I don't think I've ever seen a car with four exhausts!

Look closely. As Bob would say...LOL

The pipe is not attached but there are 4 outlets.

The pre prods didnt.

Boo. That seems rather silly, no? Such a beautiful car with fake outlets?

I don't get it.

High end rice.

They aren't fake. I can get you a picture if you want.

4 pipes come out of the back of the muffler.

Here you can clearly see the pipes

Ah... so Crazy Uncle Railton was yanking my chain. Too soon in the morning for me to catch on.

Common trend these days of having outlets not physically attached to the mufflers.

seat time will make you forget about the pipes. My TTRS are the same....whatever.

I suppose this provides an element of protection to the exhaust system in low impact, bump-type collisions. Bumper / tips get pushed in a bit.

I think it may be more about melting plastic

Updated the nav maps today. That was easy, too bad I can't do it myself on the LX.

So before I bought this car I was looking at a white 2008 that was at the local dealer. It had 27k on it.

Turns out a 24-year old kid bought it, then promptly totalled it

He should never be allowed to own a car again for ruining something so special.

Death penalty.

Or forced to drive a Mirage for the rest of his days.

Can't even upgrade to a new one. Has to keep the old one going (like the cars in Cuba).;

So I didn't want to drill holes in my nice bumper. Car didn't have a front plate.

So I looked for those one that go where the tow hook goes. But I'm cheap and they are $100+

My friend measured the tow hook, fabricated an aluminum plate and installed it today for me. Cost $0
