Change the font to something a bit more formal perhaps. Make sure you center all the text from top to bottom. Right now some of the text is higher than the others which takes way from the impact of reading it.
It's still funny, even so.

Mike,
Just remember to ask for specifications from the advertiser who will most definitely limit the file sizes and will probably keep your frames per animated gif to less than 4 or 5 frames.

That's great. My buddy that lives 2 houses down from me has a civic. It's modded, but not real ricey. If you want some pics of his civic and my runner, let me know... I'm sure he and I can set something up. Just let me know what shots/angles/etc. you want.

Mike,
I can send you some samples from my past company. I'll have to dig them out from my archived cd-roms but I'll get them to you. They are car-related.
Also, what software are you using?

Nice Mike! I don't think you will have a copyright problem... you see those sayings all over the place... but I like whats already said. Don't show the runner til its mentioned. And get a good head on shot of the TJM at a low angle. Will give it a much more macho feel, which goes along with the text. Do you mind if I play some?

you never know who here may work for them Considering we just settled for $1billion and another suit is going on with Best Buy...resources are a way too low to even consider such a small case.
I think its funny. I likes
Needs different font/colors. Center it better if you can.

Its the other way arround. BestBuy is sueing MasterCard and Visa. Same reason as the Walmart settlement. Everytime you use a debit card but hit the credit button, the bank that issues you your credit card (ie. CitiBank, MBNA, ect) makes around 1.5% of the purchase. If you hit the debit button they get like $0.06. HUGE difference. MastCard and Visa set these rates...thus we are getting sued.
Thats why you see banks that issue you your debit cards enter you in free trips and stuff everytime you hit the credit button instead of the debit. You may have heard the phrase "skip the pin and win!". Well, they are making a whole lot more money off the merchant (ie best buy) everytiime you do that.
Just like to note that MasterCard does NOT get any of that %1.5. They basically get a franchise fee per transaction which pays our employee paychecks and thats about it. MasterCard was non-profit up to a couple of years ago. We are barely making profit now. We provide services basically. We dont have anything to do with interest rates, fees, ect. So if you are pissed at your credit card company, chances are you should be pissed at your bank (chase, mbna, citi, ect.)

Mike:
It looks great now!
Is it supposed to cycle through? I only noticed the change towards the end and after waiting 1/2 a minute for it to cycle I just refreshed the page.
Definitely an eye catcher though.
I really do like your logo icon though.

The only thing I would add, if you could is something about their ridiculous spoilers or body kits, it would make it just a bit longer, cuz most of thoe MasterCard commericals have like 3-5 different things. But otherwise that is awesome!
