On that PBS program I mentioned, a similar tire-trick was used- same way- ball bearings. NOt sure about the other things. The muffler roll looked legit to me, but I haven't figured out the window part yet. Cameron beat me to that one- notice the ball bearings on the inside of the wheels.

There's a slashdot article from about 4 or 5 days ago discussing this to death, of course.

We assume the plank is on an incline, as when the window gives way, the cylinder starts rolling again. If the plank was on an incline, the cylinder wouldn't stop right before the second wrenchy-looking thing. And as for the car in question, i love my civic, and would by a whole fleet of them if i could. Ok … here are the places where I found that this could NEVER have been done without special effects.
