Scarlet letter
Feb 20, 2006 5:11AM PST

Cool, maybe someday when this technology is on everybody's car, I won't have to worry about all the level one A-holes that use my bumper as a guide about when to stop backing up when they're parallel parking.

The worst ones wear their inconsiderate behavior like a scarlet letter on their back bumper - just check out how mauled it is. If you go on a date and want to know if they'll end up being a self-centered jerk, just sneak a peek at their rear bumper. It's probably a 100% tell.

PS my front bumper has nice big square-edged bolts holding on my license plate. I should also carve my initials in there as my branding iron on their car when they back into it Silly

... mount some spikes on the bumpers so when they pull up or back into you, you'll leave nice reminders on their bumper to be more careful. Wink
