It looks like a good truck for the kind of person who doesn't really need a truck but wants one anyway.

Delorean owners know how impossible it is to keep flat brushed stainless looking good. Why is it trying to be so tacticool? Who needs bulletproof glass windows but doesn't want an easy to repair body?

I definitely fit your first sentence. I don't quite follow what you mean by easy to repair body. I feel like the body will be easy to repair due to the flat panels.

Get a disposable pie tin, put a dent in the bottom of it, and try to flatten the dent back out. You'll see what I mean :)

1. it is literally bulletproof and can withstand sledge hammer blows. I don't know what else you need to read.

2. I meant more along the lines of the panels will not be very difficult to replace rather than repair. Also how many dents on your current vehicle that you can fix yourself? Very few I imagine, and body work is generally very expensive especially when you add in the paint matching that never quite matches up to your actual paint. Not an issue with stainless steel!
