I have to say that I’ve been somewhat dismissive of young Sydney Sweeney before (here and here, scroll down to see).
But then came the American Eagle jeans/genes commercial:
…which had this effect on the Left:
(because rayyyycisssm or something)
…and which had an even-more interesting effect on American Eagle’s stock price:
American Eagle’s stock soared 20 percent this week, sending its market value close to $400 million after a viral backlash from the Left over its “good jeans” ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. The iconic American retailer got a significant sales boost after President Donald Trump publicly praised Sweeney, following revelations that she’s a registered Republican.
Wait…she’s a Republican? Hubba hubba.
Then, just to add to the good stuff, it turns out that young Sydney restores classic cars:
Sydney Sweeney is far from your typical Hollywood star. With global fame and expensive roles under her belt, she’s invested much of that into restoring classic Fords. Like her cherry‑red 1969 Bronco and a Brittany Blue ’65 Mustang dubbed Britney. Unlike most celebrity car stories, hers begins with a floor jack, welding torch, and grease‑caked knuckles. Growing up in a mechanic family in Spokane taught her to dismantle an axle before memorizing lines. She documents these builds on TikTok as Syd’s Garage, blending Hollywood glam with wrench turns.
Sweeny’s not stopping at two Fords. She also owns a 1956 Ford F100, gifted by her grandfather, with original patina and plans for a mild restoration, as well as a Sky‑Blue Fiat 500 Jolly, acquired for $68,500.
What’s most compelling is how she marries Hollywood charm with shop-floor humility. She could easily pay others to source chrome parts, but instead she makes tools vintage co-stars: torque wrenches, sanders, and degreasers. With 1.8 million TikTok followers, she’s not playing dress-up but instead teaching thousands to pick up a socket and learn.
Sweeney’s garage is louder than any red carpet, and her fame is fueled by fuel injectors and vintage shine. She’s not preserving history. She’s reviving it with her own two hands, proving that classic muscle cars, and women, can roar in harmony.
Anyone getting interested by now? Republican, hot, works on classic cars… what could possibly make her more attractive?
Well, there’s this.
Yup, the young lady is a shooter, and a good one (judging by her times and accuracy).
As one commenter put it, that moves her up from a 10 to a 10,000.
Not being much of a jeans aficionado, I don’t know if American Eagle jeans are any good; but if they are, be my guest — because the better the company does, the more it’ll make liberal heads explode.
Do it for Sydney.
