What the Hell, Buy a Car

The grand opening of Mororati Island today also coincided with a broadcast on Michigan Radio (an NPR affiliate) about the meatspace car biz in second life. Apart from the velvety Barry White voice talents of Professor Ludlow demonstrating his Scion and his Francis Chung Dominus Shadow, there is some interesting commentary from people that actually know something, in particular on why the SL audience is important to car makers/sellers.

er, shouldn’t this have ADVERTISEMENT and a box around it as a shameless hype for a car company?

It’s a Pontiac GTO, Prok. If there isn’t a knock off there will be soon.

Somebody PLEASE help me tell those retarded corporations that SL is not a broadcast medium and SL users are not an “audience”.
Having said that, I really like the GTO, although I think it would look better with a stock paint job and hood. That 67 is really the best car Pontiac has made in the last 40 years.

Pontiac has a model for sale similar to the one pictured, just a lil more tricked out. You can test drive it on the drag strip behind the dealership. Careful boys, is it balls to the wall fast!
