LOL @ C7 on Mars... now that's funny

I assumed the pointy things were for hooking up some sort of testing equipment i.e. sound monitors. I don't see them being fuel tank drains as they're not close to the tanks. The tanks are right behind the seats and in front of the rear suspension. You wouldn't have a drain coming through the trunk and out the rear fascia.

those are the same exact things we saw on the C6 test cars and it was confirmed to be used to drain the fuel from the car.

I tried to tell everyone earlier that aliens were involved in this and that the tail lights had mind reading devices in them, but no one believed me. Now we have proof!

Link? If you look where the fuel tanks are it seems and odd place to put a tank drain.

The tanks go up in here...

What's odd about it? If you want to drain the tanks, the drains need to be at a point lower than the tanks, and in an easily accessible place so you can reach them.

If they're fuel tank related they probably use a suctioning device to empty the tanks from back there.. so not really "drain" tubes.

I don't think anyone is using the bicycle wheel measuring devices anymore. They have the GPS. They will never need a map again (or bicylcle wheel thingies, see Cars for the source scene)

Looks like autoevolution.com is the first to post up a couple of my latest pictures, including the one that shows the upper section of the passenger seat back. Enjoy.
