All I was saying is that there is more plastic on the car than he thought, nothing more than that.

well, when i could fit in one of those, i had a quarter mile time of 10 mins. so if you think you can beat that in your "Z" with its "engine" and "transmission" and "functioning steering wheel" then i think we may have to race.

Turn it around - ask her why she thinks it's unsafe. Then use that ammo to demolish whatever she drives.

lolwut?

Hood, doors and hatch are aluminum. Aluminum is stronger than steel by weight...

Front bumper and rear bumper are plastic. Same with 99% of cars out there these days...side skirts are plastic, but there's steel underneath...they're decorative!

The rest is steel.

I'd dump this chick in a heartbeat. A woman not wanting to get into a sports car isnt a woman to me.

I honestly don't see the problem here. If she doesn't want to get in, good for you!! She's just not going to be around to ****block you from getting much better poon tang. There's a brighter side to everything.
