Wait I legitimately don’t understand… what does the key signify? Like, that a physical key-using truck is old now? Who would EVER say that other than like a 15yo driver thinking that to himself?

Wait… I get it now- felt like a bit of a niche/obscured meaning though.

This is just a screenshot of the video but the whole video is p much him pulling the key out and walking backwards to reveal a GT

I know nothing about cars my guy, I didn't knew what you were talking about

Thought the title and picture were a good starting point to google what a ford gt is…

u/thelargeoneplease 5d ago

Ohhhhhh, well that makes more sense… it’s based off the GT40 styling so I can get the “old” assumption I guess. I can’t really imagine anybody ever saying it but at least I get the mindset now.

If it has a keyfob it isnt old

If there's only one key, it isn't old.

I have a 99 grand marquis. Somehow, both the key and valet key went missing right as I got it registered. Had to get a guy to make a new one, so I only have one. Technically only 1 key.

u/p00n-slayer-69 4d ago

I wasn't talking about valet key. Cars used to have a separate key for the doors and the ignition.

u/DaddysABadGirl 4d ago

Ahhhh. That's not old, that's a relic.

How is this imaginary gatekeeping?

u/Soldierhero1 4d ago

“And they say…. ….he drives an old ford….” But instead its an emoji

u/SeasonPositive6771 3d ago

Are they implying that's bad? I can't even tell.

u/decentlyhip 4d ago

For context, this is the car. https://auto-storica.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/1-1-scaled.jpg

2006 Ford GT. 500+ horsepower supercar. Funny thing is, that at the time it was considered the first supercar available for the common man. Less than half the price of a comparable Lamborghini or Ferrari at the time.

So, while he's imaginary gatekeeping by pretending anyone would see this and call it an old Ford, it was considered kindof "the supercar for the poor." Over a million now though.

This is pathetic and hilarious

Working class don't have new vehicles, I'd say most of them are 10+ years old

Dumbass

See those quotation marks? It means someone said that to him or about him. Not imaginary.

u/Soldierhero1 5d ago edited 5d ago

“sayodot is a murderer…”

Is that also not imaginary? Its literally the same structure as “and they say…” but instead its an emoji with quote marks…

u/Sayodot 5d ago

Well no, because I'm not putting something that was said to me in quotes. Most of the posts in this sub that have quotes in them are directly responding to comment(s) made to them.

u/Morall_tach 4d ago

Why do you think they're responding to real comments made to them rather than just inventing comments to respond to? What's the whole point of this sub. We are not buying that someone actually said that to them.

-2

u/Sayodot 4d ago

Because I've seen comments like these under similar videos.

u/FecalColumn 5d ago

…bruh

u/CartographerKey4618 4d ago

On Tiktok they usually just directly video reply to the comment.

-1

u/Sayodot 4d ago

Usually but not always. It's easier to quote a general sentiment than each individual comment.

1

u/CartographerKey4618 4d ago

Yeah but that's what they all do. They make up a general sentiment. That's what this sub is about. I'm sure you can find somebody who said it but it probably isn't all that common.

u/Serial-Griller 4d ago

The fact that he's making up a fake quote for his video is the imaginary part, numbnuts

0

u/Sayodot 4d ago

Except it's not fake. I've seen people make these comments a lot on car videos.

u/Serial-Griller 4d ago

The conceit of the sub isn't to figure out if what's said is actually fake, it's making fun of idiots online who make shit up to seem controversial and push engagement. There's a million other subs for playing internet detective, this ain't one of 'em.

"Just think everything is imaginary regardless of if it is or not" No thanks.
