BMW Z3 250 California Spyder Evocation, 2002 (2023). For sale by auction in the UK, an E36 first generation Z3 that has been re-built to resemble a 1960s Ferrari 250 GT California Spider. The car is one of three based on the recreations seen in the 1986 film 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' and constructed using hand-rolled aluminium sheet metal. Crafted in 2023 in South Africa by Cape Town’s M. R. Skunkworks, the aim of the project was to produce a very well-detailed evocation based on modern BMW running gear.

Nothing important to see here. Just a man at the checkout buying some aluminium and hard cheese.  (Did you never wonder where he got all those aluminium sheets from in Oathbringer?) Anyway, nothing wrong with being prepared. What would you pack for a journey to Roshar?

Bandit9 Motors' EVE Odyssey !

0-60 faster than an Indy car, a top speed over 260 kmh, experience up to 2g's accelerating, and cover 250 miles without emitting any CO2.

Truly handmade, the motorcycle takes 3 months to craft from scratch to the brilliant final form. 

Brushed with a brilliant finish, the 7075 aluminium used in the bodywork is known for its high strength, toughness, and resistance to fatigue.

Steel Inquisitors "see" with metalsight (the blue lines that steelpush/ironpull allomancers see), right.

And aluminum is allomantically inert and doesn't give the blue line, right.

So would a Steel Inquisitor walk into a panel of aluminum the way a bird flies into a clear glass window?

Geneva ‘74 50 years on: Michelotti Lem. The Laboratorio Elettrico Mobile has started as an idea by engineering journalist Gianni Rogliatti who proposed an electric car with wheels in a rhomboidal layout. Michelotti built the prototype using bonded aluminium with the centrally placed rear wheel driven by 48 Volt batteries. It was displayed 50 years ago at the 44th Geneva Motor Show
