Tina is an American treasure and you leave her alone. Unless you need an engine from her factory.

Isn't this older than AI generated video?

She didn't hit the public consciousness until very early last year. Whilst I don't share in this particular conspiracy theory, it's certainly valid from a timing standpoint.

What's it matter when the 'public consciousness' saw it? Either it's older or it's not, it doesn't matter when it got 'popular' whenever you think that is.

I wonder how many of those engines are not stolen.

Honestly I don’t think any are stolen, now knock off OEM parts. Probably.
But leave Tina alone. We want her this way forever lol. And if she turn 97 and we are still here to sing by god we will sing!1
u/Last-Hedgehog-6635 Jul 09 '26
Lol, they very well might not be stolen. I’ve been watching her videos for about a year on instagram, and their apparent inventory of new engines really makes me wonder. So many cars get stolen and shipped overseas whole or in pieces.

Well china does have basically all the tooling in the world to make anything. There are “drop in” engine replacements for hundreds of cars. Those engines can be, well……not as good as OEM let’s just say. I’m entirely certain though there are quality Chinese copy engine too lol.

Do you have batteries? I've ran out of batteries to throw in the ocean. It's literally my only hobby.
