Car World Records are Dumb

World records are impressive... or are they? Sometimes companies make up "world record" attempts to promote their cars, and we're here to decide if those attempts are worthy of being in the record book. This is the D-List!

James being given a helmet before the stunt attempt and casually giving it back to another staffer on his way to the Jetta is the funniest ish I’ve seen today 🤦🏾‍♂️😂💀

[ThatDudeinBlue]

Thanks for the shout out guys!

But yes. Most car records are dumb.

[rcravincase]

Gotta give subaru credit for the most running subarus in one location

“Anything for 8hrs is hard.”

If it’s hard for 8hrs, see a doctor

Literally as he said “I will never buy a Land Rover” I got an ad for the new Land Rover defender

[CaffienatedMothman]

For the drift record, I'm sure the "wet road" qualifier was important to keep the tires from shredding long enough to actually perform the attempt.

[GrindHardPlumbingCo]

How have we not made an official Barbie Jeep World record yet?

[Housesider]

Considering all the absurd elevation changes on the Ring, doing a 2 wheel lap is even more nuts.

[EdwardCulpepper]

1. I love how he carried the helmet outside and then hands it to someone.
2. I had a 96 Jetta as my first car. Indestructible 😂

[justgrayyy]

Crazy he did a Reverse jump in a Front wheel drive car… making it Rear Wheel Drive but also steers on the same axis. Must’ve been pretty sketch

[ChrisN]

"This is awful. This is not only going to hell. I will never buy a Land Rover."

I felt that.

[AMVH]

I'd love to see the tires before and after the eight hour drift.

[Sanguinala]

Love how these uploads line up with my lunches

I love these guys, always working together but also staying in their own lane. Letting Dother members who have a better grasp of the subject take the reigns and branching off to start their own projects but also helping out with their mates project. Even though they are working for the benefit of someone else’s property, it all pays off when they are able to make each other better and continue to put out high level content. So excited for the coming years of Donut!

When you mentioned land rover and jaguar for the same record, I was assuming it was most cars broken down in a single year

[theaterlightman]

Also subaru replicates this parade every day in Portland on i5 after work

[Spyw]

6:22 That moment when James does some bad math and confuses the engineer but is only 6 inches away from being right

[GabrielCSousa]

Jeremiah literally doesn't speak a word until 2:15
His beautiful presence is enough, what a guy

[PENX]

The Subaru parade is an odd one. I was part of the world record for most Subaru Impreza parade but that was not meant to be a world record, it was held on the anniversary of the great Colin McRea where a bunch of Impreza’s met up to show respect, just so happens it was the largest recorded number of them in one place
