Yea, so I'm an engineer geek and think this sort of stuff is cool.

I enjoy stuff like that but electrical. (EE is my major) Now we just have to make that steel only in america and we will be in good shape.

I saw a program on a liquid metal-like thing that they were going to begin using on shocks that becomes metal when it is magnetized and liquid when not, so the ride can completely be adjusted and maintained without much manual labor.

I think they are using that already in the latest Vette suspension systems. I could be wrong or it could be something not quite the same.

The Cadillac XLR uses Magnetic Shocks. They sense road conditions ahead of time and stiffen/loosen to provide as good of a ride as possible.

Well, I know we have one XLP owner on here. I wonder how they work.
