OMG - I was so distracted by the S, the bad G and the paint swirls that I did not notice the 9. Good lord!

Yeah, totally! There is so much bad going on in that back end!

This wouldn't be acceptable on a '99 Honda Civic.

I was thinking "To each their own" at first but then noticed that they welded the pipe directly on to the turbo...wtf? Were they afraid of an exhaust leak if they used a flange? Lol

Maybe they were trying to save weight--to make up for 5 pounds of welding rod.

This is another case why one should always get a PPI. Just because a car is new and expensive doesn't mean Bubba didn't have his way with it.

First time I saw something like this was actually on a Ferrari. The owner used generous amounts of JB Weld to seal up various leaks. Mind boggling someone spent that kind of money on a car only to do something like that to it.

There's an old saying that seems to fit with this pattern: You can't fix stupid!

I feel for anyone who is the next owner, because the next owner will surely be someone that didn't get a PPI. Those that do get a PPI, will certainly pass (me thinks anyway).
