I have only one request for a car “for ladies”-- a place to put my fucking purse that’s not the passengers seat! How hard is that?

The Four Rules

That’s not a Damascus steel effect. That’s the Hamon, which is a product of the hardening technique used on Japanese weaponry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamon_(sw…

The full video is even worse!

Makes you wonder how many times scientific discoveries were made and inventions created, to be then completely forgotten before they had a chance to spread.

If not for the sheer life-threatening stupidity on display here, this is actually a pretty cool art thing, like the aftermath of a MythBusters experiment (think Bent Barrels and Bullet Fusion).
