Here you go, the wheels/rims are fake knock offs that were on ERA188 when I purchased it out of Florida in 2008 from the second owner. I had attempted to purchase this car from the original owner 8 years prior, also in Florida at that time.
Pretty realistic looking now aren't they.

Here is a translation a friend sent me of the joke:
> You went away flat-chested and now we both have breasts.

I just happened to have closed-caption on when this commercial came on, and the caption of the joke said "(translated from cantonese) You still owe him five bucks."

My gf said it was not Chinese, but perhaps she should have told me it was Mandarin. |

I'd never laugh at that.... I don't buy that translation....
The friend who gave me the original answer is a trekie fan who said it was a long standing joke with the film crew. I doubt that they would ever publish that in a closed caption... |

Do you think I made it up? I transcribed it EXACTLY as it was captioned on the TV screen. The next time It comes by I'll grab a screen capture.
I didn't claim it was an accurate translation. I just said thats what the closed caption read.

He looked at the commercial and came back almost instantly with the translation.
In either case, it's funny as hell! Made me laugh.  |
