Default Blown LS 430 UP!!!!

Did anyone see the Silver LS 430 2004 get blown up. There was a commerical during the SuperBowl. It was with Damon Wayne. The LS 430 looked so good on TV. He and his son were using a rocket and it blew the LS 430 up. What waste.

No he said "Should of took mom's car". Meaning that was his car and he blew it up.

How was the advertiser? I looked at a couple, but couldn't find it. I sure hope it was movie magic or I'll be feeling like a Carolina panther.

Thanks...

I think it was a Yahoo Shopping commerical. Not sure though. It had Damon Wayne in it. Don't know much else.

Just goes to show that the LS outshines the competition again.

When faced with the decision of which car to blow up, the directors/producers choose the LS more than any other vehicle in its class.

They should have blown something else up. Why not give me the LS 430? It looked so good.

They didn't really blow it up. No way. Not on a commercial budget, especially. I'll try to find out what technique they used.

Hi,

Saw the commercial again and you’re right, it was Damon Wayne. At the end he looked somewhat like Jamie Foxx.

As for the car- it looks more like a 2001 – 2003:
Take a look at the wheels (not 2004 17”s or 18”s)
Rear Lights
Front (lower air dam, not like 2004’s)

Hey guys-
Yes it was Daman Wayans and it looks like they used a newer '02-'03 LS430 for most all the early shots until the final moment of the explosion, where if you look carefully, they show the car that they actually blow up and it turns out to be a '90-'91...

The advertisement was for sbc-yahoo. Coincidentally I just saw the commercial yesterday.
