Depending on when you grew up, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off could well have been a movie that shaped your adolescence. 25 years after its release, Matthew Broderick is back, this time ditching work instead of school and subbing a Honda CR-V for the Ferrari GT. While we can’t condone his abandonment of the Ferrari, we can applaud the sheer creativity at work in re-creating some of Ferris’s most memorable moments.
His best friend Cameron is sadly absent, but see if you can spot the quick homage to him in the form of a Detroit Red Wings jersey.
The Acura NSX is still years away from its debut (the automaker says it’ll debut within three years), but that’s not stopping the company from unveiling a creative new ad with Jerry Seinfeld at the helm. It sounds as though it will run during the Super Bowl on Sunday, but here’s the lengthier version of the ad. And while it’s downright hilarious, we can’t get over how sleek the NSX looks.

OK, we lied. It couldn’t be harder to win a free Ford F-150, but this lady with absolutely no hockey experience made some of the NHL’s best sharpshooters look like amateurs.
This story has been blowing up on the internet and we couldn’t help but share it too.
59-year-old Brenda Hewlett had visited Frenchie’s Ford (the dealership giving away the truck) a few days earlier to get service work done on her failing truck. While talking to the Service Manager, Joe Jock, Brenda said, “I wish I could afford a new truck, mine is falling apart”. Joe gave her the ballot in which she could enter for a chance to win the new truck. Check out Jalopnik for more of the back-story.
Brenda, who has apparently never held a hockey stick, made an amazing shot to win a Ford F-150. The shot was from the far blue line, 3/4 of the rink away from the net (114 feet). The shot becomes even more impressive when you take into account that the net was completely blocked except for a small, puck-sized hole in the dead center.
The actual shot comes in at around the 1 minute mark, but the 60 seconds leading up to it gives you an idea of just how improbable it was.

Herb Younger thought the film crews that were recording him were documenting three generations of an American family. Little did he know that his two sons were planning to surprise him with his old car, a 1965 Chevy Impala SS.
In the early 90s, Herb sold the Impala to help pay for his sons’ education. It took the boys five years to track down the car and bring it back to their dad, but it was worth the wait.
We’d say more about the video, but it’s getting a little dusty in here.
