The tires were weighted. It took 606 takes to make everything work. More info here and here (links stolen from Slashdot). Quicktime version of the commerical here



Thank you for the working link!!

For the uninitiated, the Accord that is in this commercial is a the Japanese and British market version. A bit smaller than the American Accord. However, the US is getting this car (sedan only for now) as the Acura TSX available just about now...B|
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Remember the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Dick Van Dyke was an inventor who had all kinds of gadgets to make breakfast, and other things around the house.

The person who is famous for these kinds of inventions - finding a more interesting way to do ordinary things, was Rube Goldberg.

I remember seeing the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie when it came out, and my Mom telling me about Rube Goldberg. I can remember a TV special about him too.

The children's game Mousetrap is another common example of his style.

This Honda commercial is definitely one of the best examples of this that I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing it!
