You know the car commercial that shows the vehicle driving to the top of a
ski ramp?

http://www.stupidvideos.com/stunts/cars_trucks_planes/audi_ski_ramp/

The truth is outed!

Spot is in German/Dutch/Swiss - but I understood enough to know that 1) car
could only make it 1/3 to 1/2 the way up by itself, 2) changing tires to
spiked tires only got it a bit further and 3) they had to cable it up (you
can clearly see the cable - but with clever computer editing, you can't in
the finished commercial!

Well, thank you, kid....another Indiana "in-the-know" fact for this dumb
southerner now in the west: I had NO idea that thing was a ski ramp,
thought it was some kinda European "Nevada flats" auto-testing place!
I see that commercial all the time and till my dying day would never have
deduced "ski ramp" for that thing w/o seeing skiiers on it. Looks like
they'd take their lives in their hands (uh, feet) to ski on that.
