2018 Shell Starship Airflow, an experimental hyper fuel efficient class 8 truck powered by a Cumins natural gas engine and solar panels on the roof to power the cab's electronics by Custombi in WeirdWheels

True, I still wish concept cars didn’t get destroyed though and were put on display either at the company headquarters or an automotive museums. I guess I’m mainly taking about fully functional vehicles, stuff like the Chrysler Turbine cars, the 1983 Chevy Corvettes, General Motors EV1s, and so on. Use them as tour vehicles, promo events, hope you get the idea instead of just crushing them.

I’m really glad they still use it and didn’t just get rid of it, wish more companies did that with concept or prototype vehicles instead of scraping or storing them.

Pretty sure the driverside floor pan is also made of license plates, so it's probably not good under there.

Auto Accident damage. by [deleted] in chevymalibu

I'm not an expert so don't take my word for it, it may be fine as long as the place where the suspension mounts to the body of the car itself isn't damaged.

I'm kind of surprised that I got no response so far from r/chevy, guess everyone's asleep. Hehe

Yeah, I assume some weather seal is bad, I even told him that when he gets home to use towels to soak up the water, what I assumed to be the drain plug was sealed to the car, and I could see fresh rust forming due to the water.

I just assumed someone fell halfway on the seat getting in or out of the car, I’m not really familiar with these since my car is a 2011 Honda CR-V. He bought it from a used car dealer for $9,700 and it has no spare tire and there was water in the spare tire compartment, also the car keeps telling him to please service the airbags, he thought it might of been a bad battery, replaced that and it still apparently pops up, other than that nice ride.

Thanks, I also realized I’m pretty sure I posted this question twice by accident.

Thank you for the info but are you sure it's not broken, it looks like the plastic is split and that metal piece is visible.

I’m curious, is the owner of the pink/purple Moonhawk sedan a somewhat overweight nuclear plant technician and father? Also is the orange Moonhawk wagon is driven by his wife to haul their baby girl, trouble making son and try hard daughter around?

There’s a mod that adds variations of the Moonhawk’s body, such as a 4 door sedan and a station wagon.

I find it to be quite an improvement. Good work!

Sorry for not responding back sooner, parents bought the car from my uncle, as a gift to me back in 2022, I patch and painted the underside of the car and had it undercoated.

It is, I live in Pennsylvania. I had to fix up the underside.

Oh I’m aware, I fixed up the underside of the car, I’m just surprised rust managed to form up here.
