I am not talking about the molecular make up of the alloy here. Basic common sense comparisons would suffice.

If someone leans into your car door with their knee, which one would dent the easiest. Glass or alloy?
When you are working on your car, your elbows will do enough damage to an alloy car if you are not careful, that it will be "more practical to replace the entire body rather than try to repair the dents."
In the hands of craftsman it may very well be easier to make aluminum repairs. I am not arguing that./ What I am arguing is which one dents easier.

Take a look at the rear deck of some of our cars. The aluminum ones will be easy to spot.
I still like the look of the alloy.

When folks walk up and start thumping on our cars with their bare knuckles to see if they are glass or alloy, why do most of us go into a coronary attack if we have an aluminum car? I didn't have that problem when I had a fiberglass car.

Most damage we sustain is not the kind that happens at the track.
I am talking about in our own garages, at car shows, leaning pushing dropping small items while we are working on them.

Is it everyone's understanding that aluminum is immune to above mishaps and if something happens they are easier to fix than glass?
I don't think so.
I have a spatula in my garage but don't own an English Wheel.
