good one

Hugh MacKay · Dec 2, 2008

That is nothing more than a winter tire add. I doubt if a chase like that ever took place.

Actually this ad was made in los angeles. Canada doesnt use the siren anymore havent for years.

Anonymous-0 · Dec 2, 2008

Yeah, its too dumb to be real, but its still funny though. The whole Midas ad is also on youtube.

ScottyHOMeY · Dec 2, 2008

Might have been a Canadian ad, but it could have been anywhere in the northern latitudes. I'd like to think Minnesota or Fargo, ND, as nothing like that could happen here in Maine! ;8^)

Funny in my book, no matter where it was supposed to be.

Hugh MacKay · Dec 2, 2008

I quite agree, just about the dumbest add I've seen in recent times. Certainly not enough snow to stop those big sedans, hardly enough snow to cover tha cable that must be holding them.

Tire companies run the most stupid adds anywhere. Many of them say their tires will grip the road even at temps as low as -35F. I've been around this old planet Earth 66 years, and the worst traction I've encountered is very close to freezing mark. STUPID, STUPID tire companies.

Funny, I hear the OPP screaming down the highway from time to time.
London City cops don't use sirens because somebody said they discriminate against the deaf students at the Robarts School.

Don't know if it's still the case, but Buick went through a spell where they where the slipperiest thing on the road. My Mom switched off Oldsmobiles after thirty years and got a Buick back in the early 80s and did nothin' but swear about how it wouldn't go in the snow. She'd been drivin' in the stuff her whole life. It happened to snow while I was down to visit her, and I had to agree with her. Had the same experience for myself in rental Buicks of that same era.

By that time, Detroit had declined so that Mom switched off to Subarus.

Sadly that's not too far from the truth. In Edmonton anyway, the cops are more interested in photo radar tickets on roads that have especially low speed limits, when they should be higher. 50KM/H on a 4 lane road with a seperate drive and meridan between houses on each side. They'll have the speed limit at 60 and then drop it to 50 for a couple blocks and then back to 60 cause it's a cash cow. You very rarely see photo radar on roads with higher speed limits. In Ontario, I think, they did away with photo radar because it proved not to be a deterent. There was a big debate here a couple years ago because all the camera's are rented and a firm in the states was doing all the monitoring... to the tune of $10,000,000 a year. No ones going to tell me they don't have a quota to meet. The red light cameras make more sense. Dave

Here in Eastern Ontario the new police cruisers are back to the black and white colors. The Same with the SUVS that they use. I think they started about 4-5 months ago may be wrong. The local force in town is half and half now.They went full circle back to the black and white.

Where I am in eastern Ontario (kingston/Belleville) the OPP have been using black and whites for over a year now and it gets annoying because they are much harder to spot than the white ones LOL

buickanddeere · Dec 3, 2008

What are you talking about? It"s the tires on the vehicle that controls traction. So the identical Pontiac version of the buick chassis has great traction and the buick doesn"t?
A summer or all season tire in cold weather turns hard. And has all the traction of a child"s plastic wheeled toy on a hardwood floor.
Anybody north of the Mason-Dixon line that says all season tires are fine in winter are deluded.
How is it that some posters here don"t understand it"s joke ad put on by Midas to sell winter tires?

buickanddeere · Dec 3, 2008

OPP has been changing the fleet from white to black and white for the past two years.
Town cops and rcmp are other colours.

Lighten up, Hugh, it was just meant to be funny. And it was. In case you were unsure on that point.
