If anyone is in Europe and buys that car, tell me which button makes it do that.

hmmmm...
With some well placed attachments, and an animation that pulled the AV down to his stomach, with legs and arms scrunched around behind, this is very buildable in SL. - Ace _____________________

Very cool ad.
If this ad was shown on US television, I'm sure it would have to have a disclaimer because someone would buy the car and try to return it because it didn't transform.  _____________________

Wow that was really funky.
Which brings to mind... I wonder what the Transformers live-action movie will be like? It's slated for 2006. And I'm not sure, in light of robot effects, how "live-action" it will actually be. Hrm. _____________________

That is so wicked. Thank you Nick! I'll bet you're wondering if there's a Transformer that changes from a giant bong into a big-leaf mecha configuration, firing out tokes as it flies around and gets down.  _____________________

There was a cooler car commercial posted on these forums way back by someone.... it was like a 2 minute long continuous sequence where they had a huge line of random car parts setup perfectly to interact in a chain reaction (like a long line of dominos..)
Only, this was entirely out of car parts....very varied car parts. I think it was a European commercial. Maybe someone still has a link to it... _____________________

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS! |

That's the famous Honda "Cogs" ad you're referring to.
I think this link works... I hope it does: http://www.griffinnet.co.uk/honda-ad.htm _____________________

That sounds like it.
So why do the other 99.9% of car commercials make you want to stick a hot poker into your eye socket? _____________________
