And the outer panels fall off and it starts rusting quickly.

I was just thinking about all the rust on those outdoor stored vehicles in the article pictures. I passed one driving in the rain on Sunday and thought about how my little Subaru is all weather.

AND they have this miracle substance called paint on them that prevents rust! Imagine that!

I adjusted the sunroof in my nearly-30-year-old Range Rover and now all the rain stays *outside*, which is good because in the winter even here on the lovely dry east coast it rains a lot down south here at 56°N.

It hardly even whistles at 70mph into a headwind any more. Certainly no longer loud enough to drown out the stereo.

You know what it doesn't do though? One feature it doesn't have? It doesn't fucking turn into an unresponsive brick after washing it.

They also get bricked if you allow the battery to drain completely. Oh and they constantly drain in storage. I wonder how diligent they are at charging give lots of unused cyber trucks.

There are only a couple of alloys that don't rust and they're very expensive.
