Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

All those in favour say Aye.

An absolutely brilliant concept that, like a lot of other brilliant concepts, has no chance in the real world. I can imagine the vandals getting their box-cutters ready for this one.  :rofl: :rofl:

Make it out of Kevlar.

If we all thought like this there would be no innovation.

I'm pretty sure Kevlar isnt that hard to slice with a sharp blade.

Speaking of vandals.. I caught a half drunk guy about to take a leak on my car's rear tire today..  >:( >:(
Given how angry I looked he freaked out and ran off with free willy.  :eye:

Yeah but why worry, if someone wants to damage your car then they will, regardless of what it's made from.  And I bet if "super" fabric went into production it would be cheap to replace.  Why argue over something that is probably never gonna happen, not in the next 20 years anyway.  ::)

P.S. Kevlar is quite hard to slice, and the blade blunts extremely quickly.  :P
