actually it should, its called a crumple zone. It is designed to absorbe the energy of the impact by incresing the time it takes for the vehicle(s) to stop. It is a very good design choice, saves many lives. |

hmmm....... funny thing. people say the same thing about the tie rods. They break, like a fuse, to lessen the damage to more vital parts. |

damn, next weekend... it's that soon
I don't think I can swing that. I'm missing all sorts of rides. My local guys are at Morris Mountain this weekend and I decided not to do it. |
