Ya - it was pretty cool in 2006 when it was first released - but I think just about everyone has seen that Honda Commercial with the car parts several times by now

WHOA sorry there hot shot!! First time I ever saw it.

Right hand drive -- must be for the Australian or UK market. Or of course the Japanese market.

Supposedly everything in that was parts from one Accord. It definitely took some time to get it all together.

I believe it took over 100 takes to get the final shot.

Some of you guys need to get out more.....and some of you need to lighten up a bit

-And there's virtually no CGI. The only part of that whole sequence that was even remotely "faked", was that it was done in two halves, simply because they couldn't find a room or space long enough. The "join" is where the muffler rolls.

The tires on the incline were weighted internally (also using parts of the car) so they'd roll upwards when bumped.

Well, since that was a video, that of which is usually seen on tv or computer/smartphone, I don't think we're the guys who need to get out more... In fact, I was probably out working, or out on my Harley, something like that when it aired...

Ive never seen it either. Im sure it was never played in the states as it shows a right hand drive car. We're all obviously not nearly as cool as that dbag Git
