VIRAL CAMPAIGNS & SITES WE LOVE

Advertisers are getting more creative all the time, and consumers seem to have a bottomless appetite for funny commercials, YouTube sensations, online widgets, and other innovations designed to get their attention.  Here is a look at eight fun campaigns and sites that are guaranteed to make you laugh, pique your interest, or at the very least, help a long day at the office pass a little faster!

1.  Ford Lets a Blind Man Drive - Roger Keeney lost his sight 20 years ago.  Follow him as he gets behind the wheel of a new Ford Mustang from Athens, Georgia to Surprise, Arizona.  Click here to watch his journey.

2.  The Ram Challenge - What happens when teams of firefighters, cowboys, contractors, and soldiers take the keys to four new Dodge Ram 1500 trucks and compete in the world's biggest, baddest obstacle course?  Watch the webisodes to find out!

3.  Mazda's "The Drive" - Try The Drive, the ultimate online sensory driving experience. Choose a Mazda RX-8 or Mazda MX-5 Miata, then select your destination from four locations for a virtual drive like no other. You can switch easily between three different camera angles and to make this a supreme sensory encounter, be sure to select a music track that suits you - or opt for the raw, heart-pounding road sounds. Don't forget to plug in your USB fan to simulate that wind-through-your-hair feel. Zoom Zoom!   Check it out!

4.  Jeep Community - Jeep fans and owners love this!  Watch the hilarious and campy adventures of Ranger Dail, become a fan on Facebook, browse upcoming events, or play the addictive Boostin Nuts 2 game.  Join now!

5.  YouTube Channels - Watch as amateur stunt drivers fly over hills, Midwestern farm kids "ghost ride" their pickups, and modified "drifters" show their stuff, browse concept cars, or just learn more about new models or maintenance tips.  Remember, don't try this at home!  Some of our favorite channels:  Jeep, Hyundai, Ford, Kelly Blue Book Reviews & Road Tests, Edmunds' InsideLine, and Chrysler.

6.  Go Green - All our brands are making huge strides in reducing their carbon footprint and improving fuel economy and emissions.  Investigate the innovations of Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Hyundai.

7.  Order Some Swag - Our customers are proud of their cars.  We stock premium branded merchandise in our Parts Departments to let you show off your ride.  Even more is available online, from Jeep tee-shirts, to Ford mugs, to fun RC cars and licensed tents, stereos, and more!  Perfect for gift-giving or spoiling yourself.  Browse:  Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, and Ford.

8.  CarDomain.com - Think of it like MySpace for cars or the world's biggest car show (online)!  Create a profile for your ride or look at the close to 700,000 performance mods, green machines, restorations, and more.  Some of our favorite profiles:  Kyle's MazdaSpeed3, Doug's Ford Flex (license plate: FLEXIN), and Kristin's Hyundai Geneis "Deuce" Coupe.  Send us yours (we love this stuff)!
