Deform it enough and it comes to a point where it tears instead of rebounding when the load is removed. That kind of deformation is permanent. A car doesn't have the mass to cause that much displacement.

Which makes truckers want to overload their trucks to keep their costs down. A ground pressure fee would be a lot better but it's a lot harder to figure then counting axles. Jay

I see mass suicides and riots in the future as every urkel fashion sense inspired computer nerd throws down their oxy pads and mutters, "enough is enough," then takes to the streets, scsi cards in hand, and it will be dark, dark day indeed my friend.
