Apple pie, Chevrolet and street skating.
As seen in the May 2007 issue of People Magazine, this advert for the Chevy Cobalt features street skating prominently. Some publicist or team rider over at Powell ought to be getting a fat check for this product placement. Usually company logos are not so readily identifiable. As for the Devil Dogs lyrics to Brand New Chevy… Devil Dogs? Never heard of them, but according to Last.Fm “People who like The Devil Dogs also like New Bomb Turks, Radio Birdman, Supersuckers…” Really? OK, Sounds good, but going against their credibility is the fact that they released the song in 1989, which would not have been an especially noteworthy year in the annals of American car design. Is anyone in this day and age excited by new Chevrolets, Corvettes even? I doubt the Devil Dogs would find the Cobalt that inspiring, but I’m sure the publishing rights inspired their bank accounts. Enlarge the advert after the jump.

I’m going with Jordan Hoffart. Rides for Powell, I think he does stunt work on movies.
its not Omar…he shreds for Ford
Jordan rides for Powell and adio. this guy has nike shoes. . . i was trying to find somebody with these sponsors with no results.
The Devil Dogs are OK. Very much in the vein of the New Bomb Turks. Hardly earth shattering though.
