Why the hell do people think that the world revolves around them (In this case car drivers) if they want it to be safer, then just get an SUV and stop bitchin’

Life is not Fair! Thats what my little kids would say to me. And thats what I here with the whole bumper argument. People that drive only cars want the rest of world to sit on the ground just they do. Well too bad, life if NOT fair. So grow up, stop cring and live with it. Cars and trucks will never and should never be the same.

well i think that the idea is dumb! We should all get F1 for the streets,raised few cm from the ground!with an extra of a full bumper all around,just like go carts!then take the engine of the f1 and place a 1.3liter engine instead!

why only reinforce the bumper, just make every vehicle with a full roll cage…

I think everyone is missing the point. The bumpers need to be the same height, not because of payouts but because in highspeed accidents, cars drivers are killed more often. So why ONLY lower the truck bumpers? Just find a middle ground and make a standard height, even if that means raising the cars bumpers a little to accomodate the truck market. It won’t matter anyway in the long run, markets change, aftermarket will lower cars and trucks and raise others to ungodly levels, aged car and truck suspensions will sag and it will all fluctuate anyway. One more thing, for the love of God Glen, learn to spell.

Dumbstthing i ever heard of, tlowr th bumper on and suv, too many suv’s sit too low as it isho cares that if you hita smart car you take its roof off. that is theirproblem, i am all for a truck to sit as high a it should for good grund clearance alth lower bumper will man is te sunds of scrapin as you leave a parking lot, wo cares and who evertough of lowering the bumper should be ran over!

Cars suck buy a truck!

It doesn’t matter much now, with everybody rushing to buy the tin can hybrids now anyway. Besides, even if this did pass it wouldn’t change the actual vehicles for another ten to fifteen years, at which time we’ll scoff at what George Orwell called “Wasters” anyway.

1984 may have been a few decades off, but it gets to be a creepier read every day.

If i wanted a vehicle with 4 wheel drive and no ground clearance I’d buy a subaru wagon. why would they try to do this to an already struggling market

This is STUPID!!! What happens when we get 2 feet of snow? or go up in the mountains to hike, climb, hunt, etc… and you can’t get very far cause you hit all the bumps, rocks, and stumps? Plus they’ll start making some dumb looking SUVs and trucks. What’s next? raised cars, lowered trucks, no window tint, no loud exhaust, where does it end? they’ve taken so much, how much more can they take?
