My guess is pure marketing - which by the number of responses to this thread, is working quite well. Although, when I saw it drive up yesterday, it made me want to puke, so I'm not sure that "all publicity is good publicity," like the old saying goes...

Well, if this arrangement follows the normal "sponsorship" deals that are common, Super Autobacs has a couple of cars like this that they basically just give stuff (that they already stock, of course) to the owner and require that he ride around with the gigantic "Super AutoBacs" decal. Case in point: this car had Federal brand tires on - about the only tires you can find at Super AutoBacs are Federal and Toyo. It is a cool place to shop, though, just because of the sheer availability of auto parts - hard to find LED's, motor oil, wheels, coilovers, etc...

Why Did They Run A Single Pipe Out The Back When The Darn Bumper Is Cut For Two?? Does Anyone See The Missed Steps In Logic?

Because if I remember right, Single Exhausts deliver more low end torque than Dual Exhausts. (which is probably why you see so many single exhausts on supras and whatnots). Dual exhausts are more for aesthetics.

Ah... 10-4 delta niner foxtrot. Taxi to runway 4-2-0 and hold for clearance.

Delta niner foxtrot, you are clear for takeoff.

Depends *totally* on your setup. Be careful to make broad statements

I'm curious to how the rear wing is hooked up. Is it into the subframe of the car?

Broad statement? That car may have one very large turbo in it and require all that extra back pressure! Haha.. wait... thats a Lexus? I thought it was the new Maxima SE-R? with VTACH! :P
