Tom,

this is not a problem of Show, but of the eye. A log-log-plot will reveal
the detail at low stress:

<< Graphics`Graphics`

In[15]:=
LogLogListPlot[x, PlotJoined -> True, 
  AxesLabel -> {"e(in.in.)", "\[Sigma](ksi)"}, PlotStyle -> RGBColor[1, 0,
0]]

Now you clearly will have seen the linear elastic range. The error message

>From In[15]:=
Graphics::"gptn" : "Coordinate -[Infinity] in {-\[Infinity], 0} is not a
floating-point number."

is a useful reminder.
