Porsche "is going to pot"

Well, hemp. Maybe they have Elon Musk giving them advice?

I can see manufactures do more of this kind of thing to gauge public response.

Nobody likes a rusty Porsche - steel.

Nobody likes a dented Porsche - aluminum

It will be interesting to see if this product crackles like old fiberglass over time.

My 356 is steel, but galvinization didn't come around until the 70s. Plenty of rust.

Be more interesting to see just how well it will handle weather and extreme conditions like super cold...


And some of us think they went to pot when they added cup holders....

And the hemp bodied car has been done, well at least once...

url-2When we think of cars we think of gasoline, steel, pollution, etc. Well, maybe you don’t, but that’s what comes to mind for me. Even though we have some innovative and visually pleasing cars on the road today, it is difficult to ignore the sheer environmental impact that modern cars create. What if cars didn’t have to be the way they are today? If you are a researcher of any kind of alternative information, you already know this to be true -especially given that the technology already exists today to make cars smarter, safer and more eco-friendly (no fossil fuels necessary.) But did you know that Henry Ford spent more than a decade researching and building his Model-T car which was not only constructed from hemp but was also designed to run off hemp bio-fuel? Whatever happened to this idea?
