    Shame on Toyota. I don't get why OEM's are doing this. It's just stupid and horrible.

    https://www.autoblog.com/2018/03/28/2019-toyota-corolla-hatchback-fun-facts/#slide-endcap

    It has fake exhaust tips
    This aspect of the Corolla left us a bit perplexed. At the back in the rear bumper around the fake diffuser area, there are a pair of chrome accents that look very much like extremely slim exhaust tips. They show up on both the sportier looking XSE, and the plain SE. Upon close inspection, though, they're completely closed off. Looking underneath you find simple downward-angled exhaust tips. We're really not sure why Toyota didn't simply cut some holes in the bumper and extend the tips outward, especially when the same design is used on both Corolla hatchback trim levels.

    LOL!

    Are you talking about putting fake exhaust tips on vehicles or making threads about putting fake exhaust tips on vehicles?

    That thing looks kind of VW ish, very GTI styled. Huh. A 2.0 turbo from factory would be sweet, never going to happen though, Toyota has such an aversion against turbos it seems.

    It's a Corolla. I don't think anyone cares.

    Toyota is far from the first to do this: https://www.carscoops.com/2017/03/the-new-2018-audi-sq5-has-ghastly-fake/
    I think most workplaces don't make you clock out for going to poo? :notsure:

    Or do you mean you get paid specifically to poo? :devil: Like the more you poo, the more you get paid?

    Poop donors get paid pretty well. Of course, you have to have the right stuff.
