About

Things I've Hit With My Car is a trend on TikTok where someone will show their car, or simply show themselves, before showing various items, people, and animals, that they have supposedly struck with their car while driving. One of the important characteristics of the meme is to have the most important or biggest reveal last, and that the majority of those doing the trend are younger drivers.
