The car is also made out of metal. Why do you need the metal in front?
More weight = more magnetic
I don't know.
The actual metal content varies. With plastic bumpers, aluminum condenser/radiator, composite support pieces, the actual amount of magnetic metal may be quite minimal, and there's practically no vehicles that have so much metal in their front end to compare to a slab of metal on the outside.
Try using a magnet on a can of coke.
"But it's made of metal" he says.
And that's why I drink Pepsi.
