In a follow-up to a question, I wrote:

To which Ken Sheppardson responded:

To which I reply:

Thanks for making my day a happy one. :-(

I SPECIFICALLY STATED "If I am thinking of the same commercial..."

I fail to see how mis-remembering a commercial is just cause for insulting
my knowledge of aviation.

Incidentally, there IS a car commercial which involves the car driving around
an SR-71.

As to what this has to do with the space shuttle: absolutely nothing.  I
figured that since Mr Sheppardson took the trouble to post his message (as
opposed to informing me politely of my error via e-mail), I might as well
respond in kind.  In this I apologize to any I have inconvenienced.
