ESPN the Magazine Centerfold ad for vette (big pic)

Wow, was I surprised when I was flipping through today's ESPN the Magazine, and came across this centerfold ad:

This is the first time that I remember seeing it in ESPN.

That's great, but my Corvette will never be "sitting on Daytons"

Actually it's pretty sad when GM needs to advertise the MOST ICONIC sportscar in American history.

It looks like they're more interested in expanding the market as opposed to advertising the 'vette.

Quoting LL Cool J, Daytons, and ESPN the magazine... I'm guessing they're trying to promote it as a blingin' status-mobile like the Escalades.

Maybe they just wanted to highlight that the quote was from somewhere else, and not just something made up for the ad???

Sorry for the blurry quality; I was trying to drive, focus, and take a pic at the same time, and something had to give.
