Gloss Plastic Could Eliminate Auto Painting

customs writes "There is a new plastic out from GE that covers plastic surfaces with a really good sheen. It's more resistant to scratches and random chemicals compared to conventional paint. It's actually a .5 mm polymer called Sollx; the Segway was the first semi-mass-produced product to use it, it has slender two tone fenders. Kinda cool. Auto painting is the industries largest manufacturing expense, and this could be what they're looking for...as soon as the price comes down."

Oh don't worry about that; you're a nerd and therefore a bit fat overweight pig. When you're sitting in a lightweight car sans galvanized metal, the total weight is equal to that of a normal sized person sitting in a car with galvanized metal.

So in that respect, fat people are safe to purchase these cars. And your worries about the car being too light are a bit far-fetched. Sure, other "lite" cars such as Jeeps and those old Samurai pieces of shit were likely to roll but that had more to do with the fact that they were poorly designed and too tall than the weight of the vehicle. As long as you buy a normal compact car that has a low center of gravity, the difference between galvanized metal and plastic will only result in, as Martha Stewart says while I'm pumping her in the asshole, 'good things'.

Now, go do the right thing!
