Hah, badass commercial. Only part I don't understand is the red convertible. What does it run over, and why does it seem so epic as to merit like 5 camera angles?

Old signature just wasn't doing it for me anymore, so now I have this new one. It's equally as stupid but at least it looks really long. I'm probably just going to keep typing until I run out of things to babble about and see how many people actually read this. I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!

I assume you can figure out the donuts, the others are accomplished with lots of shifting and complete disregard for the longevity of the transmission.

Thank you for finding the whole piece. I had seen a segment of it, but never had from start to finish.

Also, with the convertible, the guy went over with his hands in the air. I think it was to illustrate how stable the car was even with both left tires blown out.

KiwiKiwi

Wow! I'd like to see the Outtakes clip sometime!

Probably the longest commercial I have ever watched, but the skill of those drivers is completely amazing. However, like a previous poster said, I too would like to see the outtakes...

lazyaznguy

wow... damn that's incredible

MSD

Pops the tires, guy has hands in the air, car still goes straight

The spinning is accomplished by slamming the shifter back and forth from reverse to drive every time the car starts to spin, and keeping th gas to the floor to keep it in motion.

It must be great to have cars to practice on!

This video is quite impressive..

Is it all legit?

Particularly, the part where the cars are on two wheels, and turn?

That's possible?

i take it you never got to see the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard or even the spin off Enos.

Yes, it's very possible, and easy to do. It's not CGI, look at the date at the end and you'll see the commercial is from 1988
