This is sort of off topic, but not really, but

[RANT]

The point of the bumper bully, buddy, badger and every other product like that out there is to to be flipped out over your bumper when parallel parking, or while being parallel parked. People need to stop driving around with them hanging out ALL THE TIME!! STICK IT IN THE TRUNK!! I see that atleast 2-3 times a day here in on LI.

Thats what I am saying. From the context of what they are typing I am guessing it is something that cushions your bumpers if someone decides to hit your car while parking.

Not so much cushions, but it's a rubber flap so it keeps it from getting scratched. I'm not saying it's totally useless, I'm just saying it's tacky and rediculous driving with it out.

Does it add any horsepower when it is fully flapping in the wind?

Probably means someone hit your car and that is just to show you that the bumper buddy is working.

Yeah that thing might prevent scuffs and stuff like like, but if you get any real impact forrrgeaaboutit!

I was actually thinking about something i could put on the front and rear bumpers to ward of tailgaiters and people who don't know how to park.

Maybe huge front and rear tow-hooks, so if someone does hit your car they will pay dearly and your bumper should stay scratch free.

My bumper bully is 30" long, made of ash wood, and sits in my trunk. It only comes out when someone really needs it.

Not too much older than you. Some dumb kid thought it would be fun to ride my bumper through my neighborhood. So playing the parent role instead of the adult I slowed it down..... stop... put it in park and had a friendly talk about driver safety, civics and ethical responsibility.. went something like: "What the f*&k's your malfunction.. You drive any closer to my bumper and I'll stick my foot so far up you a$* you'll be praying to holy je*.."..

kid calls sheriff and picks up one of his buddies to testify to the event.. I live next door to a constable and it's in my neighborhood.. kid gets the 5th degree and breaks down.. lol.. haven't seen him or his hatch ricer since.

but in all seriousness.. everyone should play the adult and be vigilant and defensive. I've had a couple of classmates shot while driving on the freeway in California because one of them was yelling at the other in the car, joking around.. car next to them thinks they're yelling at them.. and the rest isn't too difficult to figure out. luckily the two of them survived, one shot 3 times. Perp never caught.
