Thousands of users created their own versions, sitting in Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas, weeping, "Dad bought me the base model. Now everyone at community college is going to think I'm poor."
And as we close our browsers and go back to our lives, we realize the cruelest joke of all: We are all crying in our own cars. Most of us just don't have an audience for it. Thousands of users created their own versions, sitting
Whether the video was staged (many suspect it was a failed audition for a reality TV show) or real, the damage—or rather, the discourse—is permanent. What does the prolonged discussion of this 27-second clip tell us about ourselves? Whether the video was staged (many suspect it

Finally, the viral video serves as a warning. In the social media arena, no one cares about your context. When you press record, you are no longer a person; you are a symbol. For this young girl, her tears over a Lamborghini will follow her for a decade. She will be the "Crying Car Girl" long after she trades the Revuelto for a sensible SUV.
