Ah, Subaru -- what can't you do?
In an on-going effort to out-garden the neighbors, Kellie and I made several trips to Home Depot (or Home Despot, as a friend of ours likes to call it) to buy gardening supplies over the weekend. On Saturday we bought 25 bags of topsoil and four bags of peat moss. On Sunday we bought tomato plants and bell pepper plants and strawberry plants. And then, in the mother of all Home Depot trips, we bought 28 flagstones (12-by-12) and four trees, two apple and two pear.
As we were driving back home, the tops of the four trees poking through the open sunroof, it occurred to me that we were doing more than running errands. We were, in fact, inside a Subaru commercial. If filmed and properly spliced together -- and with the addition of a jazzy soundtrack -- I believe our Sunday afternoon could have made for an excellent 30-second spot. We even washed and vacuumed the car so the final shot could be of the vehicle gleaming in the driveway after a job well done. Obviously you’d want to edit out my vigorous, unholy swearing while attempting to load the trees into the car, but once you’ve done that I think you’ve got yourself a lovely commercial.
