your fuel tank would crush like a tin can (because that's what it is).
the fuel cell would not leak or rupture.
but why is it up there?Originally posted by Matt93SE

Because they often take up the entire trunk floor and require a filler tube in a different place than stock.
(i.e. there's no trunk room)

I cant believe that the maxima uses gas shocks and the skyline uses a metal bar to prop the hood up.. what in hell is up with that?
hmmm...that means...i gotta order a skyline GTR hood prop..must be titanium...or something
I've never seen Craig Leiberman before... take a look at this pic:
Is Craig the guy wearing the plum colored shirt with black pants and black shoes? He's smack dab in the middle of the two cars.

I'm pretty sure that is Craig. I met him at the NOPI Nationals last year and talked to him for a little while. It looks like him, but I haven't seen him in a long time, so who knows.

I agree, it kinda looks like him. If you go here:
http://www.jbl.com/car/fast_furious.asp
and click on Video 2 or 3, there's an interview with him talking about the $75,000 Maxima. Damn, that car is so sweet!!

I would also like to point out that, In that picture Keving is looking at the skyline as well, He is the short guy with the receading hairline his hands in his pockets. Originally posted by bill99gxe

So that what Kev looks like, that explains everything.
That Skyline has nice and rice stuff. I was thinking, "damn, that carbon fiber intake scoop is nice!". And at the same time," damn, WTF is that stupid *turbo oil cap* doing there?!" I also note that the tires look way to thin for the width of the rims.

The Skyline has some beautiful HRE wheels.
It also has some nice mods.
And TOO MANY rice mods.
