That "MG" Aluminum really holds up well against rocks and tool boxes!

Chevy is making "hay" from aluminum, - now that is inventive!

Everybody knows that "military grade" aluminum is not as good as "aircraft grade" aluminum, and it's not even close to the "combat grade" aluminum I use in my shop. It's actually the same ol' 6160 aluminum as you find in most mechanical components, but hey: Marketing is marketing. Remember the Corinthian leather?
