Re: liposuction

["Ron Jordan" <ron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, on the subject of bumpers, I know one thing.  If I am going to get into
an accident, then it will most likely be at a higher speed, and I like the
look of the euro look, so mine are getting sucked in.

the great thing about being an individual is making choices on your own and
doing thing YOU want.   So to each thier own and all the power to you

Cheers

  My e12 528i was definitely saved by its extendo-bumpers when I was
  rear-ended by a jeep cherokee, an accident that put major hurt on the SUV
  and left me with a little scratch. I experienced very little shock, and
  the bad disks in my neck felt no worse than usual. I'm very gratefull for
  that bumper. I would think that in non-extendo models they put the energy
  absorption somewhere else; with bottomed cyliners there wouldn't any
  place for the energy to go.

  It just a matter of what you're willing to give up to look good. I'm
  lucky, I guess, in liking the form-follows-funtion, don't-mess-with-me
  look of the big bumpers. I've always thought that the euro bumpers on the
  70's/80's grey market cars (esp. MBz) looked cheap, old-fashioned and
  feeble.
