Bumper Guards (aka Bumper Diapers)

I remember the days of old where Buick Regals, Ford LTDs, Oldsmobile Cutlass roam... with their big Metal bumpers.

No body would even bat an eye if someone "nudges" you with a courtesy tap at the parking lot or else where.

Now a days, we see this >

No kidding!

Anyone with those things attached to their vehicle seems to just invite trouble...

Absolutely true.
However, have you ever seen some people who park their full-size mercedes (or Hummers, F250s, etc.) in the "Compact Only" parking spot? Not sure if you can call those folks "being nice enough"...

Agreed.
Especially when those characters pull in & park next to you.. and you can't even get into your own vehicle no more.

It's funny how the examples they used were on high end cars. Lower end cars need love too!

I have seen license plate frames with foam padding like that to aid in bumping stuff and I thought that was retarded but this is a whole new level!
