Remember When
Quote: EvenBobWow Chevy hits a home run with their commercial on Thanksgiving Day. This video has a quarter of a million views already. It sends so many messages, one of them being that woke is dead thank God. For once the couple is not a black guy married to a Latino Filipino Native American and their kids don't look like aliens from another planet. They are driving a 94 Suburban and it sends the message that a Chevy lasts forever. Read the comments, this commercial got to people. If you're over 50 you remember what it was like when we had a normal country that was all about family.

Are you serious? You actually think quarter of a million views on a sub base of 771,000 is good? LOL. No. From a company worth 66 billion that undoubtedly paid a fortune to advertise the video?
They will have lost a lot of money on this campaign.

What else are they supposed to do? Not much of a play-by-play is available for a parade.
"The marchers have marched another block."
"Now they have started on a new block."
"Now they have finished with that block and they appear to be marching on another block..."

Never ridden in a car with a woman driving in
my life except my mom when I was a kid. And
I've been driving since 1965. Been in 3 accidents
in my life, all women drivers and their fault in
every instance. Yet in TV commercials men
aren't allwowed to drive apparently.

Men account for approximately 70-74% of all fatal crashes in the US.

Well, Black guys, Latinos, Filipinos, Native Americans and their kids all buy cars and are all about family too. And if the above is the message Chevy wants to send, Black guys, Latinos, Filipinos, Native Americans and their kids would be better off buying a Toyota or Honda. They'd get a better car that lasts longer, too.

Missing the point seems to be your forte. That being it's nice to see a commercial that's not jamming an alternate culture down our throat. Every commercial I see is mixed race, every race married to every other race except their own. And some kid in the backseat reading a gender-slanted comic book. And them talking about every other weirdo holiday except Christmas. People are sick to death of it.

"Males do 62% of the driving, but only cause 58% of the accidents.
So women do cause more accidents per capita than men."
Also men drive far more miles per year than women do.

After surgery, I needed to go to rehab a few days a week. Not supposed to drive for the first few weeks, since I wasn't supposed to use my arms.
Ashly followed the GPS route.
The problem with that is the GPS route was full of potholes and cracked pavement. Every bump in the road hurt, as it jostled things that weren't supposed to move.
She couldn't understand why I wanted her to go the "less efficient" route and get on the smooth highway in 5 blocks of driving the wrong direction, instead of going a mile and a half through old crater town to get to the highway.
It's 'cause I'm a sissy, hon, and they didn't give me nearly enough pain pills.
She is getting better. She is down to averaging around one crash a year now, which is an improvement.

Exactly, just not in car ads anymore. In my experience more women prefer to let the guy drive than the other way around. Women seem far more excited about self-driving cars than men, But you would never guess this from car ads these days.

Well, I know in my case, since it's usually Ashly just bumping into a curb or a bollard, I just pay for the repair rather than going through insurance.
The last issue was her driving into a ditch in the dark. Just pay for a tow truck, not worry about any reimbursement hassle.

I can see it totally balancing out between the two sexes if you could actually measure all the "accidents". There are people who are a danger to paint finishes of all cars at parking lot speeds, and then there are people outraged over a tiny scratch later driving 90mph weaving in and out of traffic trying to outrace some other hotrodders.

Men kill way more people in car crashes than women, which to most people is what matters, not minor accidents.
I can survive my paint getting scratched but I'd like to retain possession of my own head.

It's probably a toss-up for both sexes under the influence of various intoxicants on the killing part. I was walking on the sidewalk in Vegas one evening, and a car passed me and slammed into one of the those big lighted "road work" direction signs, which are literally about as big as a barn door. And a lighted one at that. In this case it was a lady. Air bag and seat belt saved her from a worse fate than likely broken legs.
I was not only lucky she didn't hit me, but that I wasn't on the other side of it. There was a full-size battery that flew out of it landing maybe 60ft down the road on the sidewalk.

That's the answer. The difference is in the situations in which men are more likely to be driving. More men are commercial drivers and that alone has its risks. Men are more involved in road rage incidents, and in crimes involving cars which usually proceed to a collision. I can't recall ever reading about a female carjacker.
On the distaff side, women are more risk-averse and will avoid driving in bad weather or other dangerous situations. They also seem in my experience to be less willing to drive drunk. Girl gets drunk in a bar, and usually some guy ends up driving her home, and the only thing that might be getting "wrecked" is part of her lower body. Guy gets drunk: "Yeah I'm good bro, I can drive, don't worry. Besides I know a cop in town, I cut down a tree in his backyard last month."
Men perform better when things go bad, cars start spinning, unexpected debris shows up on roadways, any of those things where the calculated physical skills evolved for use in fighting and hunting will come in handy.
So it's as if someone were to say commercial pilots are safer than military pilots, because military pilots are more likely to get shot down.

You beat me to most of this! Seen it happen. Snow hits, women more likely to stay home. Not to mention in a 2 car family the wife generally gets the newer and safer car.

Men are more dangerous drivers because they kill many more people with strong statistical significance. You need a great more than unsubstantiated anecdotal evidence to disprove that.
This should be obvious on a forum of "intelligent" gamblers.
