made me giggle in a couple of spots, had some great shots, fantastic sounds and some cool ass cars. Been a while since a commercial caught me like this one.
Bet you neither Kimi nor Felipa was driving. Duh. We know that Felipa is out due to injury and come on, Kimi doing a commercial!
I could tell when they changed the car years as it went into the tunnel, you could hear the change to the distinct sound of todays cars.
Good clip. Thanks

You are not allowed to tell anyone, but I was behind the helmets. Me and Enzo go way back and when he wanted a personal favor I couldn't say no. I mean I guess I can drive your old clunkers around rome......

I watched it again just now and I think I enjoyed it more this time then last time. I took the time to notice the changes in the motor sound and I can't decide which one sounds better. It just keeps cumming and cumming and cumming and better with every single one. I love the part were all you see is the spray of water over the barracades. The cabbie and the asian lady that jumped when it streaked by.... HOW FUCKIN BAD ASS WOULD IT BE TO THE ON THE BEACH OF RIO OR THE DOCKS OF MONICO AND HEAR THAT BITCH SCREAM BY?
I also like the way they faded in and out subtly following the lines of the road and the lights going across the car. I don't mind the big ole shell symbol right infront of me when I can see the suspension and brakes working right next to it.
Why can't we get geico to use the same company that they did? I really hope that I never find that red-headed bitch in the white store in real life as I will end up serving life in prison with a smile for killing that cunt......
again a great commercial, deserves an award if they give them.......

Duel from a past era! In my mind one of the best if not the best final of a race! Ánd they just fight for second place! Look at their driving skills without any help from tons of electronics!

I figured as much, but thought it to be a foreign measurement of horsepower or the likes.

I can remember one year we went to carb day practice at indy. We were a few blocks from the brickyard when we heard a strange noise, very faint off in the distance. It kept growing louder and louder and LOUDER until we walked in and bought our earplugs. If you have never been around one you can't imagine an engine sounding that angry and loud, but controlled all at the same time. It truely sounds as though satan himself is trying to claw his way out of that thing........

I had a chance and watched the last grand prix at the A1 Ring in austria in 2002!
The race where Barrichello leaded until the end when ferrari turned his engine down so Schuhmacher could pass him 50 yards before the finish line! It was an amazing day í´ll never forget!
Burning ferrari flags, bottles thrown onto the track, people just freaked out that day! I never like him due to the fact that formula 1 got boring because of him and ferrari.

Why would they turn his engine down so Schuhmacher could win? Sounds like dirty business to me.

It was real dirty business! And the whole FIA was mad about it and all the spectators were mad too!
