Pontiac made a commercial for the new G8 based on the old Spy Hunter game, one of my all time favorites. Nice!

20,000 miles

It’s odd. I don’t consider myself one of those “world travelers”. A year ago I didn’t even really have the desire to travel outside of the U.S. “There’s so much to see here, I don’t need to go over the ocean,” I would say. But life has an odd way of [...]
