They are junkers, they buy old cars and sell the to junk yards by weight for scrap metal. They do a bunch of videos abusing them before they go to the crusher.

I don't, either. Who determined that they were "clunkers"? Looks to me like the needless abuse, by morons, of two vehicles still in running condition.

No idea, probably only the hottest selling parts.

They’re in that awkward spot in time where they aren’t yet collectors items. They’re currently running and driving but maybe don’t pass smog which makes them beyond economical repair for the ownership level (4th owner) at this point

And now they spectacularly destroy an old SC300. I don't know if its the inner child in me, but I get amused by this type of reckless stupidity.
