[RU88]

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.

When I bought my 98 F-150 it came with a steel bumper on the rear. I was rear-ended 3 weeks after I bought it - a minor tap I thought, as I hardly felt a thing (I was stopped at a red light at the time). My bumper had a small scratch on it and the left side was slightly pushed in (barely noticable). You should have seen the damage on the little Honda. Headlight and turn signal were destroyed, front grill was destroyed. Hood was pushed up. Bumper was dragging the ground. Who knows what the damage inder the skin was. It was a mess.
