But seriously, if y'all don't want a crash bar, don't get one. I for one believe that if I crash my car, I have different worries than if the bumper smashed in differently.
They make police cars with 6x as many spot welds, bull bars welded on tight, no foam, stronger parts, etc; basically a hauling-ass-death-dealing-machine. I'd rather have a car built to destroy and last forever, than a crumply tin can. Also, look at an accident between any 70s solid steel car and a new little plastic one. I'll tell you which one wins, and gets fixed with a hammer and some paint.
Don't mean to offend any with this.. just a rant for the sake of rant! :happy0180:

Yes cars from the 70's survived accidents much better than modern cars, I'm sure that was a great consolation to the families of the drivers after the accident. At least they could buff out the damage to the paint and sell the car to offset funeral expenses.
Cars crumple to suck energy out of collisions and channel it around the occupants. Fixing or replacing a car is far cheaper than medical expenses.
