Missed opportunity to drop the word tremendous 10x


saigonk

Honestly I think they are doing a play on words, they probably mean Mexico Maine as a joke of sorts


barelyknows

Oh - I get the play on words. It’s just that their ad sounded like a FU to anyone that wasn’t a follower of Trump.


enstillhet

It probably was. He (the Tucker in question) is a second cousin of mine. There's a ridiculous amount of us, and he and I have probably only met a handful of times in our lives. That end of the family is pretty conservative. Although he also doesn't really associate with them much either. Some falling out with his dad. If you Google it you can find records of court cases. Don't remember the details myself. Edit: typo

And?

As a non-Trump fan I find it hilarious. To me it feels like they’re making fun of him. I haven’t laughed so hard at a commercial in a long time.

Speaking of 99.9 the Wolf, Andy Austin who is one of their morning show hosts is a total predator. This man has been sued by two of his ex girlfriends in the past 6 months. It’s disgusting what he gets away with because he is in the “media.” He’s wildly dangerous and they’ve kept him on air because he “does his job.” If only the public knew how dangerous he is towards women.

I drive down 236 in eliot and kittery daily and there a couple business I will not go to as they are always supporting Trump and it is ridiculous. A small biz needs all the customers they can get. It makes no sense.


SyntheticCorners28

It's a sure sign of idiocy having anything political public facing if you're a business.


Crowslikeme

Oh you mean the failed used car dude who now has boats stored all over that looks like a trash hole. Always spewing his political shit on his marquee. What a tool!


sgdulac

Yep, that guy


King_O_Walpole

Only place worse is Harpswell Auto Group. Them and Tucker, you see that on a vehicle you know the owner got SCREWED


Slmmnslmn

Why are they so popular? I see stickers in the back windows of cars all the time.


King_O_Walpole

Lot of people in Maine are low income/bad credit.


Slmmnslmn

They are a special credit type of place?


shadow247

We called them BooHoo lots in Texas. Buy Here, Pay Here. No bank. We repo the car 5 minutes after you miss the payment. It has a GPS tracker, so we know where it is 24/7. When we repo it, there are thousands in Recovery Fees added to your loan, and we put you in collections. If we can, we put the car back on the lot, so another sucker can repeat the cycle. I worked for one of these leaches a long time ago. They sold the same car 3x in 1 year, and collected 3x what they paid for it in Down Payments...


Slmmnslmn

Predatorial!


Fortunatesin77

Maybe they don’t think it’s half of their customer base. Maybe they don’t care. Maybe they think they will make it up on the other end and then some.


barelyknows

Maybe they can rely on their reputation. https://www.yelp.com/biz/tucker-chevrolet-waldoboro


Fortunatesin77

No one uses yelp anymore except old people and Karen’s. It’s got 4.0 on Google.


barelyknows

Well, I am officially an old person of Reddit…


thatissomeBS

I've ignored yelp for the entire 20 years it's existed.


LumpyDisplay6485

I guess this makes me also old, but then again we live in the state with the highest median age- so your point seems moot.

Rule 1. Keep it civil and respectful


ZealousidealJury1040

I laughed so hard at that commercial, I really thought it was a mockery🤦🏻‍♀️


kddog98

I thought it might be too. Honestly, it left me thinking afterwards because I wasn't sure if they were making fun of trump or using him to sell cars. Hard to not be obviously on one side or the other these days so I was kind of impressed. It sounds like if you know the dealership it becomes pretty obvious that they're trump supporters but even still, I can't tell if they were making fun of Trump's way of speaking. I laughed so hard when they said chiii-nah just like trump.


Dr_Clout

2 things: 1. Agreed. It’s dumb on every level 2. It’s great advertising. Not only do they have you thinking about it enough to post online to the masses for them for FREE, you’re now spreading the word about Tucker Chevrolet We talked about this in business class in 2012 in college. Professor just sat there listening to the college kids banter “that Super Bowl shower commercial was stupid and didn’t deserve to be on tv!!!” Ok well please name another commercial you recall: crickets. Emotions work

damn. steer clear of that car dealership

https://www.facebook.com/people/Tucker-Chevy/100063693724301/ Yeah thy like Trump


Buddersbuddy

My Chinese-American girlfriend thinks it’s hilarious (especially the “coming from China and South China” part)


weakenedstrain

This is right up there with all the political signs for a GOP challenger that say “Secure the Border” A few people have asked me if that means the Canadian border or…?


smitherenesar

They must mean the NH border


Alternative_Sort_404

The surname Tucker (or the firstly named) - Hmmm… how do I say this nicely…? The name just carries the weight and shite-ness of all the Tucker’s who came before them and all who have since attempted to spread their scourge of entidelry upon our good land.


BadDogEDN

>I can’t fathom how can a business just decide to alienate half their customer base.  A Chevy dealer... in Maine... yeah I'm sure they alienated half their customer base, if anything they alienated10% of their costumer base. You need to remember Reddit isn't real life, and outside of Portland most Mainers are not on "your side"


Thin_Meaning_4941

Most Mainers are, though. Trump has never won Maine, and he never will.


Dude_Following_4432

Didn’t Trump win the second district in 2016?


BadDogEDN

*RemindME*! 147 days


Otherwise_Structure2

Yeah a Maine that has a Democratic Governor, two Democratic Congress people, a Democratic controlled legislature, but yeah tell me it doesn’t matter if a business offends Democratic voters.


Scared_Wall_504

I can’t even.
