very cool. I could pick apart a few things that looked a little rigged, but sometimes reality does things you wouldn't expect. No matter what it's a great spectacle! thanks, Jack.

its a good commercial. the part where the thing rolled up the inclined plane was kinda unreal, but the rest of it was good.

There's probably half a dozen other mirrors out there as well.

In fact Le Car explained that part even before the article was published. Apparently the guy he sold his old Civic to made that commercial.
