Yep...you'd need to make sure that the bumper was spotless everytime the thing was put on....hardly feasible or worth it in the grand scheme of things. I mean....if one daily drives their car it's only a matter of when....not if.

Umm. Not what I was expecting this thread to be about.
Had envisaged something about badgers humping doggie style....

Oh well, I am an Aussie after all.

You can get a rubber yoga mat from Target for $5.00 to $10.00 and use that and save money. The idea is solid, but the look and price are liquid IMO

good idea! - like I said, it's "inventive" (and that was all I said).

CrazedEpidemic · 12-30-2008, 04:14 PM

I see these sometimes. I guess it good when you park but some people drive on the road with them.

You need to pay attention to the front and rear bumpers of cars driven by older folks 70+ yo and you will see that they use the bumper as a "close enough" warning.

It's a neat idea but I'm sure someone will just rip it right off in a matter of days.
