July 9, 200620 yr So in the D-Rays game tonight Kazmir was pulled and it was time for a pitching change, the Maroone song comes on and they sing the song..... "if you need a car, truck or van, who ya gonna call........" but instead of "MAROOOOONE!" it was "AUTOOOOWAY!!!" It was so bizarre not hearing Maroone.
July 9, 200620 yr AutoNation is the umbrella company for Maroone in So Fla., AutoWay in Tampa, John Elway (yes, you read right) in Denver, etc. They're the same company, but with different brand names for each market; thus, they all share the same advertising elements, including the jingle and "Ghostbusters" music.
July 9, 200620 yr In the Orlando area it's Courtesy, same song and everything, but instead of Maroone they say Courtesy.

Maroone is the flagship group though. Maroone has been using that jingle for almost 20 years. Mike Shad is the Jacksonville name. Wayne founded AutoNation and Maroone merged in and took over.

THERE'S NO REASON TO LIVE ANYMORE! *jumps out window* It's not around here in Maine (except on MLB.TV), but you have to put up with "Jolly John" :plain. He's really not that bad anymore, but he used to dress up in chicken suits. Now he's just left with his strong Maine accent. ("If you want to pay more, that's your business; but if you want to pay less, that's aaaauuuuuhh business.")
