Have not heard those Billy Bob's squeals in years. That's good.

I noticed that, too. No more bobbing head and exaggerated eye blinking from her, and her “World Car....for a lifetime.”

How about those commercials for no-name insurance ,or a miracle drug, that has a "doctor" in a lab coat (with a stethoscope wrapped around his neck for authenticity) , peddling the latest snake oil ….how cheesy. Like this doctor doesn't have time to take it off before they shoot the commercial.

Ha ha, the white coats are important.
Remember the photo shoot at the white house with a couple dozen doctors ? Previous administration issued them all white doctor smocks for the shoot. Dumb voters must believe docs wear them everywhere.

I remember my first after college job in 1970 in an electronics lab designing circuitry for TV cameras and such.

One day some potential investors were coming by and the boss had us all suit up in doctor white coats.

Must have worked, their investment paid all our salaries for a couple years.

The worst and most annoying commercial now-World Car is irrelevant without Bequi. The only negative comments come from what five of you? Get over it-she’s hot and is relatable. Kids love her and she has made the “for a lifetime” line one people remember - not the voiceovers or random people holding a sign. If they have any marketing sense they will bring her back ASAP.

All generations of World Car commercials have annoyed me. They must work since their ad budget is obviously huge.
I do appreciate the negative reviews of their businesses all over the internet. I'm now afraid to even drive by their car stores.

But in all fairness, buying a car from any dealer is painful. I've shopped a half dozen this past couple months and now thinking of getting that buy-a-car token coin from Carvana and using their car vending machine. What a concept !

My problem with World car is how they try to pass off that "lifetime warranty" BS, as a bumper to bumper, if anything goes wrong lifetime warranty. WRONG!
It's a limited powertrain warranty...and you better have receipts for all your maintenance, and it had better be done exactly as the owner's manual states, or they will deny your claim.
Deceptive as can be.

So........any news about what happened to Bequi? There was a poster on here way earlier in this thread that seemed to know her. Poster, are you still reading? Can you give us an update on Bequi?

Vampire face lifts, lasik with Dr. So and So, personal testimony on the radio that the radio personality has used the service for many years. We all remember those folks swearing that they used some fake goo for weight reduction.
