There was once a TV commercial featuring Amish drag racing, but it was with drawn due to litigation: not by the Amish, but by Pepsi Cola!

Here's the story:

Article.

Commercial.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

I've reported it before, but about 30 years ago in the small town of Magna, on the far west side of the Salt Lake Valley, two friends in a bar got into it. One of them went outside, unhitched the other's horse and offered him for sale to a passing woman. The offended party called the cops.

The Charge: Attempting to sell property that did not belong to him.
The Reason: "Horse Theft" was still a hanging offense in Utah.

I like that commercial. Amish dress or not, the girl is cute. :sunny:

the site where that ad is hosted, takes longer to load than an Amish doing the quartermile...

Loads fast (less than 5 seconds) when I tried to access it...
