Does anyone else want to gag while watching their upbeat unrealistic commercials?

I mean, it's like, all you have to do is get a hovearound(sp) and you are imediately free to roam the hills and valleys, the grand canyon and beyond.

You don't need any ramps, lifts, helpers, transportation vans, drivers....nothing...just a hovearound. You, all at once, have many hovearound friends to roustabout with.....places to go and things to do...WoooooHoooooo!!!

Gag...Gag.....Gag.

LMAO!!!!! SAL! That is sooo true! I love how they only show the thing moving around outdoors or in wide-open homes with extra-wide doorways. It's so stupid, they never show anyone exiting a home, trying to manage their belongings, getting the door closed, navigating ramps or uneven terrain, etc. That thing is a piece of junk.

I feel so badly for people who get sucked into those ads. They aren't selling mobility, they're selling a mortgage. A couple years ago, my elderly neighbor called me out of the blue and she was upset & whispering into the phone. I asked what was wrong and she said she was hiding in her bathroom to call me and asked me to come over and make the Hoverround salesman go away!

She had called about their "free in-home test drive" and had basically set herself up for an ambush. She told him that it wasn't what she wanted and the guy would not leave for over 4 hours. I kicked him out and threatened to call the police and file harrassment charges. The little moron had the audacity to ask me if I was interested in one!

Yes, they are irritating. My DF was on a streak where he mentioned these commercials every time we talked, going so far as to repeat the telephone number for me over and over and over. It got to where I wanted to scream. I kept telling him that I can't use something like that because we don't have a ramp, we have a car and not a van, etc. Finally, he quit mentioning it.

Cindy, I feel so bad for your poor neighbor. I'm glad you could come to her rescue!

I could never figure out what those two old ladies were yelling while sitting in front of the grand canyon. 42 commercials later... I finally figured it out. I am thankful for the hoverround company - they are the only thing that got my mom to finally buy a wheelchair. I threatened to sick the hoverround sales rep on her and she got a Jazzy. She loved that thing right from the start. She's getting ready to upgrade to a different type of chair and - this time she's going with a pink one!

What do they say, Gret? Something like, "LOL! Our kids will be making payments on these things looooong after we've rotted! LOL!!"?

or

"What were we thinking?!?! You be Thelma and I'll be Louise."?

I can just see you two going off the grand canyon on your hoverrounds at high speed..

This is MAD FUNNY, Cindy!
