I havent been on in awhile but I am an ASE certified female mechanic that loves american muscle. So no we are not all stupid and not all ricers.
smile I currently have a 1996 Camaro Z28 that needs a new engine, a 1985 El Camino showcar that was built by my dad, a 2002 Firebird Trans Am WS6 that was a welcome home project for my husband, and a brand new 2011 Camaro SS/RS (LS3) which im pretty sure qualifies me as not a ricer or ferrari type.
Ha! you actually got an ASE
Those tests are stupid
What's your Cert?
And I just realized mayonaisewhatever said that hotwheels were made of plastic.... they're metal....
rolleyes rolleyes no I said they were plastic hotwheels with motors. Not that hot wheels are made of plastic. Not the same statement. I was saying they were worse because they were like hot wheels cars but plastice.
But Hot Wheels makes classic american cars mostly.... So the cars you like are more like american cars.... material-wise and everything
And Tanner Foust got a world record driving a Hot Wheels car
And Corvettes are made of plastic, and plastic parts are actually better, lighter, cheaper, don't rust, handle temperature changes better without damaging paint and they're far more dent resistant, I'm not seeing the issue with cars using plastics, there's absolutely no positives to having metal panels over plastic ones outside of malleability, which is a solution to a problem plastics don't have
So what's wrong with plastic?
You got the cheap part right. You can't fix a plastic body panels. You have to replace every one you ******** up. I can fix just about anything you can do to a Matel panel. Plus you hit a cat with a plastic bumper " cover" you to pay out the a** for a new one. Not with a matel one. The new corvette is s**t. If you're going more then 50 and and hit a pot hole you just lost or cracked half your car. If you dent it and it dont crack then you still have to get a new part, because it lives a soft spot in the plastic. If my matel car rusts I can cut and add new matel to fix it. A matel car can be totaled and can still be fixed, not with a plastic car. And that's not even half of way I dont like it.
Well that portion is completely wrong
You can fix plastic, it's called fiberglass body filler
Dents in metal create creases
hit a cat with a bumper cover, the bumper cover just absorbs impact ant reforms
New Vette is far an away better than any vette they've ever made in every possible way
doing 50 over a pothole wouldnt damage anything but maybe a rim, and that goes for any car, not to mention a stiff suspension is kinda common sense performance, the vette was never intended to car about your tender a**
if you dent plastic it just reforms, the end, it doesn't get soft
and if a plastic piece were to break, for like half the price and effort your putting out there to prep, cut, clean, weld, smooth, surface, prime, paint and clear. I can just bolt on the new damn panel and not look like an enormous douche trying to show off how badass he is at doing unnecessary amounts of work for unsatisfactory results
