The Vibe as a stunt vehicle

Post by ebslopp »

I was flipping through the channels this morning and came across a show about stunt drivers. They were filming a Pontiac commercial and the Vibe was used in it along with the rest of the Pontiac line-up. They gave a website at the end. Check it out: http://www.pontiac.com/stuntme...sm1tv The actual show has more footage of the Vibe doing powerslides and stuff. The commercial of course showcases the most expensive cars.

Yep, old news. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=9806I digitized the entire program...it's available for download.I broke the show into 3 parts, approximately 10 minutes each. The files are compressed into ZIP archives, each approximately 10 MB.Sorry mac users, I don't have access to a quicktime encoder. If someone wants to hook me up with one, I'll be glad to recode in quicktime.I've made each file into a ZIP archive to prevent anyone from accidentally streaming and killing my bandwith. Merely a safety precaution.The fourth video is a short except that showcases the Vibe. It provides no video that isn't already in the main program. I put that there for those who just wanna see the Vibe put to it's paces...
