    Nice! My personal favorite was the ad they did with Joe Isuzu for the golf tourney they sponsor?

    The ad showed him hitting shot after shot after shot, in the rough, on the fairway, off the water, into and out of bunkers, then finally into the cup after about 15 strokes. Then it showed him walking away from the pin marking his scorecard saying, "Birdie!"

    Talking

    Awesome! I'd give good money for a compilation of all the Joe Isuzu commercials. Two of my favorites were the one of him on a tropical island and the one where he was on a telephone pole intercepting calls to a Toyota dealership.

    Jeff Goldblum. Yeah, I think he did the voice for the ad campaign that included one showing a kid coloring outside of the line before segueing to a woman driving a Rodeo off the highway into the desert.

    A friend of mine had an Impulse turbo back in the day -I was soo jealous of his comfy (Recaro) seats and the driver's cluster that moved up and down with the steering wheel.

    The Impulse was the vehicle that made me an Isuzu convert. My 1984 Impulse, purchased as an off-lease in 1986...

    It gave me almost 170K trouble-free miles. And lots of speeding tickets.

    LOL

    Loved those wheels.

    I bought the car while living in Daytona Beach and the silver finish didn't hold up too well, especially since I was on the beach 4 or 5 days a week (Impulses look funny with a roof rack and short board). When I moved back to central Florida it got a repaint of Deltron Black with red pearl in the clear, same for the wheels except the black squares were also done in Fire Red. Oh, two matching Fire Red racing stripes also. Hey, it was the 80's! LOL! I'll have to find a pic and scan it...
