Second, we have a guy come along and says this "aircraft mechanics used beer cans to repair battle-damaged aircraft" are you freaking kidding me with this? No need to go any further with this troll.

Don, for a post that's supposed to be in fun I feel you are being a little offensive here.

I wasn't in the war but I think with a bit of research you would find this is probably true info this fellow posted.

When you had "no" proper material to do a job, you made do with what you could find.
Aluminum cans used to be 2 to 3 times thicker than they are now and would make a fine patch on an aluminum plane (or boat for that matter)

Better than flying around with a 2 inch hole in the side.

We've had a few pickups with wood beds. Maybe they were ahead of their time?

My 2005 Ford Five Hundred has an aluminium hood and my 2006 Mustang has an aluminum hood and trunk lid. Nothing new.

I love those two videos! Classic!

Here you go, if you guys want REAL STATE OF THE ART ENGINEERING

More high tech Engineering

Enjoy :B

The Tacoma is Toyotas plastic bed truck.

I think the Tacoma or the Ranger had a composite bed at one point. I don't know what ever happened with that...

Definitely wasn't the Ranger... I thought it was the Ridgeline, but could certainly be mistaken on that one...

It was the Sport Trac. My BIL has one and it is a composite bed.

Your right... I forgot about the Sport Track too.

Saw a story about this car on CNBC last week. Interesting. You'll know they have arrived when you can walk into a FedEx Office, plunk down your cash and they print you a car! :B
