If it's the same one most of have seen, it was almost two months ago. A new one, I'm not aware of. Show us the link.

I'm sure it's the same video that's been going around for awhile now. That's a C7.

It’s old news, and a C7, not a C8.

Yes, but the “blue C8” the OP is talking about, that’s cut in half, with a guy sitting in it, is a blue C7.
