I'm not sure what planet you live on, but here on earth, our vehicles are still made from the same steel they were made with decades ago.

No one expects someone to be able to fix an aluminum panel.

CFRP? I'd love to know what percentage of cars on the road have it. 0.01%?

And what?! Since when can't you bend carbon fiber back into shape!!!


God damn you're insulting. You don't understand what I'm saying. Body shops don't even want to fix a door ding.
