The real issue is why are you watching Taylor Swift videos? How else would you have found this unless it was YOUR car?

Your "man card" is in jeopardy.............

To save you guys some time , it starts about 3:10 into the video, ooohh poor hood scoop. It had no Lic. plate. It looks like she was faking the strike with the golf club.
I drive by a house she owns at least once a week. So far she hasn't asked for a ride, now I'm not sure I would let her near my car. lol

Car belongs to our customer. You can probably guess the damages were all done with CGI, however the car did require a front repaint when she either "slipped" or hit the nose with her big ring or something. They did not employ any technical input on the scene, as you can tell when the hub cap flies off.

It's in our shop now and all the evidence of Taylor Swift is gone

I have 2 words for you "Teenage Daughter" .

She recognized that it was a Cobra but didn't realize it was the same make as mine until after I pointed it out.

I had to go back and look to see where the hub cap flies off. That is at 3:46.

I'm taking your word for that, since that's how I did it.

One of my kids was at one of her concerts and was up in the "nosebleed" section and her ushers picked them to come down in to the "pit" right in front of the stage. She then chatted with them from the stage. Very polite, nice, and friendly to them they said.

Various popular music stars get hired for kid's birthday parties, by their parents, who happen to be Silicon Valley titans, "insert famous tech billionaire here," and play their kid's backyard birthday parties.

I almost got invited once, does that count?.

Hate to be the "person" buying that car...

I wonder if the seller will disclose the damage?

Buyer beware...

It appears that you did not read the whole thread.

"Damage" that only exists in the video as computer generated special effects needs to be disclosed by the seller?

Good read of the event. Looks like there was some damage (sounds minor)... free paint job out of it.

We have the car in for the repairs. Article is good but not as clear on the actual damage and repairs. There were about 3 chips on the nose from some rings on her hands (which I was not witness too, but surprised it did that type of damage). Anyhow, the chips where in the stripe and the body color so about 1/3 of the car was repainted.

I told owner he should leave it, but he does use the car for other photo and video shoots so it has to be clean.
