That was pretty darn cool. The site says it took 600+ tries to do... I don't know, but it looked kind of fake to me on some parts... but either way, it was sure neat.

Yeah, that has to be one of the best ads I've ever seen. I agree with ryan, parts do look fake, like the tires rolling uphill, and the muffler rolling that far, but its still amazing they could get all that to work in sequence. I've never seen it on TV though. One thing I can't figure out is how the window rolls down with the piece of wood through it, or am I missing something. I don't think anything was animated, just some parts were "helped" in doing their job.

It looks like the wood through the window is two pieces. The tires rolling up hill seem fake as the one seems to bounce and continue to roll uphill after impacting the next one.

Unless you can watch it close a few times, it's hard to catch.

There is a film like this that goes on and on and on, can't recall the name-. You see it on public tv at 3am everyonce in a while.....

I read an article on that. the tires were weighted on one side to make them roll uphill. that is why it appears to keep going up.

It was all real, using old school techniques, the reason it looks fake is the crappy quality of the videos that are floating around now. The original that I saw (back when it first came out) was awesome.
