Car Bumpers

Why don't cars have them any more ?

Re: Car Bumpers

I hadn't noticed that they didn't, Patsy!

Re: Car Bumpers

Have I imagined it Surely not

Re: Car Bumpers

I think they still do they are just rather plasticy and coloured same as the car paint so look like part of the body work.

Re: Car Bumpers

Are you sure about that - or you kiddin me along .......
I say new cars don't have bumpers, not where I live anyway
I'm not losing me marbles again am I .................

Re: Car Bumpers

As I said I believe they look like part of the car rather than something you would see separately. So we could both be right, they have them but we can't see them

Re: Car Bumpers

Feel better now

Re: Car Bumpers

Good!

Re: Car Bumpers

Isn't it ironic that "Bumper Cars" never had bumpers.

Re: Car Bumpers

It's because the safety design of cars has changed, old cars were solid and the bumper bar was there to take the shock out of any collision, but now the cars are made to take the shock by crumpling.
