Have any of the genius drivers here ever noticed that when you brake, the front of a car "dives" to a certain extent directly in proportion to the degree of braking? The bumper is at a fine height (unless you're going head to head with a SUV). Just stop driving into people! (If you must, do as I did and hit them without braking...oops. It was only 25mph, but it totaled the '95 Jetta) Matt Summers Metro DC '92 900S White Flame (aka David Holz) <white-flame!!!nopsamemove!!!cities.com> wrote: : So I get in what should have been a fender bender yesterday.
