Buycott is available on iTunes and Google Play.

Spock Mocks Spock for Audi

A new ad for Audi -- at the expense of Mercedes Benz -- features Spocks both old and new.  I love it, liking both actors quite a bit.  I've owned several Audis and enjoyed each of them.  Never owned a Mercedes Benz, but have driven quite a few.  Either way, you are driving a nice automobile.  First world problems indeed!
