Oxidation Just Follows David Tracy Wherever He Goes: COTD

David Tracy used to be famous for his near-superhuman ability to brave icy Detroit winters to bring some pile of rust back to life. Now he’s a clean, renewed David living in sunny southern California. It’s a place where rust doesn’t thrive, but don’t worry, things still find a way to fall apart around David.

Today, David wrote about how carbon fiber reinforced plastic panels can oxidize, peel, and disintegrate. So, technically, even David’s high-tech BMW i3 can give him a little taste of what Detroit was like. NC Miata NA:

From cars that fall apart due to oxidizing metal to cars that fall apart from oxidizing plastic: DT sure does have a type.

Earlier today, Jason wrote about the homebuilt wooden car found by contributor Emily. This thing is charming and whimsical, and so were the comments. Boulevard_Yachtsman:

This really begs the following question:

How much wood could a wood truck chuck if a wood truck could chuck wood?

John Gallup:

“sliced tree meet” is the only term I’ll ever use for plywood henceforth. But what are we going to call MDF—masticated tree meat?

Hoonicus:

Bologna

Hangover Grenade:

It’s clearly Sequoia based.

Canopysaurus:

Hey, look at that, a Plyber Truck.

Yesterday, Matt wrote about the Songsan Motors Full Good Rocket, a plug-in hybrid that resembled a ’50s Cadillac. I love the reference made by Chewcudda:

I’ll wait for the self-driving tribute to the 1958 Plymouth.

Have a great evening, everyone!
