When General Motors prepared to debut the C6 Corvette back in 2004, they put together a collection of television commercials that introduced the new Corvette by reminding people what the Corvette always had been a dream car. One such commercial focused on the scores of young automotive enthusiasts around the country, showing a young boy who appears to be maybe 12-14 driving the C6 Corvette. The commercial also showed the boy flying around his school in the car like, literally flying in the air.This Corvette commercial was chocked full of stunts that even the best trained drivers couldn"t pull off and when you factor in the flying cars, this C6 ad was very clearly intended to be a dream sequence piece of sorts.Unfortunately, a bunch of social watchdog groups thought that this commercial encouraged young kids to drive recklessly, so the commercial was pulled in order to make all of the crybabies happy.Fortunately, the commercial lives on via YouTube and it is the subject of this week"s Throwback Thursday. Enjoy! Tags: c6, Corvette, throwback thursday
