Coolest commercial ever...

[dlavery]

If you look at the ramp through the window portion very, very closely you can see that the wooden ramp is actually two parts that butt up against the window. There is a very small seam in the ramp through which the window passes (I had to step through it frame by frame to spot it). The left side of the ramp is supported by the hydraulic jack, the right side is supported by the metal stand that also holds up the battery to power the window washers.

There are two things that look questionable to me: the fluid pouring out of the coolant reservoir that tips the flat plate with gears that fall into the engine block, and the rolling muffler. For the fluid, notice that when the reservoir tips a large gush of fluid pours out, indicating that the reservoir is nearly full. Yet when it is resting on its side, with the opening at the bottom, nothing else pours out after the initial splash. For the rolling muffler, it seems that the amount of rolling friction incurred by the muffler would prevent it from rolling as far as it does without some additional energy being added to the system. The initial roll down the inclined plane does not appear to be sufficient to add the energy needed.

Still, it is an unbelievably cool commercial!
