With no widely credited original source, My New Car spread as a reusable meme clip on soundboards and short form video, where creators lift the audio to caption their own reveals. It survives because the joke does not depend on knowing the speaker, only on the contrast between pride and reality. The clip is now used for real purchases, ironic first cars, gaming vehicles and pets in toy cars, turning a simple boast into a shared punchline that works even with the sound alone.
