Pics & Impressions from Slate showing in Denver today

Y'all pushing for a prop bar are crazy. Even though it's in the front, the hood covers the Slate's trunk. Can you think of any regular car that has a prop bar to hold open the trunk?

Edit: i must have skipped a whole page of the conversation, as i now see others already made this point.

Thinking of it as a storage area that you're going to be getting in and out of all the time.....yah, struts might make more sense. I normally prefer prop rods on a hood, but on this one I'm going to have to say struts are the better choice.

For some reason I'm noticing my browser keeps dropping the last page of comments on this Forum until I hit "Submit". Might be a website issue.

Struts give you that nice 'psweeeeeeee' noise when they go up. Can't get that in a prop rod!

Ha! "Click" is certainly not as satisfying. (But better than my Lightning frunk currently -- (silence = not working)).
