I always picture the GW employees in their stores trying to get everybody to
yell "Waaugh!" Remember the Isuzu commercials, where the Toyota guy was
trying to get their customers to jump up in the air, like on Toyota

You can tell I'm old, not only because I remember the commercial, but
because I'm telling about it again here, which I'm pretty sure I've done
before. :-)
