You can definitely bend your hood doing that.

Sounds like you need to put a lawn chair in the trunk.

You can pretty much dent the hood/fenders just by looking at them the wrong way.

Besides the obvious denting that would occur, I would never let anyone on the car for fear of paint scratches. Bc unless it was just washed, you'll get them. And even if clean still probably would.

Even if you didn't know it was aluminum and dents without much effort have you never noticed how easily it starts to flex with just your hand?

For sure. And a lawn chair is probably a lot more comfortable.

Why not lay across trunk with legs brought inward. It will really depend on how you can get up there and lay. There is a reason you can lay on a bed of nails without stabbing yourself. Distributing weight it can be done.

Scratch that, I'm 155lb and just tried it. Still seems to be rather risky. Chair it is.
