“And some carbon credits to offset the use of petroleum in making the foam shell.”
STRIKE THAT.
It appears they plan (later) to make the foam from SOYBEANS.
So, it’s actually a car made from SOYBEANS.
Not my F-350’s.
And I like 4 tons of metal around me.
My wife does too, since for some strange reason she likes me to get home.
YMMV, of course.
Ah, Progressive.
That name will always result in incompetent engineering - whether it’s associated with insurance or politics.
There’s a reason these types of folks are NOT engineers.
My motto is accident avoidance over accident survival. If I cared about safety I wouldn’t ride a motorcycle.
Well damn! Lookee there on post #20!
There's still a metal bumper (on hydraulic shock absorber-like mounts) mounted beneath the plastic bumper cover and foam filler (which serves to keep the flexible bumper cover from sagging).
A foam car, shaped like a coffin, with wheels on it, yeah that’s the ticket.
I wonder what it would look like after it hit a deer (a very common experience here in SW PA)?
Howdy RobRoy,
About threee years ago I’m riding east on S.R. 714 and along the side of the road are about a dozen vultures.
I slow down and they scatter. One jumps and bounces off my head leaving a nice gash.
I go home and call my doc of 25 years and he says well I’ve never heard of this, of course only you, I’ll get back to ya.
He talks to his peers laughing their butts off about this dumbass and they say ,”well let us know if it looks any worse”.
Agree. 50 years ago who would have thought that the strongest, lightest material we have in car manufacturing would be basically burnt pitch and glue?

If this thing came in brown it could be named the Turd. It would be a symbol of the Obama adminstration.
ICK! I’m convinced!
What happens if you pitch a match on it?
Not even those C cups makes that one look good.
How do you keep the punks from throwing it up in a tree after you walk away?
Will your comprehensive insurance cover rodents and coons eating it during the night?
If you run a red light and bounce off the other vehicle, causing that drive to have a seizure and die from laughing; what are you charged with?
would this be a “Toy oh-oh ta-ta”?
Can only drive it on days that aren’t too windy.
Imagine being in that thing during a heavy rain storm.
And, what keeps this thing glued to the road, at 70 mph?
