eclipses
on the older ones what thec heack is that stupid bulge on the hood for? does it sevre a purpose or is it just tryin to look cool. reason i brought this up is one was behind me this morning and man it was ugly. i was drivin fast and it was just ridin my butt the whole time. then when i got to school it pulled in and dropped off its cargo then "peeled out" which translates to a frickin loud POS four banger sound with no tire spin at all.

could be i guess but i know a guy who used to have one with the bulge and i know for a fact it didnt have one. maybe that is the case but they just made them all like that irregardless. or wait did that guy have a bulge or not....dang it i cant remember!!!! but im seriously doubtin the one that i saw had one. cause he was like redlinin it and you definetely couldnt hear the turbo.
