Wooden Super Car - LotusTalk

Nice short read, just thought it looked good

(must weigh a lot, however)

Apologizes if this is a re-post (I DID do a search though.)

EDIT: Ack, just found the other forum with the same topic (was sure I saw it previously), but this is the updated version of it.

This is a bad idea for so many reasons. The most important being, if the thing crashes, having chards of wood driven through the body of the driver... They may as well make a car out of used razor blades, or glass.

Well, fiberglass is glass. Laminated wood is strong and light. That's why so much of the Morgan is still made of wood. My concern would be beavers...
