Have y'all seen that AMAZING Honda car commercial, COG?? It's all done with parts of the car (where the tires roll uphill, they've got parts INSIDE the tire that act as counterweights) - the thing is just incredible ...

That Honda ad had some "help" in spots I think.

No, Ed, it didn't - it was done (after a zillion tries) in one take. Where do you think it had "help"??

The rolling muffler didn't look right. I don't see it rolling that far with that little inertia.

Here's where you get that impression - snopes checked it out, it worked the way it looked, but they had to break it into two sections because they didn't have a studio big enough to do it in one, apparently. The sections were joined in video at the muffler sequence.

Yeah, I'm wondering if when they spliced the two shots they gave the muffler an extra roll or two. I just don't see it making that many rotations. I've never seen one roll that far with that much obliqueness to it.

Are you implying they would mislead with a commercial??? Say it ain't so!

Sigh. Ok, Ed.
