I hate modern cars. I remember when there was actual steel (made in the USA I might add) in a car. When you had a car accident there was crumpled metal, bent, folded, twisted, metal. None of this plastic rap we have now. When there was a fender bender, your fender was bent. It did not break in half, or shatter like so much glass, it bent. Sometimes you could bend it back (a man could, and not some girly man ether) and drive away. Plus if you drove over an accident sight there was not stuff everywhere that could screw-up someone’s tire. Ether the cars could be driven away, in which case the only evidence of an accident was the head/tail light glass, or they had to be towed away in which case the few pieces (large pieces) that did come off could be picked up by the tow truck driver. Now with DC traffic what it is plus the idiots we have driving here there is shattered fenders and bumpers (plus head/tail light glass) at every damn intersection. It looks like Mogadishu out there. And don't even get me started on the stuff you see on the side of the road.

Ford, GM, Chrysler, you guys listening? I know Honda and Mitsubishi are not going to do anything about this.
