Something tells me I've seen that before, wasn't there another commercial that did the same thing, or is this that same commercial??

Yeah it's an old commercial. It's PIMP none the less.

yea its been around for a loooonggg time, but if you go to its official website (i dunno where it is, search for it) you'll see that they did like 400 takes or something...because all of the things you see in the commercial are done without any extra parts or any hidden wires or what not, everythings real. they show behind the scenes stuff and some other cool things so check it out

That was one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. I can't imagine the heartache when it got almost to the end and something went wrong on like the 578th take.

I was showin someone the vid again teh other day, and we noticed something that CANNOT be real. If you watch closely when the wheels are rollin up the ramp, the second wheel up barely start rolling, and then speeds up suddenly. Even better, it starts rolling back down and then comes back up for no reason. As far as I can see, there is nothing for it to bump to knock it back up.[p]Link doesn't seem to be workin, so here:[br]http://www.ebaumsworld.com/honda-ad.html

If you read the article they expain it. The wheels were weighted internally. They were balanced just right so they would start to roll up with the slightest touch. once rolling the weight took over and they sped up.

I can understand and believe that, but the wheel hit the one above it, started down, and then came back up for no reason. I don't care what kind of balancing they do, physics says that ain't gonna happen.
