Topic: Altamont-vet Lemons car stars in amazing OK Go music video

Remember the Make:Way Ford Escort from the '08 Altamont race? One of the team members was hired to work on the massive Rube Goldberg installation used in a video for the band OK Go, and the Escort gets into the act!

That was amazing one of the longest Rude Goldberg devices I can recall, much longer than the one the Mythbusters created.
