I suppose all hell breaks loose at 3mph
remember when a 5mph collision wouldn't even get people out of their cars to inspect possible damage - that's what bumpers were for! Now?
I remember when my Dodge Dart Swinger stalled and would not restart - I asked the guy behind me to push my car with his bumper (remember THAT?) and he said that he couldn't because he didn't have a bumper - I looked and it was just fiberglass like all cars are now. Giving me a little push would have messed up his car. I looked back at him and he shrugged.
I miss bumpers that were useful...
I saw this on the car next to me when I parked at the store... Not sure, I'd buy a car that couldn't guarantee no damage to the car if it's hit ON THE BUMPER at 2.5mph
