OT: Nissan buys guy's 1996 Maxima off craigslist, restores it, makes a fake commerc

[ryan roopnarine]

ial about it, and puts the car on display at one of their facilities.
For you people in the rest of the world, a Maxima is kinda like a Nissan Cephiro.
I'm not a Nissan fan, but I got to give them kudos for doing this. The car's seller originally made an amusing youtube video to advertise it, which went viral last year, resulting in nissan buying the guy's car and restoring it. It's nice to see Nissan poking fun at itself; I like how they took out the guy's aftermarket CD player, put a factory tape deck back in, and had a gloved hand inserting a cassette during the commercial (among other things).
