Honda Civic pays tribute to Cannonball Run.

“As far as I know there’s no such thing
as copyright of an idea.”
– A Honda spokesperson.

“The secret to creativity is knowing how
to hide your sources.”
– Albert Einstein

Man, they sure do love proving the former.

First there’s Tron love here. Followed by Cog inspired by this. Then during the Oscars Sunday night, I caught a 2005 Danica Patrick Honda Civic spot which gave itself up after five seconds because it was totally ripped off from Cannonball Run and the same exact scene where Valerie Perrine stops Adrianne Barbau for speeding.

(Anybody with a link to the Danica Honda commerical, please send it as I’m still looking for it.)
