The 350Z exhaust was likely designed this way knowing that it would be swapped out for aftermarket pieces. IMO it fit the overall design aesthetic of that time period (see Miata NC as well) in which large exposed exhaust plumbing with dual tips was seen as “sporty”. 

Jeebus, we wanted to see the color not that eyesore they used it on.

I think of Duncan Imports in VA as one of the major shop doing this and believe most of theirs come through either Baltimore or Virginia Beach ports. Is their a rival business already there? 

+0.25 hour service charge to squeeze a clip, lower the glove box and pop it in. 

I always laugh when they try and add extras such as filters and wipers.

Previous”owner(s)” knew it hot bc Ferrari would’ve reported it given they knew it was stolen back in 03. Ferrari definitely wants to protect it's customers, particularly when it's their limited run super/hyper car stuff. 

It was a required course to graduate for me. I’m shocked it’s not required everywhere*.

Are you trying to one up Rick James gif?

Two words: Track Day.

What new cars don’t come with a jack?

It’s a constitutional monarchy, not an absolute monarchy. It may seem a bit pedantic, but that's what it is. 

Apparently she is also being charged for felony identity theft charge while in Las Vegas for accessing someone’s bank account without their permission (with an accomplice being charged as well). Shit is getting really interesting in her life right now and I'd bet something is going to follow her around from these for…

This. We ask our readers to pose questions and then ask them to figure them out (in a terrible format to boot). Lazy f’in “journalism”.

4 people + dog crate, not either or. Love the idea, but I have to believe it's a medium+ sized crate and that rear would not likely hold one without losing a rear seat and thus what the person wants. 

Knockoffs of the Camaro and Chevelle area have killed the uniqueness of the very special, limited production models. Posers and pretenders bury the coolness of the OGs.

Hot take: When #metoo meets #notsurprised in general society 

I’m one who believes that we are getting better and weeding out these bad apples (they’ll always exist because people are naturally trying to take advantage of others). I have faith in this administration trying to call those out for this wrong behavior and holding them accountable better than any previous…

Both Chrysler and Mitsubishi designers had a thing for this...see also: 3000GT hood blisters for the ECS on VR-4s and Laser/Dodge Daytona bulges, as well as the Neon afterwards. I’ve started to wonder how much truth there is to the DSM Eclipse (et al.) hood bulge. Edit; Given the history previously, was it an older…
