Default For gearheads and rivet bangers

Not RV related, but anyone who likes things mechanical will appreciate this clip from Honda. It took over 500 attempts to complete...

I was actually believing it- right up to the point where the tires and rims rolled up hill. Notice the next to last one continues to roll up after it hits the last tire. Great ad, though.

It is real and it is in two takes (because the studio wasn't big enough). The tires are rolling up hill but the cg is going downhill... they put weights in the top of the tires so they would roll up hill.

Check here for details:

Default Price of cars

Probably could have saved some money the cost of the car with the amount it cost to make that commercial. Cool though.

That must be the new Accord wagon.
