Cool

This "glass" vs "metal" thing for dent/crack repair has been around for awhile. As my car is glass I can tell you I worry A LOT about even gently "touching" the gaurd rails at the track while racing. I'm thinking a vey mild touch could result in a very major "crack" and a nightmare repair.

I would still worry with a metal car of course, but maybe not as much.

Pats "jack handle vs the trouble light" is an excellent example of the difference between the two bodies. The resulting damage depends largely on how the "hit" occured. I would prefer to take my chances with a metal body. Especially when it comes to "every day" use and the litte things "hits" we take in life.
