5 JDM Cars RUINED By Clout...!

bro being a senior in high school in the 2010s must have been awesome for car affordability

Basicly the F&F movies made JDM cars expensive as hell. If these movies weren't made, i think these cars wouldn't be that expensive

I'm surprised the AE86 didnt get mentioned. Just want to say tofu tax is a hell of a drug.

If your doing a US version, the 1969-1970 Dodge Charger is ABSOLUTELY worth mentioning, they destroyed so many in Dukes of Hazard, they had to search for owners with a helicopter

Another honorable mention should have been the AE 86 - it barely has 120 horsepower yet they sell for way more what they are worth.

Tbh, almost all JDM cars were ruined

The automotive equivelant of "I should of bought a house instead of being a 10-year-old in Year 4 back in 2008"

Thanks for uploading

Honestly kills me to know that a clean NSX was only 30k max not too long ago. Been obsessing over one lately cause they just seem like awesome cars to drive around in, but seeing prices now for them being 80k+ is so disheartening. Now its another car in the “pipe dream” section

What truly does hurt me about the S bodies is how kids nowadays take them cut the body and fenders just to make a “drift missile” that ends up wrecked and in a junkyard or it ends up on marketplace for 10K with plastic fenders etc like smh.

I'm so glad I like the FC more, because while they're not cheap, they only go for like 1/5 of FD prices, usually around 10k under and mostly stock. I hope I don't end up regretting saying this...

bro your channel is gold and a fresh contrarian voice to cartube

I feel like I can't admit to loving the RX-7 and Skyline GTRs because of their reputation. They are genuinely beautiful pieces of engineering that I'll never be able to own now.

I always wanted a R32 skyline since I played Gran Turismo 1 when I was a little kid in the late 90's. So I bought a bone stock R32 GTS-T for 7500 USD in the UK in 2019 and it lived up to my expectations. Spent so much money restoring/repairing it that people around me think i'm stupid, but that car means a lot to me. 😅

I absolutely agree that the clout has damaged the reputation and ability to obtain these cars. It does make me sad because as much as I would want a Skyline or Silvia I just want a car I can be proud of taking care of and working on to be in my vision. On top of that what's also unfortunate is that depending on the car the parts can be so expensive so while some may have spent so much to get the car initially they'll have to spend a good chunk more for parts. Good video though and happy you touched up on this topic.🤟

You've nailed it. Anyone with a decently developed mind would know that JDM cars, especially the one's from the older eras are slow by today's standards and buying them would be more out of passion and just appreciation of the thing for it's legacy, not because of how it's hyped to be some monstrous supercar slayer from the get go.

Another JDM car that I think has been ruined by clout culture is 350Z (/G35). You see these cars on street takeovers, and honestly it kinda gave the G35/350Z a bad rep, in my opinion G35/350Z is pretty good cars, but their reputation has been ruined by street takeovers, it also effect other cars too like Dodge Challenger and Charger because you see these cars on street takeovers too

Glad you at least brought up the Miata 😅

I'm genuinely disgusted by clout boi culture, those mf's just ruined every and any chance of regular people being able to afford a cool car, over-hype them, and always expect too much out of them. The Supras and R34s will never be the same again.

I LOVE this dudes content he literally does not miss everytime he pops up in my recommendation I watch the full video + 3 I find on his channel
