    Proud to say I haven’t seen one yet but I also live in an environment where an uncoated stainless steel vehicle would literally not make it through a single winter.

    Had a friend take their car to a mechanic out west and the guy told me friend he hates to say it but he’s pretty sure somebody sold him a vehicle that had been in a flood based on the condition of the underside of it.

    My friend bought the car new and just drove it in northeast winters (and the salt associated with them) for 5 years.

        Yea this winter is going to be a shitshow for anybody unfortunately enough to be within crashing range.

        There’s already giant trucks in the ditch after any light snowstorm, and those people have been driving (and crashing) trucks their whole life.

        Don’t see people doing well in an enormous truck without direct feedback from steering.
