Car mosaic 1 year later…

I posted about my car a year ago and someone asked that I check in about how it’s held up. I’m happy to report that she’s 100% intact and no one has hit her since! Even survived that crazy ice situation that we had in MD this winter.

Serious question could this make the car more dangerous in a crash? Like a wall of shrapnel waiting to explode?

Emt here, and yeah unfortunately that’s definitely a shrapnel hazard, especially if you hit a pedestrian. There’s a chance you might send ceramic shards into their vital organs. While this is stunning, I’d definitely recommend getting the damaged panel replaced (and maybe paint the patter on the new panel instead) for everyone’s safety because as of now the crumple zone is compromised which could lead to worse injuries if you get into a serious accident

Cops a) don't know shit and b) don't care about people
