I only give a poo poo about gas prices when I have a car payment. Without that added cost it doesn't bother me as much. Now insurance prices, that boils by soup.

I bought a parts car two years ago that had the front floorpans replaced with marine plywood. Made the drive home very interesting.

I did that wooden bumper thing once. Not to my own car, one of my coworkers was in an accident and it ripped the bumper cover clean off. She drover he car like that for 3 weeks so one night I dashed home, grabbed a 2x4 and some zip ties and wrote BUMPER with a backwards R on it. I think she drove it for two more days before noticing.

DJ Commie posted:Unibodies can't really be cut up like that, they won't deform correctly in the second accident, and grinding welds removes a lot of the strength. It'd fold like a can, probably tear apart rather than just deforming. I'm sure they welded some extra support along the frame rails. I mean, it's not like they cut corners on these projects right?

Ran out to run some errands and saw this sitting on a small dealer lot It's a 2005 Saleen Focus. Now besides the writing on the window it's amusing to me because this is the fourth dealer to have this car in maybe three years. I don't know if it has some terrible problem or if it's a bitch to insure but it keeps popping up for sale. Edit: and they want $11K for it.
