So glad I'm not the only one who thinks fiberglass tits stuck to the front of my house would be a great addition.

teens that have never encountered slate roofing before. brilliant.


Is it even slate? It almost looks like the wavy fiberglass stuff. That would be amazingly stupid if they tried to land on that.

ATM's have been around for about 35 years...you're not the first person to think you can just smash it and take all the money inside like a piñata for grown-ups.

Usually if one gets smashed, it's because they used a truck or front-end loader. Your little toyota with a fiberglass bumper isn't going to cut it.

p.s. those campers are made of crappy thin fiberglass/vinyl with a weak square tube aluminum or wooden frame, personally, I think the construction of this drive up patio roof thing looked WAY WAY under-bid and impossible to be adhering to any code!
Glad there wasn't anyone else in the closer drive-through lanes.

Dark from fact that it exposes that US building code enforcement can be as shoddy as that of what causes tragedies in other parts of the world.

Loving the mega-upvoting for ant.

Well, even discover is liable to make mistakes once in a while. At any rate, I myself was surprised to find out that super-adhesive glue and fiberglass were both used in authentic traditional "long" bows.


Well, in their defense, they do say "today's" long bows. Not ancient ones.

Sure, they had super-adhesives and fiberglass back in the Middle Ages. They were made by ye olde polymersmiths.

Why don't consumer vehicles have mounted guards above their passenger compartments?

by the time the guard on the passenger compartment comes into contact with the trailer side, the car is already halfway underneath the semi. unless of course you mean some kind of giant piece of metal sticking up from the hood, effectively blocking your view of anything ahead of you.
that, or some kind of framework on the bumper, which would kill aerodynamics, wasting yet more precious fossil fuel to friction and drag.

but i understand that it's extremely difficult to engineer a piece of metal or hardened plastic/fiberglass onto the side of a semi. </sarcasm>

...fiberglass?

WTF was that? A balsa wood cowled rotor helicopter? E_Nygma, you disappoint me.

They didn't injure buster this time, so Jamie and Adam dressed buster up like a gay biker and spanked his fiberglass ass afterwards.

Ship to shore, cattle-herding, having a good time. So when 2 of these crash in mid-air, fiberglass bits and errant rotors a'twirlin', will make the safety glass vs. paned glass issue in head on collisions of the 40's and 50's, look like fender bender afternoon?

It'll give gated communities something to look forward to.....
Jack a hovercraft, and robbing a Natl. Guard Armory and a bank in one day, doesn't seem so impossible now.

Shame about the car, but at least it was a fiberglass replica.. note the splintered- not crumpled- hood. Aluminum doesn't splinter.

wtf lol it works on the same concept as a snake board only thay removed the fiberglass bit conecting the 2 sides. thats pritty random and cool but i think you will have issues with them tilting from side to side so wont be as comfortable as a snake booard

The roof is fiberglass fabric coated with Teflon, and is held up by air pressure alone- roughly 3 to 4 psi. See this wikipedia article for more information. I work there, but wasn't on shift at the time. What a mess.
