reminds me of a scene in some TV show long ago where (Howard Hughes perhaps??) the character threw a hammer I tothe side of his steam car, where it gushed steam, and announced that he was no longer in the steam car business. I would not want to be inside a vehicle whose body panels were filled with something like lithium!! a sealed box underneath is acceptable if it passes crash tests, door panels, no way.
