Domani, what you said made no sense.. 
I suggested two exposures so you could get the texture of the wall without having the light blow it out... i think it's really distracting especially since the car is pretty dark.

No, actually what YOU said didn't make sense.
He obviously knew what he was doing. He WANTED to blow out those lights, and over expose so that he could get contrast. In this case here, it's not about "going by the rules and getting a perfect exposture", but rather Domani wanted a shot where there would be contrast. Dulling the light would effectively cancel out all the "interesting" elements of this photograph.
And.....it IS called "stacking".
