I'm afraid... what if that stuff makes it's way to the US? If I see a Civic on the road with a 10 foot tailpipe and and oil cooler on the bumper, I swear I'm going to laugh so hard I hit a tree.
EDIT: In the gallery that Todd linked, there are 2-3 cars with something hanging off the right side of the rear bumper. It looks like a teething ring or something... WTF is it?
