Back in the early 70’s I had a economic professor walk into class and open with, “What ever happened to bumpers that bump?” He went on to explain that in his day (he was rather old), if you saw a buddy stopped at an intersection you could run into the rear of his car with yours and rocket him across the intersection because the bumpers were spring loaded and the cars didn’t weigh much.

Still have an 89 Lincoln Town Car in excellent shape with some serious chrome bumpers (pre air bags). I pity the fool who hits me in one of those econo boxes. I've got a good 10 feet from front bumper to windshield. They don't make em like they used to.
