What I don't get is the whole "they advertised this car doing this or that so it should be covered under warranty" thing.

I'm sure every one of those ads somewhere had the fine print "professional driver on a closed course, do not attempt" disclaimer in them.

For example, the Ford F150 demo below was a commercial, and was actually performed (is not CG), I seriously doubt Ford is going to cover anything under warranty that breaks if you actually do this. I'm sure there are 100s of other examples, particularly with trucks.
