I'm having a hard time with the 3 tires going up in the first ramp. However, excellent engineering.

That is just a matter of getting some weight inside the top part of the tires, then giving them a small nudge will make them go upwards.

It took 605 attempts and three months for them to get this to work. Cost : 6 million bucks! You can Google Honda Commercial for more info.... It's getting to be a hit commercial. :wavey:

I think that this relates to what we do as far as trying to sell photos, but on a grander scale.... some hard work, imagination and perseverence and you could hit the really big numbers.

A friend told me today he saw an article about this ad and that it took 600 takes to get it right. If he gets me the link I'll forward it to you here.
