Wow - this is such a coincidence! I was just discussing this with my hubby on the ride home today. I saw a rear bumper (plastic mind you) that had been torn off by the rear driver side. I was stating to him why do they not have the wrap around bumpers like the olden cars use to. What the heck is that protecting? There was practically no sign of any bumper under that plastic that was ripped off.
I want my old cars back. Even I use to be able to fix them if I broke down on the side of the road.
Here's a better view.
I was griping about this the other day too! There aren’t actual bumpers on cars anymore. and they need them badly! something rubber all around the cars would be nice!
