Do You Have The Stomach For Magnesium Trucks?

In July, the good old boy contingent was horrified to hear that Ford would contemplate building Ford tough trucks from a material considered good enough for beer cans: Aluminum. Now, they will be absolutely terrified by the news that GM wants to build trucks from a material known to treat heartburn: Magnesium.

Jkross22 Just give this money to the pentagon. They're great at lighting someone else's money ablaze and then failing audits. 6 years running they can't tell you how money was spent. I think they're going for a baker's dozen, at which point the pretense will be dropped and they won't even be audited.
Ollicat none of it.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X No tech should be mandated. IMHO, automatic braking would be more hazardous than defensive driving would ever be.
