You will die it that at "driving speed" way easier. Nobody cares at 5 miles per hour.
**** the bumper and the dent.
It would be in your face at your funeral.  :wave:  
Please seat yourself.

You got a real thing about this.
"Bumper" is a neat word if you say it over and over while on nitrous oxide.
Please seat yourself.

Same goes for the word "fuel".

Don't buy electric cars. I agree. Don't buy solar panels either.

National Highway safety made that happen since 1973, and got worse every decade since..

"Going on strike" in the consumer world is called the free market.  Too bad for all the government fatwas.

You really don't understand evolving in plain sight places each ancestor to stay alive while spontaneously adapting in space simultaneously here as any of the 5 generation people living.

Why the concept of seniority doesn't work with human rights issues are debated about rank gets privileges those not ranked can't have.

There's a reason they don't have large rigid bumpers and have been replaced with crumple zones to help lesson the impact on passengers. Use your **** brain, maybe do some research before posting your **** senseless rants. Just the engineering alone behind the current front and back ends of cars is more expensive than throwing a bumper on it,
One of your  safest ever "Crumple Zone" cars met the massive back bumper of my 4000 pound Ford  F-150 head on at about 40 MPH.
The impact tore my truck's back bumper off the frame but the truck's frame was undamaged.
The compact sedan that the Crack Heads were in was "crumpled" beyond repair....a total loss but the passengers were saved by air bags.
I was able to pound my trucks bumper and the bumper brackets back into shape and reuse them. The holes for the bumper bolts were torn and required a little bit of welding.
I had to buy 6 new nuts and bolts and a can of spray paint..... :)

Cars are designed to crumple in order to save the occupants. Thank the Feds for that!
