Honda Accord Commercial (awesome)

Well i did a search and havn't seen this posted yet... I also havn't seen this on tv yet, but others may have. At any rate this is an awesome commercial, not because of the car.... but because of the rest of it, you just have to view it to know what i mean.
Take note that NOTHING is computer generated and it was all a real setup. I lost the links to several write ups about this commercial, but i assure you its all real. I can't remember how many takes it took to get this "domino" effect to work, but it was quite a few.
If anyone ever played the game mousetrap they'll have appreciation for this.
At any rate give it a watch, didnt take me too long to download on cable....

EDIT PS: and ya my first question was if this is real how did the tires roll uphill?!? well the answer is they're weighted.... the info was in the write ups that i cant find lol.

How can you explain the tires going up the ramp?? Seems unrealistic to me

Otherwise, that was a great commercial

weighted at the top so when they begin to roll the weight pulls the tire, pulls it just far enough to hit the next tire...... simple

also the window rolling down is easy, the metal tube that rolls towards the window stops on two wires coming up through the board... obviously it makes a circuit which controls the window
