Twitter has announced that it will be closing down its Vine app, a platform that has supplied users with hilarious and entertaining six-second loop videos for the past three years.
Since Twitter bought Vine upon its launch back in 2013, Vine has been an integral part in the uprising of short viral videos. With its days numbered, we wanted to take a stroll through the annals of Vine and pick out some of our favourite automotive loops. Enjoy!
Get Out My Car Vine
A kid sits in their mum’s car and pretends to drive it. We don’t know why this is funny, but we guarantee that after you loop it a few times, it will be stuck in your head for hours.
Kitty Cat Car Jump Vine
Half insane stunt, half heroic rescue mission, this Vine sees entertainer Logan Paul jump over traffic and rescue a stranded cat. Cue Bonnie Tyler’s “I Need a Hero”.
Guy Inside Hot Wheels Car Vine
Ever wondered what your toys are thinking when you are playing with them? This guy gives us a first person view of what it would be like to be sat inside a Hot Wheels car while someone is pushing it along and making brum brum noises.
Lizard Who Woke Up in a New Bugatti Vine
Want to see a lizard headbanging to rapper Ace Hood? Of course you do. Well, look no further.
Getting into Strangers Cars Vine
Another Vine classic from Logan Paul, this loop shows us what happens when you casually step inside a stranger’s car.
Quincy the Dog Loves Road Trips
There’s nothing like a good road trip – and if there is anyone who knows it, it’s Quincy the dog. Sometimes, it’s good enough to make you howl.
Dog Driving Badly
Ever been stuck behind a bad driver? Well, they might have been a dog, especially if this Vine is anything to go off.
Why is Twitter getting rid of Vine and when is Vine closing down?
Twitter haven’t given an exact reason for why Vine is closing down, or an exact date of when it is going to happen. Twitter have issued a statement however explaining that the Vine app will be closing down in the next few months and that just the Vine app will be going, not the Vine website.
“Since 2013, millions of people have turned to Vine to laugh at loops and see creativity unfold. Today, we are sharing the news that in the coming months we’ll be discontinuing the mobile app.”
