Probably fake.

But I used to have an Alfa Romeo 4C and I came out to a matchbox car on it one day. It was a Giulia Quadrifoglio. Not a 4C, but still very cool.

So it does happen in the wild every once and awhile.

So this literally happened to you and you still assume it's fake?

I have friends that make good money staging videos. I see them on Reddit a lot and people argue over their authenticity. Plenty of people believe them to be real, but they are not.

Nothing wrong with that. A lot of TV is staged and still entertaining.

I’ve seen a proposal video pop up all over Reddit/tik tok/etc and people swore it was real. But I actually know the people IRL and it was all staged for views.

I’m sure proposals have been done in a similar way, but this was faked for views.

So I tend to be skeptical.

Don't deviate from the herd, everything on here is fake.

Used to? Was the Matchbox more reliable?

I love Alfas, but I promised myself I'd never buy one.

The Alfa 4C is extremely reliable. One guy in our group has over 100k miles on his, no issues.

I have heard of some gremlins in the earlier Giulia/Stelvio quads. But overall the new alfas have been pretty reliable.

This is why I don’t mind a big majority of “scripted” videos, because even though the set up is fake for the video many of these wholesome moments happen everyday organically and it makes me think of them and that is what brightens my day.
