               Here's a 
              link to a Shell commercial shown in
 Europe .  Ostensibly, they're selling 
              gasoline, but the cars used in the video steal the 
              show.

Ferrari pulled several 
              of their race cars from various ages out of storage, flew them 
              around the world, and filmed them running through the streets of 
              Rome, Rio, New York, Hong Kong, Honolulu, and Monaco.   
              No CGI -these are the original cars on the original 
              streets.

The best part is the 
              sound - from the basso-profundo notes of the early, front-engine 
              era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with the wail 
              of a modern F1 car.
The sounds alone bring 
              a tear to the eye. 
               
            
            
            Even if 
            you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the 
            soul.

There's just something 
            about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM 
            !
