Sure, if you go fast enough and turn sharply enough.  It's just like
the Wall of Death at the carnival.  As to whether the car in the ad
was fulfilling the necessary conditions -- you could work the
calculations if you had some measurements, but my feeling is that it
was not, ergo it didn't really happen.

I don't think the Vanagon would be a good candidate, except that it
wouldn't have so far to fall if it came unstuck. <g>
