CURB FEELERS for the 21st century!!!

cossie1600 · 10-26-2011, 05:57 PM

Freaking car is less than 175". Do people really have to jam the car right up against the curb? Only my mom/wife does that

6MT · 10-26-2011, 06:19 PM

No.... you have to be real careful.

I parked on Main St. once and my car was 2 in. from the curb but i was parked on the line on the left side. I would have eaten some curb if I really tried to fit into the spot.

With that said...I'd just avoid parking on the side of the road, or use your mirrors. They don't tilt down but you can see the curb if you sit up.

Actually I think this is pretty cool. If anyone tries this I would like some input on how well it works. Like lots of people in this forum I scrapped the hell out of my front lip and bumper.

my wife could use one on our honda fit.

on a lowered car it might constantly beep on the road.

I assume there is an on/off switch on it. I would only turn it on when parking.

I honestly would never buy something like that. Once you are used to your vehicle and parking it, that would be next to useless.

Look at the car on that website. It has a scoop that looks like it's there to collect rainwater or something! Proof that anyone can use photoshop!

ahh... that makes too much sense!

but damage occurs when you least expect it... like uneven roads.

Side note - I love that game from your avatar, I used to play that for hours as a kid

I usually back-in to spaces when possible or just leave myself plenty of room.
