Obviously – the power of this advertisement would increase 10 fold had someone just randomly re-created this “based on a true story” story of 5 Taiwanese friends who spent 13 days traveling around Taiwan in memory of their lost friends But then it wouldn’t be an advertisement – and we probably would watch it.
Genius.
“I Think Something Went Wrong”

I don’t think I could have said this any better myself. Good thing this was during practice at the Toyota Speedway Global Rally Cross.

My Rally Fighter
[iDevice Link] <— 5,699
An open source car + A designer with laser vision = the Rally Fighter.
“Imagine a car built by people who are driven by passion… rather then some cubicle monkey worried about his deadlines an TPS reports.”
This is what Local Motors has been dreaming of and building out of their factory in Phoenix, Arizona and their first community co-created production car is the Rally Fighter.
I partied with Local Motors at SEMA – Sat in a Rally Fighter – Tore one apart – Put one back together – And now I want one.
Order Rally Fighter #138 for $59,000 and you get to spend 6 days building it yourself at the Local Motors micro factory and drive it off the lot. Or just call Sarah Stokes directly at (480) 371-6797 and drop your $1,000 down payment. Tell her Hydle sent you, but be careful… she is cooler, smarter and tougher then you are.

“I’ve done so much with so little for so long that now I can do anything with nothing.”
I love this quote… and overall enjoy this video. But it’s a little too long and a bit too draggy for multiple viewing sessions. Cool car though… but the music needs to evolve.
Chrysler – Born of Fire (Imported from Detroit)
Super Bowl Ad favorites are coming in from every direction. Lets jump into who was in charge of some of these creative pieces.

Super Bowl XLV Advertisement Brand – Chrystler
Commercial Name – Born of Fire (Imported from Detroit)
Hydle Ranking – Almost Genius
Eminem previously appeared in a “Brisk” Super Bowl Ad that blatantly states why he does NOT do commercials prior to this Chrysler ad running. Whether it was unfortunate timing or not… the two ads did not jive with me.

Super Bowl Advertisement Rankings
I haven’t concluded my super bowl ad recap yet, but as usual… rankings are coming in from all over.
Animal Ads Resonate with Viewers
The overall number one ad with viewers (overall score of about 72.3) was “Saluting Beaver” from Bridgestone, featuring a motorist who is able to avoid hitting a beaver and then plunging into a river thanks to tire traction (and a little rodent-supplied assistance). “Saluting Beaver” scored first in both emotion ranking (evoking most possible positive and least possible negative emotions) and water cooler ranking (likelihood of participants discussing the ad at the water cooler the next day), and third in interest ranking (how well it held the interest of viewers).
Meanwhile, the self-explanatory “Dog Party” ad from Bud Light, which came in third overall, ranked first in viewer interest.
Automotive Ads Take Three Top 10 Spots
Three of the top 10 ads, including the number one ad, were for autos or automotive products. Two ads were for snack food, and one ad promoted a product in each of the following five categories: the NFL, beer, film, soda, and online portal.
The New Audi Quattro – Happy 30 Years
[iDevice Link] <— 1.447 views
There is a new car on the block. A concept Audi Quattro to celebrate the last 30 years of the most advanced 4 wheel drive system in the world.
*Atrocious music (they should have learned from themselves <— 31,316)… but the history lessons are good.
Almost Genius.
More quattro

Don’t believe in Audi’s 4 wheel drive system? Here is more quattro proof… enjoy.
Pikes Peak – 1985 Audi quattro
[iDevice Link] <— 791,069 views
In this video you will see Michele Mouton setting a new record on The 1985 Pikes Peak International Hillclimb in her factory sponsored Group B, Audi Sport quattro S1 with a time of 11:25.39. She was not only the fastest overall in 1985, but also set a record which still remains unbeaten to this day by a female driver.
Just another movie for those of you who don’t understand the difference between 4 wheel drive… and quattro.
