HA!!!!

I've seen the previous commerical where M. Andretti does the whole turn left, turn left, why would you want to turn right? which I thouhgt was hillarious because it was poking fun at IRL.


The new one is absoultely hillarious. The converstation goes...
(OG=Other guy,AN=Announcer Guy)

MA: "Have you ever driven stick before?"
OG: *dumb look*
MA: Alright rev it up to 9000 and drop the clutch.
- shows car peeling out to a start -
MA: *nod* Good...
MA: Alright I want you to hit the apex at this next left.
MA: Take it flat out, Right Here....
MA: Take this next corner, but don't touch the brake....
AN: Michael Andretti and 6 honda drivers are competing in the IRL....
MA: Did you just touch the brake?
MA: OOOH, this is a good drafting oportunity, hug in behind her.
- cuts to a girl on a bike w/ s2k following closely -
AN: See you at the track.....
*honda logo*



I love the new honda commericals. The whole time the video is showing a s2k drifting around some neightborhood.




To bad IRL blows.

I wonder if this is now an official Honda endorsement of "rev it to 9,000 and drop the clutch." Can this be used against them if they deny warranty claims for "abuse?"

I hope so

I am sure that the fine print says "professional driver and we do not endorse or condone dropping the clutch" The lawyers wouldn't let it out w/o a denial of liability.
