    The Chrysler merger happened in the late 1990s, but MB continued making some of their own designs. The last one was probably the SL roadster, then all of their designs got rounded off...

    It's all about time management. A simple 15 minute poop everyday works out to getting an extra five days of paid vacation each year.

    Believe it or not, there is an app that you put in your wage / salary with a start stop button and it calculates how much you have made while taking the browns to the superbowl / dropping the kids off at the pool / dropping timber.

    It's a sporty thing. Look at your hood, Toyota and many other companies make hood scoops that are not functional, (mine included) but add to the look of the vehicle. Same difference. I don't care for them either, but like everyone else said if it isnt your vehicle who cares. To each their own. I think we've all seen more ridiculous things on vehicles.

    Unlike the toyotas they are real exhaust tips so they don't count.

    Guilty as charged.

    But don't lie, it looks like sex feels.

    Don't get me started on this. How about in the 80s Chevy came out with a "Choo-Choo Custom" El Camino with chrome sidepipes...and the real single exhaust as usual out the back.
    Or how about on that old A-Team show, their custom van had the exact thing-fake sidepipes with a single real exhaust out the back. Who gives a shit? Guys like me who are OC about this stuff.
    BMW cars that have two pipes out the back are/were what I thought to be single with a fake second tailpipe cause you could clearly see one was blackened and the other was clean. Turns out they actually have one valved and it stays closed inside the one pipe till you get on it and it then become true dual outlets. If that one valved outlet is clean, it means the driver never ever gets on it. Weird.

    Oh and my '16 RX350 has the real dual outlets through diffusers but it's single exhaust all the way up. I don't like it but at least they're not fake diffusers like the '18s.

    I heard that the nonfunctioning hood scoops don't work correctly unless paired with non-functioning exhaust tips. I mean, all that nothing coming in needs nowhere to get out!

    2 exhaust pipes, with 2 feeder pipes to a noisemaker that then tie back into to exhaust pipes, before splitting into 4 tips. So basically, 50% of those tips are BS.
