Mobil 1 and Tony Stewart->ke795 -- Smoke to most of us -- are up to a whole new bag of tricks with their commercials. This time around, they borrowed the plot of one of every car buff's favorite classic car flicks->ke3897, Smokey and the Bandit. As expected, Tony plays the Bandit -- a role once reserved for Burt Reynolds -- and he is driving a Trans Am->ke4427 nearly identical to the 1976 Trans Am that originally starred in the movie.

So far, Mobil 1 has released three episodes of the six-part series and a trailer. If you've watched the original Smokey and the Bandit movies, then you will appreciate that a lot of the scenes are nearly identical to the original, save for a few humorous modifications. If you have not seen the original movies yet, I suggest watching them before checking out this series -- you'll definitely need to have the original plot in mind to really grasp these remakes.

We'll pass on the remaining episodes as Mobil 1 releases them, so keep it locked on Smokey and the Bandit
