It would be hilarious to see the reactions of the Techs if you brought that purple cartoon-mobile in for an inspection/emissions test.

I wonder if the yellow sections of pipe are some kind of space age cat. converter.

I'm surprised something like that's legal in California ... everything else seems to be illegal. But perhaps it's just politically correct to leave it alone, regardless of how stupid it looks or how dangerous it might be.

Maybe it was the wine but for some reason this cracked me up. I have no idea what it means, but funny.

Rux, lemme break this down to you since I've got this down to a science.
This reps the tailpipe

This spoiler reps...

The shopping cart...

Hence the fruit holder for the shopping cart.

The bosozoku sub-culture dates back to the early 50s bike scene in Japan. In an attempt to rebel against the establishment, bikes were treated to this horrendously flared, outrageously painted, and as loud as possible straight piped treatment possible; think cafe racer meets chopper. Bosozoku gangs started appearing, and it wasn't uncommon for the young bosozoku member to eventually graduate to full membership of the yakuza. Eventually it carried over into the car culture, and the rebellion continued. These days it's gotten completely out of hand.

It's not really my cup of tea. Anyway, now you know.
