As for magnesium as mentioned above. It's cool until your car is on fire. I personally don't like burning metal that explodes when I try to extinguish it. Could just be me though.

The higher cost of repair will mean it will take even less damage to total a car out.. Which means more and higher payouts by insurance companies.
