Default Great Commercial

I recieved this from a friend of mine. It is really something. You have to take a look. Car parts set up like dominos.

Click link below or Copy and paste - ENJOY

This is what he sent:

There's a good chance you've probably seen the new Honda Accord TV spot. But just in case you haven't, here 'tis...

What you can do with parts from a Honda Accord.

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.

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.

Click or copy & paste Below and turn up your picture and sound !!
