But doesn't an empty brain mean no RAM?

Re: My Name is RAM, and my tank is Full...
The last dying gasp of a dying marque that no longer understands the world in which it lives. Dodge will be going the way of the buggy-whip makers that it helped put out of business a century ago.

Re: My Name is RAM, and my tank is Full...
I was ok with the Ad until "I will not yield, I will not coast to a stop." Up until that point, I was wondering why it mattered. But are you serious? What are they thinking!!!??

Re: My Name is RAM, and my tank is Full...
Seems to me the ad is geared towards the people who actually NEED a truck, not to all the asswipes who buy them to compensate for anatomical shortcomings.

Re: My Name is RAM, and my tank is Full...
Hi Chuck:
___I have no words that can describe my disgust for this commercial... A total waste of American ingenuity and a waste of our future.
___Jonathan, I absolutely loved your reply and I think we will make it into a Parody next month in LA if someone does not beat us to it 
***************************
I am RAM... AND my sales are in the toilet
November Sales
| Make | Model | Month Year | Monthly Sales | % Increase/Decrease | YTD Sales | | Dodge | Ram | Nov 2006 | 28,251 | NA | 303,476 | | Dodge | Ram | Nov 2007 | 24,711 | -13% | 301,689 | | Dodge | Ram | Nov 2008 | 17,626 | -29% | 213,684 | | Dodge | Ram | Nov 2009 | 12,262 | -30% | 155,467 |
***************************
I am RAM... AND it costs almost $100 to fill my tank
Long Bed fuel tank capacity = 32 gallon tank
California average price for a gallon of regular unleaded = $2.99 per gallon
***************************
I am RAM... AND I can drive 480 miles before having to put another $100 into the tank
15 mpgUS combined and a 32 gallon tank = 480 miles range.
***************************
I am RAM... AND I support our dependence on foreign oil
Over 70% of our nation’s oil supply is imported.
***************************
I am RAM... AND I support emitting as much CO2 as possible
The Dodge Ram is the most fuel inefficient vehicle one can consider.
***************************
I am RAM... AND I am far less reliable than a Prius, Fusion Hybrid, Civic Hybrid...
***************************
___Good Luck

Re: My Name is RAM, and my tank is Full...
I am RAM and my namesake is an animal whose balls are literally three times the size of its brains and chief motivation in life is trying to breed as many in-heat ewes as it can find, fighting other RAMs to be first to breed those ewes.
