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:

You just lost all credibility with that statement. The safety standards of 70s steel cars are so far below that of any US production car. Those crumple zones? Those are so you don't die in a crash. You may be able to fix a dent easier on an older car, but anything more than a fender bender and both the modern car and the occupant are going to be in much better shape. And by the way, Police cars have strengthened front ends so they can perform pit maneuvers, not so they'll fare better in a traffic accident.
