This is a pretty cool ad.... Click on site after reading this:

>Just Unbelievable! And you thought those people that set up a room
full
>of dominos to knock over were amazing...
>
> There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film.
>Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it.
>
> The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually
>very minor, didn't work.
>
> They would then have to set the whole thing up again.
>
> The crew spent weeks shooting night and day.
>
> By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions.
>
> The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete
>including full engineering of the sequence.
>
> In addition, it is two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film
>on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any
>one of us in clover for a lifetime.
>
> However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in
Internet history.
>
> Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in
>"free viewings"
>
> (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!).
>
> When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it
>immediately without any hesitation - including the costs.
>
> There are six, and only six, hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To
>the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them
>to make the film.
>
> Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp
>and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars.
>
> The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda
>executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer
>graphics have gotten.
>
> They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real.
> Oh. And about those funky windshield wipers...On the new
> Accords,
the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing
>their thing automatically as soon as they become wet. It looks a bit
>weird in the commercial.

yeah i would like to say it wasn't but tires wouldn't roll up a ramp from just a little bump like that. even though it was computer animated, it was damn cool. i remember seeing it on tv all the time.
