So I got this spam in my inbox that was clearly intended for tuner kids....
Check out 1000's of Vehicle Showcases Then Add Yours and Show it Off!
Every day more and more people are showcasing their vehicles and the brands behind them on WideOpenGarage.com. Members can leave comments and start up conversations about any vehicle; with thousands of showcases, there's always something to talk about on WideOpenGarage.com! Plus, a revolutionary brand tagging system lets members identify all their component brands and show everyone what their vehicle's made of!

I was thinking about signing up, then complaining to the admins that they didn't have any water heaters, clothes driers, stoves, washing machines or refrigerators to choose from.....

Haha, I like their phrasing - "...what their vehicle's made of". In your case, literally. You could tag Westinghouse, GE etc.

FWIW, stoves and clothes washers/driers have some nice metal. Most of the refrigerators or freezers I have taken apart are too thin to be useful as body panels....the exception are the Sears Goldstar units circa 1960's....those were solidly built.

My upper cowl and my entire firewall are made from a Sears Goldstar freezer.
