of talking, who refers to tapping the bumper of a station wagon.

A what???

WTF is a "station wagon"????

Didn't they quit making those things about 3 or 4 decades ago????

I believe they replaced it with the mini van & the SUV, if I'm not mistaken.

Also, if somebody tapped the bumper of a 30 or 40 year old car...



...would the owner even bother reporting it????

Nice dialog writing there, Liberty Mutual's advertising agency & ad producers!!!!

Dumbasses.

The closest I can think of to the station wagons of yore is the Dodge Magnum.

Actually, I think that is the Merc in the pic, not the Ford, and yes, they were very roomy.

I kinda miss the Magnums. They were basically 300s, but still had a cool factor to them. Couldn't see out the back though.

Believe me, station wagons DO exist! I've seen plenty of them on my travels most of them were from the 80s and 90s not the 70s! By the way that is one nice looking station wagon (the first one)!

Yep, ran like a champ. Got mine for $150 back in '93. Whoever worked on the tranny didn't know what the hole for the neutral safety switch was and plugged it, then when he put the tranny back under the car and found the switch he couldn't figure out where it went, so he put a copper fitting over it to hold the switch down. I found this out when the car wouldn't start and inspection revealed a loose copper fitting.

It also had a 2x4 in the rocker panel to fill the rust-out.

Them was the days.

LOL

I got mine for $225 after somebody's kid puked all over the back and they couldn't get the smell out after lots of 'family efforts'. Rolled down the windows and took it straight to Cadillac dealership for an 'interior shampoo' ($50, back then) - car was good as new until we started playing 'boat games' LOL

I'd say it's a Galaxy Wagon.  Looks too big for a Fairlane.  I'm talking about the white and rust one.

The first wagon pick he posted couldn't have been a Fairlane.  Too new.  They ended production of the Fairlane years earlier.

White & rust with handy-dandy home-made luggage rack was the one I thought could be a Fairlane (Ford quit them around 1970), but you might be right - Galaxy 500 was smaller until Fairlane was gone, then they got larger
(mine looked exactly like this one, except it had green landau roof)

LOLI have a very good friend who *STILL* has his Buck Regal (they run so well), but should have lost it about 25 years ago when he rolled it (landed on its tires, but a little more 'rounded). He called the cops, told the someone stole his car and trashed it, but he forgot to take the beer cans out. Fingerprints are a bad thing when it comes to insurance claims and police reports (he got real lucky because they only made fun of him - in public).

Dammit! I'm kicking myself for not getting the National Lampoon's Family Vacation station wagon ornament that came out last year! Sunovabitch!

I was smart enough to get the USS Vengeance, but I didn't get the station wagon cause I deemed it "too ugly" by the way if I remember correctly they trash a nice light yellow Olds 442 station wagon in the movie. For what reason I don't know why. I wish they made an ornament outta that too!

LOL They do run great and take a beating. I used mine to haul scrap to the scrap yard until I traded it to a friend for a 86 Dodge pickup. Most I ever loaded in it was 1200 pounds of brass pipe. Took it like a champ. I'd probably still have it except the truck was better suited for work. Smile

I sympathize with the "hello insurance companies nobody is perfect"girl.  I remember having to go through hell and a half just to get them to cover damage that wasn't even my fault (someone backed into me).  I had to do this over the phone interview four times within a period of 2 months.  Each time I was asked the same stupid questions and each time I was made to feel as if it was actually my fault that someone backed into me.  

These commercials are still incredibly stupid and obnoxious in their delivery, but I gotta give them points for relating to customers on some level.
