The Toronto Film Festival is in full swing, and Audi put some planning and effort into making sure they had a unique way of advertising: they attached magnets to hundreds of model Audis and stuck them all over Toronto, from street lights to billboards, and even in front of a Cadillac CTS-V.  While magnetizing model cars and sticking them all over a city may not seem clever … watch the video after the jump – the ending ties it all together perfectly.

MythBusters Host Jamie Hyneman

On last night’s MythBusters, hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman wrecked a bunch of cars.  Why, you ask?  All in the name of science.  In a previous episode, Jamie said that two cars hitting each other at 50mph was the same as one car hitting an immovable object at 100mph.  Viewers wrote letters to the pair of hosts, complaining that Jamie was incorrect.  Read on for the videos and more synopsis.

I thought this was too cool not to share with you.  Shell Oil commissioned a commercial showing how its new Helix oil works.  The ad agency that created the commercial recreated a Nissan 370 Z sports car in order to showcase the oil, and if you’ve ever wondered how oil works in your car’s engine, click past the jump to see the commercial and a behind-the-scenes video showing a little bit about how it was made.

Video: iPad / Ford SYNC

While we already know of an iPad integrated into a car stereo, the enterprising gentlemen in the video after the jump got an iPad to work with a stock Ford SYNC system.  While it doesn’t work with the Ford’s built-in USB connector, it does work over bluetooth audio, the same as an iPhone would.  Voice commands don’t work in that mode, but the guys in the video say that that feature is coming.  Click here to read my review of the SYNC system.

The guys at SoundMan Car Audio got their hands on an Apple iPad and promptly got to work, installing it in a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck.  They used a bunch of high-quality car stereo components to finish off the install, and it looks pretty sweet!  Check out the video after the jump to see how and what all they did.
