Default Really?

I'm 36 years old, young enough to remember when I was 19/20. I had a lowered civic with a bodykit, wheels, etc. I know I wasn't this stupid. Yes, that's the exhaust pipe aimed at the sun.

I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say he did that to pass the Laguna Seca db sound test. Either that or its a fruit holder for his shopping cart. Don't know, don't care.

Bet that thing sticking out gets hot too. Somebody walking by could get burned, literally.

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.

Any idea what the two hoses out front leading to the engine are for? Possibly to do the jumping up and down thing (I forget what that "feature" is called)?

It's anti-nausea gas lines that lead to the cabin through the dash, because if you're driving that thing you're gonna feel like puking.
