This joke is old and not funny. You are at the point where everyone uncomfortable laughs to be polite.

because they’re relatively cheap and you get a ton of HP for your money. so 19-year-old TylerSkylerKyler or AidanBradenJadenKaden gets one with mom co-signing his loan, then pulls stunts like in the video. Then when those antics get Cars & Coffee canceled, they’ll mope away muttering “man, this is bullshit!”

It seems like it’s always a Mustang or a Corvette.......

While I agree with your post about any make of vehicle being a POS if not taken care of, I have known a substantial number of people who have bought NEW VWs or BMWs and had significant problems with them (taken care of under warranty, of course).

Unique? Certainly.

As clickbait as it gets.

Why did Clarkson’s hooning break the car? That’s the part I don’t understand. An M3 should be able to handle that.

I'd rather buy a BMW hooned by Clarkson than a Camaro driven by a Jalopnik employee
